Citely-x402
An open MCP server that gates content & tools behind x402 stablecoin micropayments — with a pluggable content provider and a pluggable payment network (Base today, GOAT Network as the headline integration).
Most "agent payments" demos rebuild x402 from scratch. This repo extracts a clean, reusable gateway: an MCP server exposing search_articles + get_article, gated by a free-quota entitlement and then x402 pay-per-call. Two seams keep it generic and keep any proprietary data out.
Quickstart
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env # defaults to base-sepolia
pnpm example # boots the gateway on http://localhost:3402
pnpm tsx scripts/agent-client.ts # discovers → hits the 402The 402 → pay → 200 flow, end to end:
# 1) No payment → 402 with the x402 payment requirements
curl -i http://localhost:3402/api/read/stablecoin-licensing-basics
# HTTP/1.1 402
# [{"scheme":"exact","network":"eip155:84532","maxAmountRequired":"300000",
# "asset":"0x036CbD…","payTo":"0x…","resource":"/read/stablecoin-licensing-basics"}]
# 2) With an X-PAYMENT proof → 200 with the body
curl -H "x-payment: <proof>" http://localhost:3402/api/read/stablecoin-licensing-basicsRelated MCP server: x402-fetch-mcp

GOAT is an EVM-compatible, Bitcoin-secured L2, so the same ExactEvmScheme (EIP-3009 USDC) applies. See docs/goat-integration.md and docs/erc-8004-identity.md.

import { createGatewayMcpHandler } from "citely-x402";
import type { ContentProvider } from "citely-x402";
const myProvider: ContentProvider = {
listCatalog: (q) => /* your catalog */ [],
getContent: (slug) => /* your body + provenance */ null,
};
const handler = createGatewayMcpHandler({

});
export { handler as GET, handler as POST };Relation to Citely
This is the open x402/MCP gateway. Citely (private) plugs its own provenance-backed content provider into these same interfaces — the proprietary content, on-chain (EAS) provenance, and expert-review pipeline stay private. Nothing in this repo is Citely content; the shipped provider is dummy sample data.
