## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "orbis-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","orbis-mcp"]
  }
}
```

> MCP server for [Orbis](https://orbisapi.com) — gives Claude, Cursor, and any AI agent access to **2,800+ APIs** with x402 USDC micropayments on Base. **$0.01/call. No signup.**

---

## What this does

This MCP server connects your AI agent to the Orbis API marketplace. Your agent can:

- **Browse** 2,800+ APIs across data, AI, finance, and utilities
- **Call** any API directly — payment handled automatically via x402 on Base
- **No API keys** — agents pay per call in USDC, no accounts needed

---

## Quickstart

### Claude Desktop

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orbis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@orbisapi/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Config file location:**
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

### Cursor

  "mcpServers": {
    "orbis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@orbisapi/mcp"]

## How payments work

Orbis uses the [x402 protocol](https://x402.org) — an open HTTP payment standard built on Base. When your agent calls an API:

1. Orbis returns a `402 Payment Required` response with payment details
2. The MCP server handles the USDC payment on Base automatically
3. The API call completes — total cost: **$0.01**

No wallets to configure for browsing. To make paid calls, provide your Base wallet via `ORBIS_KEY`.

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `ORBIS_KEY` | No | Your Orbis API key from [orbisapi.com](https://orbisapi.com) — enables paid API calls |
