## Description
DeFi data API for AI agents — pay-per-call via x402/USDC on Base

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "x402-api": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@x402-api/mcp-server"]
  }
}

> MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible AI agent access to pay-per-call crypto/DeFi data via the [x402 protocol](https://github.com/coinbase/x402).

**8 tools. No API keys. AI agents pay USDC micropayments on Base, per request.**

## Quick Start

### Option A: Inspect mode (no payment needed)

Just run it — any 402 responses will return human-readable payment instructions:

```bash
npx @x402-api/mcp-server
```

Claude will tell you what's needed when a tool requires payment.

### Option B: Auto-pay mode (fully autonomous)

Install optional payment deps and set your wallet key:

```bash
npm install -g @x402-api/mcp-server
npm install -g x402-fetch viem
export X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your_private_key>
x402-api-mcp
```

The server will auto-pay 402 responses using USDC on Base. **Make sure your wallet has USDC on Base mainnet.**

---

## Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

### Without auto-pay (inspect mode)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

### With auto-pay

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your_private_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

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

---

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY` | Optional | Private key for auto-pay (e.g. `0x...`). If set, x402-fetch handles payments automatically. |
| `X402_API_BASE_URL` | Optional | Override API URL (default: `https://x402-api.fly.dev`) |

## How x402 Payments Work

This API uses the [x402 protocol](https://github.com/coinbase/x402) — HTTP 402 Payment Required:

1. **Agent calls tool** → MCP server makes API request
2. **Server returns 402** with payment details (amount, USDC address, Base network)
3. **Auto-pay mode:** x402-fetch signs and submits payment, retries request automatically
4. **Manual mode:** MCP returns 402 details so user/agent can arrange payment

**Payment details:**
- Token: USDC on Base mainnet
- Address: `0x60264c480b67adb557efEd22Cf0e7ceA792DefB7`
- Chain: Base (chain ID 8453)
- Amount: 0.001–0.008 USDC per call (< 1 cent USD)
