MCP Server Overview

@asterpay/mcp-server MCP server exposes merchant catalog, business information, ordering, order tracking, and x402 payment tools to AI agents. It also supports prepaid AsterPay budgets funded with USDC on Base, with spending limits and call-level balance checks. Reach for it when an agent needs to discover products, place merchant orders, or pay for x402 APIs under a human-funded budget. Actual payment execution requires an x402 client, while budget activation requires either an existing token or a human-sent USDC transfer.
