Agent Pay MCP Overview
The agent-pay-mcp MCP server lets MCP clients call x402 APIs and pay eligible requests in USDC on Base. Its `paid_fetch`, `list_merchants`, and `budget_status` tools use configuration and an owner-signed budget to constrain merchants, prices, and spending. The model can propose a payment, but it cannot change the policy or widen the budget. Use it when an agent needs paid API access with bounded, auditable payment rules.
Primary Use Cases for Agent Pay MCP:
- Fetch data from x402 APIs with bounded payments
- Inspect permitted merchants and their remaining budgets
- Give MCP agents paid API access on Base
- Test payment refusal and settlement behavior on Base Sepolia
