Can I use this server without the Circle CLI?

No, currently it shells out to the Circle CLI for all operations to avoid reimplementing the API client.

What is the x402 pay feature?

It allows paying x402-priced endpoints in USDC and returns the endpoint's response, enabling pay-per-call usage.

Is it safe to expose this server publicly?

You should set spend caps, use dev wallets initially, review allowlists, and never commit your CIRCLE_API_KEY.

Does it support multi-chain or other stablecoins?

Multi-chain support and other stablecoins like EURC are planned for future releases.

Overview

This MCP server exposes tools from Circle's Agent Stack via the Circle CLI, enabling AI agents to create USDC wallets, set spending policies, check balances, send USDC, and pay x402-priced endpoints. It is suitable for integrating Circle stablecoin operations into AI workflows without handling authentication directly in the server. The server currently shells out to the Circle CLI but plans to support direct HTTP API calls in future versions.

Use cases

Create and manage USDC wallets for AI agents

Set daily and x402 spend caps with allow/block lists

Retrieve wallet balances and recent transactions

Send USDC to on-chain addresses

Pay x402-priced endpoints and receive their responses

Key features

Create dev, hosted, or smart agent wallets

List wallets with USDC balances

View wallet balance and last 10 transactions

Set spend policies including daily and x402 caps

Send USDC transfers on-chain

Documentation Overview

circle-agent-stack-mcp

MCP server for Circle's Agent Stack. Create wallets, set spend policies, send USDC, and pay x402-priced endpoints — all from a tool call.

Terminal

npx circle-agent-stack-mcp

Tools

Tool	What it does
`circle_wallet_create`	Create an agent wallet (dev/hosted/smart)
`circle_wallet_list`	List wallets with USDC balances
`circle_balance`	Balance + last 10 txns for a wallet
`circle_policy_set`	Set daily cap, x402 cap, allow/block lists
`circle_transfer_usdc`	Send USDC to an on-chain address
`circle_x402_pay`	Pay an x402-priced endpoint and return its response

Quickstart

You need the Circle CLI installed and authenticated:

Terminal

npm install -g @circle-fin/circle-cli
circle login
export CIRCLE_API_KEY=your_key_here

Claude Desktop

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "circle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "circle-agent-stack-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CIRCLE_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Terminal

claude mcp add circle -- npx -y circle-agent-stack-mcp

Example

Code

You: Create a dev wallet called eva-treasury, set a $5 daily cap and $0.10 x402 cap,
     then fetch today's BTC signal from the x402 endpoint at https://signals.example.co/btc

Claude:
→ circle_wallet_create("eva-treasury", type="dev")
  { wallet_id: "wal_abc123", address: "0x..." }

→ circle_policy_set("wal_abc123", daily_cap_usdc=5, x402_cap_usdc=0.10)
  { status: "applied" }

→ circle_x402_pay("wal_abc123", "https://signals.example.co/btc", max_price_usdc=0.10)
  { signal: "LONG", confidence: 0.72, price_paid_usdc: 0.05 }

Today's BTC signal: LONG (72% confidence). Paid $0.05.

Self-hosting with x402 paywall

http-server.ts wraps the same tools behind an x402 paywall — agents pay per call in USDC rather than using an API key. Useful if you want to expose Circle tooling as a paid service.

bash

CIRCLE_PAYOUT_ADDRESS=0x... npm run start:http

To test the x402 flow locally, run the toy demo server in examples/x402-demo-server.mjs.

How it works

v0.1 shells out to the Circle CLI for all operations. This keeps auth handling out of this repo and avoids reimplementing the API client before the tool surface is validated. v0.2 will switch to direct HTTP via @circle-fin/circle-sdk.

Security

Your Circle API key has spend authority. Always:

Set daily_cap_usdc before enabling automated payments
Start on type="dev" wallets, not mainnet
Review the allowlist before moving to production
Don't commit CIRCLE_API_KEY

Roadmap

circle_nanopayment_stream — streaming x402 payments for per-token billing
circle_skills_list / circle_skills_call — Circle Skills marketplace
Direct HTTP API mode (v0.2) — remove CLI dependency
Multi-chain — EURC, CCTP cross-chain transfers
