Scan TCP ports on any host -- check open/closed status, response time. 16 common ports by default. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "port-scanner": {
      "url": "https://port-scanner.api.klymax402.com/mcp"

}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

Terminal

curl -X POST "https://port-scanner.api.klymax402.com/api/scan" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"host":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
