APIbase Overview

whiteknightonhorse/APIbase MCP server gives agents access to APIs through endpoint discovery, schema inspection, authenticated HTTP requests, and USDC payment handling. The hosted MCP endpoint supports x402 payments on Base and MPP payments on Tempo, while the repository documents a self-hosted Node.js/TypeScript deployment. Use it when an agent needs to find unfamiliar API services, inspect request schemas, fund or move wallet balances, and call paid endpoints through one interface. The server exposes the listed wallet, discovery, payment, settings, and request tools, with the README describing access to 1,378 tools from 395 providers.
