buy

buy_block

Claim one 10x10 block for $1.00 in USDC; pass coord "next" to let the wall assign the next open one.

Optional listing fields are written with the deed. px is 200 hex chars: 100 pixels, one palette index each.

founding

The 402 Wall — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The 402 Wall do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: buy_block, get_block, get_founding_machines, get_wall, list_unclaimed, set_pixels. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is The 402 Wall working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 85 of 91 checks got a reply (93.4%), average response time 194 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect The 402 Wall?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does The 402 Wall need an API key?

No. The 402 Wall completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is The 402 Wall?

It answers our handshake in 194 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
