This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

This server publishes 1 more address. The block above uses the one we reach during checks; the full list is under Endpoints below, and the author may intend a particular one for your client.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

audit
audit_x402_endpoint
Technical audit for API developers launching or debugging x402. Returns deeper read-only evidence of payment configuration, schemas, redirects, CORS, cache behavior, OpenAPI, llms.txt, agent metadata, and x402 discovery consistency. Requires an explicitly authorized x402 purchase; does not test settlement, paid delivery, or actual marketplace indexing.
inspect
inspect_x402_endpoint
Free endpoint check for API developers launching or debugging x402. Inspect your live payment challenge and caller-selected comparison policy without sending payment credentials. ALLOW and BLOCK are policy decisions, not launch certification; a price-limit BLOCK does not establish a broken integration. Buyer-side inspection remains available.
order
order_x402_remediation
Diagnostic report for API developers launching or debugging x402. An explicitly authorized x402 purchase creates a durable order for asynchronous findings, evidence, and prioritized fix recommendations in JSON/Markdown. The receipt is not the completed report. No implementation, human consultation, target payment, deployment, or guaranteed marketplace indexing.

x402 Preflight — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can x402 Preflight do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: audit_x402_endpoint, inspect_x402_endpoint, order_x402_remediation. 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 x402 Preflight working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 26 of 182 checks got a reply (14.3%), average response time 405 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect x402 Preflight?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does x402 Preflight need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, x402 Preflight answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is x402 Preflight?
It answers our handshake in 405 ms on average, which is faster than 31% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is x402 Preflight open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Shell and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
