This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: X402_PAYMENT_HEADER (Signed x402 payment token from your wallet client. Set if handling payments manually.), X402_INTERNAL_KEY (Bypass key for trusted internal callers — skips x402 payment flow entirely.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

X402 Tools MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for X402 Tools MCP?
X402 Tools MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @melis-ai/x402-tools-mcp was installed 61 times last week.
How do I connect X402 Tools MCP?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @melis-ai/x402-tools-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use X402 Tools MCP?
The npm package @melis-ai/x402-tools-mcp was installed 61 times in the last week. Week over week that is +183%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is X402 Tools MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
