Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/apay/__init__.py:1, [пакет] src/apay/burn_engine.py:1, [пакет] src/apay/channel.py:1 и ещё 18

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

apay_get_wallet_status

Inspect the agent's active non-custodial wallet address, network, current spending guardrails, and total spent in USDC and $APAY.

apay_inspect_endpoint

Inspect an endpoint to check if it requires an A-Pay micropayment, inspect the exact price quote, currency, and payout receiver without spending any funds.

apay_request

Probe and automatically pay HTTP 402 crypto micropayments on Base Layer 2 with USDC or $APAY within pre-configured budget limits.

apay_set_budget

A-Pay Protocol — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can A-Pay Protocol do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: apay_get_balance, apay_get_wallet_status, apay_inspect_endpoint, apay_request, apay_set_budget. 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 A-Pay Protocol working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 6 of 92 checks got a reply (6.5%), average response time 696 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is A-Pay Protocol still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists A-Pay Protocol as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect A-Pay Protocol?

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.

Does A-Pay Protocol need an API key?

No. A-Pay Protocol completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is A-Pay Protocol?

It answers our handshake in 696 ms on average, which is faster than 13% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use A-Pay Protocol?

The pypi package apay was installed 197 times in the last week. Week over week that is -51%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
