x402 Universal Payer runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 38 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.
Pay any x402 endpoint on the open web: auto-paying bridge with Bazaar discovery and spend caps.
Today is the operative word: we check x402 Universal Payer every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
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:
MCP_BRIDGE_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY (0x-prefixed 32-byte hex private key that funds USDC payments on EVM chains (Base, Arbitrum, …). At least one of the EVM/SVM keys is required. Treat like cash — use a dedicated low-balance wallet.), MCP_BRIDGE_SVM_PRIVATE_KEY (Solana secret key that funds USDC payments: base58 64-byte secret key (Phantom / solana-keygen format) or a JSON array of 64 integers. At least one of the EVM/SVM keys is required. Treat like cash.), MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_PRICE_PER_CALL_ATOMIC (Per-call spending cap in atomic units (USDC has 6 decimals). Payments above this abort with a clear reason.), MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_TOTAL_ATOMIC (Cumulative session spending ceiling in atomic units. Once total spend would exceed it, further payments abort until restart.), MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOWED_PAYTO (Comma-separated payee allowlist. When set, any payment whose payTo address is not listed is refused.), MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS (Comma-separated hostname allowlist for outbound paid requests. When set, any other host is refused before a request is signed.), MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOW_HTTP (Set to 1 to allow http:// targets (local development only). https is enforced otherwise.), MCP_BRIDGE_DISCOVER_LIMIT (Max number of x402 Bazaar resources to register as dynamic tools at startup. Set 0 to disable discovery.), MCP_BRIDGE_BAZAAR_URL (x402 Bazaar discovery endpoint. Override to point at a self-hosted or alternative bazaar.), MCP_BRIDGE_BATCH_DEPOSIT_MULTIPLIER (How many request-amounts to deposit at once when opening an EVM batch-settlement channel.), MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_DEPOSIT_ATOMIC (Hard cap in atomic units on a single batch-settlement channel deposit or top-up.), X402_MCP_BRIDGE_CHANNELS_DIR (Directory for persisted batch-settlement channel state (survives client restarts).), RPC_URL_8453 (Per-chain RPC override, one variable per chain id (RPC_URL_<chainId>, e.g. RPC_URL_8453 for Base). Defaults to viem's public RPC for that chain.).
