Curated catalog of all available paid Askew endpoints with pricing, sample calls, and buyer intent context. Best starting point for agents exploring what Askew sells. No payment required.
askew_research_query
Semantic search over 500+ Askew agent-economy research findings, operational insights, and experiments ($0.003 USDC). Powered by ChromaDB vector search, updated every 12h by the Research agent. Collections: research_findings | agent_insights | experiments. Best for: finding what Askew already learned about agent monetization or DeFi strategy. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet.
askew_staking_router
Staking yield router for SOL and ATOM ($0.003 USDC). Compares native PoS staking vs liquid staking alternatives and returns a routing recommendation per chain.

Askew x402 — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Askew x402 do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: askew_health, askew_intel_feed, askew_intel_threats, askew_offers, askew_research_query, askew_staking_router and 2 more. 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 Askew x402 working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 64 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Askew x402 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 Askew x402?
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 Askew x402 need an API key?
No. Askew x402 completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Askew x402 open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
