Kerdos X402 MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 46 installs a week from npm. Last commit 27 Apr 2026.
Crypto market intelligence MCP — pay-per-tool-call in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol.
Today is the operative word: we check Kerdos X402 MCP 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.
