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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-server -- npx -y @true402.dev/mcp-server

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY (Funded Base wallet private key for x402 payment signing (optional; without it, paid tools return the 402 requirements).), SERVER_URL (true402 API base (default https://true402.dev/api). Must be https (or localhost) — the signer refuses to send a payment over cleartext.), MAX_PAYMENT_USDC (Client-side per-call spend ceiling in USDC (default 0.10). The signer refuses to auto-pay a 402 whose amount exceeds this — protects the wallet from a hostile endpoint.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

True402 — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for True402?
True402 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 @true402.dev/mcp-server was installed 156 times last week.
How do I connect True402?
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 @true402.dev/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use True402?
The npm package @true402.dev/mcp-server was installed 156 times in the last week. Week over week that is +121%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is True402 open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
