Pay MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 744 installs a week from npm.
x402 pay tools for MCP clients, plus a `buy` command: read the offer, consent, pay. Starknet, Base.
Today is the operative word: we check Pay 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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
STARKNET_RPC_URL (Starknet RPC endpoint. Optional. The buy command contacts no node unless you name one (a Starknet mainnet node; the chain it serves must then be the offer's). The chain-reading tools default to a public node not operated by Vauban), PAY_MCP_SEPOLIA_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS (Starknet Sepolia account address for make_payment signer mode. Optional; without it make_payment uses the sponsored mode, which calls the sponsor over the network and settles a real Sepolia transfer it funds), PAY_MCP_SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY (Private key for that account. Optional; never required to try the tools), PAY_MCP_STANDARD_X402_PAYEES (Standard x402 path (Starknet): comma-separated payTo addresses pay_for_resource may pay. Empty pays nobody (fail closed). * pays any payee: avoid it), PAY_MCP_STANDARD_X402_MAX_WEI (Standard x402 path: cap on one payment in atomic units (default 0.1 STRK)), PAY_MCP_STANDARD_X402_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS (Standard x402 path: a signer of its own (falls back to PAY_MCP_SEPOLIA_*)), PAY_MCP_STANDARD_X402_PRIVATE_KEY (Private key for that account. Optional), PAY_MCP_EVM_KEYSTORE_PATH (EVM path: path to your Web3 Secret Storage v3 keystore. Never a key in the environment), PAY_MCP_EVM_PASSWORD_PATH (EVM path: path to the file holding that keystore's password), PAY_MCP_EVM_NETWORKS (EVM path: comma-separated CAIP-2 networks pay_for_resource may pay on, e.g. eip155:84532. Empty pays nothing (fail closed)), PAY_MCP_EVM_PAYEES (EVM path: comma-separated payTo addresses pay_for_resource may pay. Empty pays nobody (fail closed). * pays any payee, up to the session cap: avoid it), PAY_MCP_EVM_MAX_PER_PAYMENT (EVM path: cap on one payment, in atomic units of the asset (1000000 = 1 USDC). No default: unset refuses), PAY_MCP_EVM_MAX_PER_SESSION (EVM path: cap on the total value of the signed authorizations this process hands over, per network and asset, never credited back. No default: unset refuses), PAY_MCP_EVM_I_ACCEPT_MAINNET_SPEND (EVM path: comma-separated CAIP-2 value networks you consent to spend real money on, each named (e.g. eip155:8453). Required for any network other than Base Sepolia and Ethereum Sepolia), PAY_MCP_EVM_ASSETS (EVM path: comma-separated <CAIP-2>/<token address> entries payable. Default: the network's known USDC only).
