Agent X402 Paywall MCP
Agent x402 Paywall MCP is a MCP server that integrates Coinbase x402 HTTP 402 pay-per-call payments so agents can access metered APIs without a Stripe merchant setup.
About
Agent x402 Paywall MCP exposes Coinbase’s x402 pattern—HTTP 402 Payment Required—through Model Context Protocol so coding agents can complete paid API calls without you standing up a classic Stripe checkout first. developers shipping agent-callable tools, micro-APIs, or research endpoints can gate usage with per-request payment semantics that machines understand, which matters when your customer is another agent rather than a browser session. The server runs over stdio from the published PyPI package and slots into Claude Code, Cursor, or other MCP clients as a payment integration layer. It does not replace legal, tax, or treasury operations; it focuses on the technical handshake between an agent client and a 402-gated resource. Use it when you are building or validating monetized agent access paths, especially if x402 fits your stack better than card-on-file flows aimed at humans.

What it does
Let agents pay for metered API calls via Coinbase x402 (HTTP 402) without setting up a full Stripe merchant flow.
Who is it for?
Best when you're creating agent-consumable paid APIs or internal tools and want x402-style per-request payment from MCP-enabled coding agents.
Skip if: Products that only need standard Stripe Checkout for human subscribers with no HTTP 402 or agent payment flow.
What you get
Your agent can satisfy HTTP 402 payment requirements on gated endpoints through MCP, enabling per-call monetization aligned with x402 rather than full Stripe onboarding.
