io.github.OrbisAPI/orbis-mcp is a MCP server that provides 1,000+ agent-callable APIs via stdio with x402 USDC micropayments near $0.01 per call on Base.
About
io.github.OrbisAPI/orbis-mcp is a stdio Model Context Protocol server published as @orbisapi/mcp, giving AI coding agents programmatic access to more than one thousand APIs through Orbis with x402 USDC micropayments on Base at roughly one cent per call. developers who prefer a local MCP entry over hosted remotes can install the npm package, optionally set ORBIS_KEY, and register the server in Claude Code or Cursor alongside their repo work. The description highlights no signup friction for getting started with paid calls, which suits rapid prototyping of agent features that need external data or actions. Placement is Build integrations because you adopt it when composing agent capabilities, not when operating production monitors. Pair it with wallet funding on Base; it is not a replacement for vetting API quality or caching responses in your app.

How payments work
Orbis uses the x402 protocol — an open HTTP payment standard built on Base. When your agent calls an API:
- Orbis returns a
402 Payment Requiredresponse with payment details - The MCP server handles the USDC payment on Base automatically
- The API call completes — total cost: $0.01
No wallets to configure for browsing. To make paid calls, provide your Base wallet via ORBIS_KEY.
