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.

  • 1,000+ APIs exposed for AI agents via Orbis
  • x402 USDC micropayments on Base; about $0.01 per call, no signup emphasized
  • Stdio npm package @orbisapi/mcp v1.0.3
  • Optional ORBIS_KEY from orbisapi.com
  • GitHub: OrbisAPI/orbis-mcp

What it does

Run the local Orbis MCP npm package so your agent calls 1,000+ APIs with ~$0.01 USDC per call and optional ORBIS_KEY.

Who is it for?

Best when you want stdio MCP in the IDE and micropayment API access without a hosted-only setup.

Skip if: Skip if you require enterprise API contracts, zero crypto payments, or only the hosted marketplace SSE remote.

What you get

After installing @orbisapi/mcp and configuring MCP stdio, your agent pays per call in USDC and reaches Orbis’s API catalog locally.

  • Local MCP bridge to 1,000+ Orbis APIs
  • Per-call USDC billing without traditional API signup emphasis
  • Agent-ready stdio integration in IDE workflows

By the numbers

  • 1,000+ APIs stated in server description

MCP server for Orbis — gives Claude, Cursor, and any AI agent access to 2,800+ APIs with x402 USDC micropayments on Base. $0.01/call. No signup.


What this does

This MCP server connects your AI agent to the Orbis API marketplace. Your agent can:

  • Browse 2,800+ APIs across data, AI, finance, and utilities
  • Call any API directly — payment handled automatically via x402 on Base
  • No API keys — agents pay per call in USDC, no accounts needed

Quickstart

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orbis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@orbisapi/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor

Add to Cursor settings → MCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orbis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@orbisapi/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Any MCP-compatible agent

npx @orbisapi/mcp

Available Tools

Tool Description
browse_apis Search and list available APIs on Orbis
call_api Call any API — x402 payment handled automatically
register_agent Register your agent wallet for tracking
subscribe_to_api Subscribe to an API for discounted access

How payments work

Orbis uses the x402 protocol — an open HTTP payment standard built on Base. When your agent calls an API:

  1. Orbis returns a 402 Payment Required response with payment details
  2. The MCP server handles the USDC payment on Base automatically
  3. 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.


Environment Variables
