An MCP server that exposes 8 Solana / crypto / macro tools to any MCP-aware
client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.). Seven of the tools
are gated behind the **x402** payment protocol — agents auto-pay in USDC on
Base, $0.005 – $0.25 per tool call. One tool is free (educational).
> The server is a **forward-only relay**: when an agent calls a paid tool
> without an `X-PAYMENT` header, we surface the upstream `HTTP 402` +
> accept-list verbatim so the agent's own wallet signs the payment. We
> never custody caller funds.
**Free + MIT-licensed.** Fork it, ship your own, no strings.

## Hosted Plans (MCPize)
Prefer not to self-host? A managed listing is live on MCPize with gateway
proxying, rate limiting, API-key auth, and consolidated billing:
**[mcpize.com/mcp/cipher-x402-mcp](https://mcpize.com/mcp/cipher-x402-mcp)**
| Plan | Price | Requests / mo | Rate limit | Includes |
|------|-------|---------------|------------|----------|
| Free | $0 | 100 | 10 / min | Free tools + `solana_wallet_scan` |
| Starter | $9 | 1,000 | 60 / min | 4 read-only tools (scan, HIBP, repo health, FRED) |
| Pro (recommended) | $29 | 5,000 | 120 / min | All 8 tools, priority GitHub support |
| Team | $99 | 25,000 | 600 / min | All 8 tools + custom upstream override, 24h response SLA |
Pay-as-you-go via MCPize's gateway. Self-host is still free (this repo, MIT).

## Tools
| Tool | Price (USDC, Base) | Upstream |
|------|--------------------|----------|
| `solana_wallet_scan(address)` | $0.01 | `cipher-scan-three.vercel.app` |
| `check_password_breach(sha1_prefix)` | $0.005 | `cipher-pwned.vercel.app` |
| `jito_tip_calculator(pool_depth, expected_profit, slot_prob)` | $0.01 | `cipher-jito-tip.vercel.app` |
| `github_repo_health(owner, repo)` | $0.02 | `cipher-repo-health.vercel.app` |
| `fred_macro_series(series_id)` | $0.005 | `cipher-fred.vercel.app` |
| `check_drift_exposure(wallet)` | $0.01 | `cipher-drift-exposure.vercel.app` |
| `solana_wallet_security_audit_rules()` | **free** | local (v1.1.0 ruleset) |
| `get_premium_cipher_chapter(slug)` | $0.25 | `cipher-x402.vercel.app` |
Base network, USDC asset `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`. The
current x402 payout recipient is exposed via the root `/` JSON manifest at
runtime — agents discover it automatically, you don't configure it by hand.
## Install (Claude Desktop)
Add this to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
(macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cipher-x402": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cipher-x402-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop. The 8 tools show up in the tool tray.
## Install (Cursor / Cline / Continue)
Any MCP-over-stdio client works the same way — the launcher is
`npx -y cipher-x402-mcp`.
## Install (Smithery)
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install cipher-x402-mcp --client claude
```
## Remote HTTP transport
Deployed at **https://cipher-x402-mcp.vercel.app/mcp** (streamable HTTP).
Probe the manifest at the root URL.
## How payment works
1. Agent calls (e.g.) `solana_wallet_scan({ "address": "..." })` without
a payment.
2. Server returns a structured result starting with
`HTTP 402 Payment Required — upstream returned an x402 accept-list.`
followed by the JSON accept-list (price, network, payTo, asset, etc.).
3. Agent's wallet signs an EIP-3009 authorization for the advertised
`maxAmountRequired`.
4. Agent re-invokes the same tool with
`{ "address": "...", "_payment": "<base64-signed-header>" }`.
5. Server forwards the `X-PAYMENT` header upstream, upstream's facilitator
verifies + settles on Base, and the content is returned to the agent.
The server itself is stateless — no API keys, no user session, no funds.

## 🏃 Run it yourself
### Prerequisites
- **Node.js 20+** (22 recommended)
- **npm 10+**
- A Vercel account (free tier) if you want to deploy the HTTP transport
- No API keys required for local stdio use — the server is a pass-through
to public upstream endpoints
### Clone + build
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cryptomotifs/cipher-x402-mcp
cd cipher-x402-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm run smoke # tool-registry smoke test
npm start # stdio transport
npm run start:http # HTTP transport on :8080
```
### Configure your own upstream endpoints (optional)
All upstream base URLs are overridable via env — useful if you fork the
upstream endpoints to your own Vercel project and want the MCP server to
route to them:
```bash
CIPHER_SCAN_API_URL=https://your-scan.example.com \
CIPHER_PWNED_URL=https://your-pwned.example.com \
CIPHER_JITO_TIP_URL=https://your-jito.example.com \
CIPHER_REPO_HEALTH_URL=https://your-repo-health.example.com \
CIPHER_FRED_URL=https://your-fred.example.com \
CIPHER_DRIFT_URL=https://your-drift.example.com \
CIPHER_X402_URL=https://your-x402.example.com \
npx cipher-x402-mcp
```
### Deploy to Vercel
```bash
vercel link
vercel --prod
```
The `/mcp` route serves MCP JSON-RPC messages; `/` serves a lightweight
JSON manifest used by registries.
