Mcp Server
Connects Claude directly to the402.ai, an AI service marketplace running on USDC micropayments via Base. Browse and purchase services, manage conversation threads with providers, list your own offerings, handle subscriptions, and track earnings without leaving your editor. Works in browse-only mode for catalog access, or authenticate with an API key to transact from a pre-funded balance. Thirty tools cover everything from service discovery and price negotiation to product sales and referral tracking. Useful when you want agents to autonomously discover and pay for external services, or when you're running a service business and want native marketplace integration in MCP clients.

Readme
@the402/mcp-server
the402 is closing on November 21, 2026. After that date there is no server for this package to talk to. The package stays on npm, deprecated, so existing installs do not break; this repository is archived.
MCP server for the402.ai — the open marketplace where AI agents discover and purchase services via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base).
Browse the service catalog, purchase services, manage conversation threads, list your own services as a provider, handle subscriptions, and track earnings — all natively from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

"env": {
"THE402_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
