README

xpay MCP Server

980+ AI tools available as MCP servers. Pay $0.01/call in USDC via the x402 protocol. One API key, 30+ providers — no individual provider accounts or subscriptions needed.

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

2. Add to your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf — add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xpay": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http "xpay" "https://mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from step 1.

3. Use tools

Your AI assistant will automatically discover all available tools. Each tool call costs $0.01 USDC, deducted from your wallet balance.

Collection Servers

Instead of connecting to all 980+ tools, you can connect to a focused collection:

Collection	Endpoint	Tools	Providers
All Tools	`https://mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	980+	All 30+
Lead Generation	`https://lead-gen.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	~50	Hunter, Apollo, Tomba, Sixtyfour, Fiber, Exa, Nyne
Competitive Intel	`https://compete.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	~40	Brand.dev, Coresignal, Keywords Everywhere, Exa, Firecrawl, Shofo
Content Research	`https://content.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	~40	Perplexity, Tavily, Semantic Scholar, FLUX, Ideogram, Recraft
Web Scraping	`https://scraping.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	~35	Firecrawl, Bright Data, Jina, Olostep, ScrapeGraph, Notte

Marketing	`https://marketing.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY`	~30	Keywords Everywhere, Brand.dev, Exa, Tavily, Ideogram

How It Works

Get a key — Sign up at app.xpay.sh and add USDC credits
Connect — Add the endpoint URL (with your key) to any MCP client
Call tools — Your AI assistant discovers and calls tools naturally
Auto-deduct — Each call costs $0.01 USDC, deducted from your wallet balance

No individual provider API keys. No separate accounts. One key for 30+ providers.

Requirements

API key from app.xpay.sh
USDC credits in your xpay wallet (add via Coinbase)
MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code CLI, Cline, etc.

How x402 Works

x402 is an open protocol for machine-to-machine payments using HTTP 402 Payment Required. When a tool call requires payment:

Server responds with 402 Payment Required + a payment invoice
Client signs a USDC payment on Base blockchain
Server verifies payment and executes the tool
Settlement is instant, non-custodial, and peer-to-peer
