k402-mcp 0.1.1

MCP server for the k402 agent-payable API catalog on Kaspa — text tools, chain data, and GPU inference, paid per call in KAS with no account or API key

k402-mcp — pay-per-call APIs for AI agents, settled in Kaspa

An MCP server that gives any agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, agent SDKs) a catalog of agent-payable APIs: text tools (summarize, schema-guaranteed extraction, classify, rewrite), web reading, embeddings + semantic search, live Kaspa mainnet chain data, and GPU model tiers. No account, no card, no API key — the agent opens a session, gets a personal KAS deposit address, and every call meters against the prepaid balance. Prices are USD-pegged, fractions of a cent per call, settled on Kaspa L1 (sub-second, ~zero fees).

The payment loop is agent-native: an unfunded call returns instructions ("send KAS to this address, this call costs X"), so an agent can discover the service, learn how to pay, and use it autonomously — the x402 idea, on Kaspa.

Install

pip install k402-mcp

Claude Code:

claude mcp add k402 -- k402-mcp

Claude Desktop / generic MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "k402": { "command": "k402-mcp" } } }

Env (all optional): K402_GATEWAY (defaults to the public gateway), K402_SESSION (pin a funded session key), K402_STATE (where the auto-opened session persists, default ~/.k402/session.json).

Use

1. catalog — see every service and its live KAS/USD price (free)
2. open_session — get a session + personal Kaspa mainnet deposit address (free); fund it from any wallet (min 0.25 KAS — confirmed in seconds)
3. Call anything: summarize, extract, classify, rewrite, read_url, embed_text, search_index/search_query, kaspa_balance, kaspa_utxos, kaspa_tx_status, kaspa_fee_estimate, kaspa_network, generate (tiers: chat / reason / code / kaspa-expert)
4. session_status — watch the balance draw down (free)

Example, in Claude Code after claude mcp add:

"Use the k402 tools to check the current Kaspa network status and summarize https://kaspa.org"

The first call returns how-to-pay instructions; fund the deposit address it gives you and retry.

Notes & honest caveats

• Prototype. The payment rail is custodial-prepaid today (a trustless covenant-based settlement layer — the k402 protocol on Kaspa L1 — is in the works). Keep balances small: a few KAS covers thousands of calls.
• Paid tools return payment_required + instructions instead of failing opaquely.
• The gateway rate-limits per IP; prices float with KAS/USD, so catalog shows current numbers.
• Need KAS? Any exchange or wallet works — deposits are plain mainnet transfers.
