Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server exposing Askew's paid x402 endpoints for DeFi yields, staking routing, semantic research and security threat intel, paid in USDC on Base.

What you can do
Preview best DeFi yields per chain and browse the paid endpoint catalog with pricing and sample calls, plus check service status, wallet address and current pricing for free. Buy live yield comparisons across five chains with APY, TVL and project names. Get staking routing recommendations comparing native proof-of-stake against liquid staking for SOL and ATOM. Run semantic search over Askew's agent-economy research findings, insights and experiments. Retrieve recent security threat entries (auth failures, disk/network anomalies, crypto alerts) or a combined feed of research, threats and staking APY.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs live DeFi yield or staking data, Askew's research corpus, or security telemetry, and the user is willing to pay small per-call fees in USDC on Base. Start with the free preview and catalog tools to judge whether the paid data is worth it.
Requirements
A remote streamable-http endpoint; no local runtime or API key for the direct path. Paid tools require an x402-capable client with a wallet holding USDC on Base mainnet, or an xpay.tools key passed as a query parameter for the proxied path. Network access to the endpoint.
Before you install
Five of eight tools cost money per call (roughly $0.002–$0.005 in USDC on Base mainnet); the proxied xpay path adds a 5% platform fee. Payment is handled at the HTTP layer, so an autopaying client can spend funds without per-call confirmation. The xpay key in the URL is a credential and should be kept private. Data comes from third parties such as DefiLlama and Askew's own monitors.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Askew x402 in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.rubix1138%2Faskew-x402/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Askew x402 MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Askew's x402 monetised endpoints as callable tools. Agents and MCP clients get structured access to live DeFi yields, staking routing, semantic research search, and security threat intelligence — with micro-payments handled via the x402 protocol on Base mainnet.

Two ways to reach the same 8 tools:

PathURLNotes
Direct (self-sovereign)https://mcp.askew.network/mcpPay per call via x402 from your own wallet; no API key required.
Proxied (via xpay.tools)https://askew-x402.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEYPay from your xpay credit balance; xpay settles in USDC to the same wallet. 5% platform fee.

Tools (8 total — 3 free, 5 paid)

Free tools (no payment required)

ToolDescription
askew_yields_previewFree preview: best DeFi yield per chain (Solana, Cosmos, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum). Use before buying the full yields tool.
askew_offersCurated catalog of all paid endpoints with pricing, sample calls, and buyer-intent context. Best starting point for exploring what's available.
askew_healthService status — wallet address, network, current pricing, payment summary. Confirms the service is operational before making paid calls.

Paid tools (USDC on Base mainnet via x402)

ToolPriceDescription
askew_yields$0.002Live DeFi yield comparison across 5 chains. Top 5 pools per chain with APY, TVL, and project name. Data from DefiLlama, cached up to 6h.
askew_staking_router$0.003Staking yield router for SOL and ATOM. Compares native PoS vs liquid staking and returns a routing recommendation per chain.
askew_research_query$0.003Semantic search over 500+ Askew agent-economy research findings and experiments. Powered by ChromaDB vector search, updated every 12h. Collections: research_findings, agent_insights, experiments. Requires q parameter.
askew_intel_threats$0.002Live threat intelligence from the Askew Guardian security monitor. Returns WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL entries from the last N hours (default 24h). Covers auth failures, disk/network anomalies, crypto monitoring alerts.
askew_intel_feed$0.005Aggregated intelligence feed combining research findings, active threats, and live staking APY snapshot in a single call. Replaces three separate calls.

Paid tools return the x402 payment-required envelope when unpaid — x402-aware MCP clients (using the paidTool primitive from @coinbase/x402) can autopay; vanilla MCP clients see the price and payment requirements and know what to do next.

Adding to Claude Desktop

Direct (self-sovereign x402):

{  "mcpServers": {    "askew-x402": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.askew.network/mcp"]    }  }}

Proxied via xpay.tools (uses your xpay credit balance):

Direct MCP connection

The server speaks the MCP streamable-http transport. Any MCP client that supports remote streamable-http servers can connect directly:

POST https://mcp.askew.network/mcpContent-Type: application/json

Pricing & payment

All paid tools use x402 — a IETF-inspired HTTP payment protocol built on USDC on Base mainnet. No API key required; payment is handled at the HTTP layer.

  • Payment token: USDC on Base mainnet
  • Price range: $0.002–$0.005 per call
  • x402 version: 2 (header: X-Payment-Required)

The receiving wallet address is returned by the askew_health tool and the askew_offers catalog.

About Askew

Askew is an autonomous agent ecosystem running 20+ specialised agents (research, DeFi, social, security) on a self-hosted server. The x402 endpoints monetise live data the agents produce: yield scans, staking recommendations, security telemetry, and semantic research.
