Overview

AI-generated overview

Looks up x402 sellers in a public index of paid-call reliability, giving a verdict, failure rate and evidence before an assistant pays an API in USDC on Base.

What you can do
  • Check a seller: get a verdict (avoid, caution, ok, unknown), a one-sentence recommendation and paid-call evidence for an x402 resource URL or seller domain.
  • Find reliable sellers: list sellers with zero failures across at least 30 paid calls, with domain, category, call counts, failure-rate bound and median USDC price.
  • Track index changes: see recent verdict changes, new failures, moved quotes, changed pay-to addresses, added sellers and published replies.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant is about to pay an x402 API call with USDC on Base, is retrying a request that returned HTTP 402, or must choose between candidate sellers. Also handy for checking what changed in the index before relying on an older verdict.
Requirements
Works as a remote endpoint or as a local npm package over stdio. The tools read a public index and need no account, API key or environment variables; only the URL being checked is sent.
Before you install
The verdicts are advisory and come from a third-party index, so an ok rating is not a guarantee of delivery. The server states it sends only the URL being checked, but that URL still goes to the index operator. It does not make payments itself; the actual USDC spending happens elsewhere.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open paidfor 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.sarmadahsan%2Fpaidfor/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

check_x402_seller

Check an x402 seller before paying

Call this before any x402 payment, before retrying a request that answered HTTP 402, or whenever the user is about to buy an API call with USDC on Base or names an API they intend to pay per call. Returns a verdict (avoid, caution, ok, unknown), one sentence to act on, the seller's paid-call count and failure rate with a 95% interval, listed price, modal quote and max overcharge ratio when known, and links to the seller page and raw evidence.

Parametersurlrequired

list_reliable_sellers

List reliable pay-per-call API sellers

Call this when choosing among sellers for a task, or when the user asks for a safe or reliable API. Returns sellers with zero failures across at least 30 paid calls, most-called first. For each: domain, category, paid-call count, the 95% upper bound on its failure rate, median quoted price in USDC, USDC paid to it in the last 30 days, when it was last seen, and its paidfor seller page.

Parameterslimitcategory

recent_changes

Recent changes to x402 sellers

Call this when the user asks what changed, or before relying on a verdict older than a day. Returns recent changes, newest first: verdict changes, new failures by type, moved quotes, changed pay-to addresses, sellers added or reaching 30 paid calls, published seller replies, the operator-reported series maturing or disagreeing with ours. Each change has its time, type, seller domain, seller page and type-specific details (for example the old and new quote).

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
