Using x402 Universal Payer in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-07-28).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins x402 Universal Payer’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Environment variables

MCP_BRIDGE_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY

secret

0x-prefixed 32-byte hex private key that funds USDC payments on EVM chains (Base, Arbitrum, …). At least one of the EVM/SVM keys is required. Treat like cash — use a dedicated low-balance wallet.

MCP_BRIDGE_SVM_PRIVATE_KEY

secret

Solana secret key that funds USDC payments: base58 64-byte secret key (Phantom / solana-keygen format) or a JSON array of 64 integers. At least one of the EVM/SVM keys is required. Treat like cash.

MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_PRICE_PER_CALL_ATOMIC

Per-call spending cap in atomic units (USDC has 6 decimals). Payments above this abort with a clear reason.

MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_TOTAL_ATOMIC

Cumulative session spending ceiling in atomic units. Once total spend would exceed it, further payments abort until restart.

MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOWED_PAYTO

Comma-separated payee allowlist. When set, any payment whose payTo address is not listed is refused.

MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS

Comma-separated hostname allowlist for outbound paid requests. When set, any other host is refused before a request is signed.

MCP_BRIDGE_ALLOW_HTTP

Set to 1 to allow http:// targets (local development only). https is enforced otherwise.

MCP_BRIDGE_DISCOVER_LIMIT

Max number of x402 Bazaar resources to register as dynamic tools at startup. Set 0 to disable discovery.

MCP_BRIDGE_BAZAAR_URL

x402 Bazaar discovery endpoint. Override to point at a self-hosted or alternative bazaar.

MCP_BRIDGE_BATCH_DEPOSIT_MULTIPLIER

How many request-amounts to deposit at once when opening an EVM batch-settlement channel.

MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_DEPOSIT_ATOMIC

Hard cap in atomic units on a single batch-settlement channel deposit or top-up.

X402_MCP_BRIDGE_CHANNELS_DIR

Directory for persisted batch-settlement channel state (survives client restarts).

RPC_URL_8453

Per-chain RPC override, one variable per chain id (RPC_URL_<chainId>, e.g. RPC_URL_8453 for Base). Defaults to viem's public RPC for that chain.

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 959,933). Verify it yourself.
