Pricing
$0.01 per call. No signup, no API keys, no monthly fees.
Payment happens automatically via x402 — an open micropayment protocol. Your MCP client signs a USDC transfer on Base mainnet for each call. You need:
- An EVM wallet private key (set as
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY) - A small USDC balance on Base mainnet (~$1 covers 100 calls)
That's it. No accounts, no rate limits, no billing pages.
How It Works
The pip install package is a thin MCP stdio server. It proxies your tool calls to a hosted backend, automatically handling x402 payment signing. Data comes from Yahoo Finance, FRED, SEC EDGAR, and CoinGecko.
Your AI agent → findata-mcp (local stdio) → Backend (Railway) → Data providers
signs x402 payment verifies payment

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
