About Regex Generator X402
Regex Generator X402 is an MCP and HTTP API for testing regular expressions against strings. It is intended for developers and AI agents, returning matches, capture groups, positions, and a plain-English explanation, with calls paid through x402 in USDC on Base.
Key features
- 01Test patterns against input strings
- 02Return matches, groups, and positions
- 03Explain patterns in plain English
- 04Pay per call with x402 and USDC
Use cases
- 01Check a pattern before production deployment
- 02Debug why a pattern misses text
- 03Extract structured data from strings
MCP support
Exposes the `text_test_regex` tool to MCP clients through a remote endpoint. Calls use x402 micropayments in USDC on Base.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMERegex Tester API
Test regex patterns against strings. Get all matches, capture groups, positions, and plain-English pattern explanations. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.
Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.
Quickstart -- MCP
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"regex-generator": {
"url": "https://regex-generator.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)
curl -X POST "https://regex-generator.api.klymax402.com/api/test" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"pattern":"...","testStrings":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body
Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
Tools
| Tool | Method | Path | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
text_test_regex | POST | /api/test | $0.003 | Test a regex pattern against input strings |
text_test_regex
Use this when you need to test a regular expression against one or more strings. Returns all matches, capture groups, positions, and a human-readable explanation of the pattern.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pattern | string | yes | Regular expression pattern (without delimiters) |
flags | string | no | Regex flags: g, i, m, s, u (default: g) |
testStrings | array | yes | Array of strings to test against the pattern |
Example response:
{"pattern":"\d{3}-\d{4}","flags":"g","explanation":"Matches 3 digits, a hyphen, then 4 digits","results":[{"input":"Call 555-1234","matched":true,"matches":[{"value":"555-1234","index":5,"groups":[]}]}],"totalMatches":1}
When to use: validating regex patterns before deploying them in code, debugging why a pattern fails to match, or extracting structured data from text. Use this BEFORE writing complex regex into production code.
Not for: text classification (use text_classify_content), PII detection (use privacy_detect_pii), text comparison (use text_compare_diff).
Example agent prompts
- "Test a regular expression against one or more strings"

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.
