MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools for safe web reading, search, text scanning, cited answers, claim verification, and token checks. Calls use x402 payments in USDC on Base.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y axongate-mcpAXONGATE_PRIVATE_KEYSecretPrivate key of a dedicated wallet holding a few dollars of USDC on Base (no ETH needed).AXONGATE_MAX_SPEND_USDCTotal spend cap for the server process, in USDC (default 0.50).Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
