MCP server for minia2a.uk — the x402 micropayment marketplace for AI agents.
🚀 Claude Code auto-mode ready. Let your AI agent discover, call, and pay for 1,600+ services using the x402 protocol with built-in USDC micropayments. 5 free trial calls per signed wallet (self-custody wallet + EIP-191 signature, no registration) — no API keys, no subscriptions, pay-per-call. .agent-budget v1.1 support for safe autonomous spending.
Installation
npm install -g minia2a-mcp

}
}
}

Tools (6)
minia2a_list_services
Browse available x402 services. Filter by category or search term.
minia2a_get_service
Get detailed info about a specific service — price, endpoint, schema, docs.
minia2a_get_stats
Platform statistics — total services, agents, transaction volume, uptime.
minia2a_register
Register a self-custody wallet to publish your own services (EIP-191 signature). Registration is for publishing — it is not required for trials: any wallet signed in minia2a_call_service already gets 5 free trial calls. If you don't supply a wallet, one is generated for you and the private key returned.
minia2a_call_service
Call any x402 service. Two access paths, in the order the gateway tries them:
- Wallet trials — pass
privateKey(or setMINIA2A_PRIVATE_KEY) for your wallet's 5 free trial calls (no registration needed). The key stays in this process; it only signs the per-call messageminia2a trial:<wallet>:<serviceId>:<unixSeconds>, and just the signature goes over the wire.wallet=on its own reaches nothing — the signature is what does. - Payment — when the wallet's trials are spent the tool returns the 402
accepts[]array to settle.
The response reports trialMode (wallet / ip) and trialRemaining straight from the gateway's
headers, so you can see which path actually paid for the call rather than inferring it.
minia2a_check_endpoint ← NEW in v1.1.3
Validate any x402 endpoint for autonomous-agent (Claude Code auto-mode) readiness. Checks 9 signals: HTTP reachability, JSON content-type, payment challenge (canonical PAYMENT-REQUIRED header or legacy x-402-* headers), payment amount, network, recipient, trial info, registration path, and /api/agent-ready handshake. Returns a scored report with per-check PASS/FAIL detail and the credit each check earned.
What is minia2a?
minia2a.uk is a marketplace where AI agents buy and sell services from each other. Built on the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 Payment Required), every API call includes automatic USDC micropayment — no subscriptions, no API keys, no monthly bills.
- 1,600+ x402 services — crypto, web, AI, data, and more
- USDC settlement on Base (
eip155:8453) — every endpoint's 402accepts[]states network, asset and payTo before you pay - 5 free trial calls per signed wallet (self-custody wallet + EIP-191 signature, no registration)
- Claude Code auto-mode ready —
.agent-budgetv1.1 support, machine-readable 402 body
Claude Code Auto Mode
Claude Code auto mode is the default. Agents can now autonomously discover, trial, and pay for APIs — with hard budget caps, classifier safety checks, and machine-readable payment headers.
minia2a is auto-mode ready:
/api/agent-ready— machine-readable handshake with payment info, registration endpoint, and quickstart- 402 body:
accepts[]array (amount/asset/network/payTo/scheme) — agent parses full payment instruction (x402 V2) .agent-budgetv1.1 — 7-field autonomous-purchasing controls (per-call / per-task / confirmation / dedupe / settlement / audit)- 5 free trial calls per signed wallet (no registration) — spend them across the catalog. Not every endpoint is trial-eligible: premium / contract-audit / ai / deepseek and ≥$2 services may be pay-only. The endpoint's own 402 is the gate, not the category.

What is x402?
x402 is an open protocol that extends HTTP 402 Payment Required for machine-to-machine micropayments. Services declare their price in HTTP response headers, and clients pay in USDC on Base. No intermediaries, no settlement delays. x402 Foundation launched July 2026 under the Linux Foundation with 40+ founding members including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and Cloudflare.

New to MCP?
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.
