Details
From the project READMEminia2a-x402
The x402-named entry point to the minia2a.uk MCP server.
This package contains no server code. It is a thin alias: it depends on
minia2a-mcp, the canonical package,
and imports it. Same tools, same version, one source of truth.
npx minia2a-x402
is equivalent to
npx minia2a-mcp
Why the alias exists
The official MCP registry pins a server record's name to the mcpName field of the
npm package that backs it. Publishing a record named uk.minia2a/minia2a-x402 while
pointing at minia2a-mcp fails validation:
NPM package ownership validation failed.
Expected mcpName 'uk.minia2a/minia2a-x402', got 'uk.minia2a/minia2a-mcp'
minia2a-mcp's mcpName is already claimed by the existing record
uk.minia2a/minia2a-mcp. Changing it would break that record and everything linking
to it, so the second name is an addition, not a rename.
If you only want the server, install minia2a-mcp.
What the server does
minia2a.uk is a pay-per-call API marketplace for AI agents: ~1,700 endpoints, settled in USDC on Base over x402. Every signed wallet gets 5 free trial calls — no registration, no account, no API key.
Tools exposed over stdio:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
minia2a_list_services | Browse the catalog by category or search text |
minia2a_get_service | Price, endpoint, input schema for one service |
minia2a_call_service | Call a service; handles the HTTP 402 payment flow |
minia2a_register | Register a self-custody wallet for publishing (trials need no registration) |
minia2a_check_endpoint | Validate any x402 endpoint for agent auto-mode readiness |
minia2a_get_stats | Live platform statistics |

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.
