About agent-toolkit
agent-toolkit-mcp provides coding agents with pay-per-call developer utilities, npm security checks, blockchain lookups, and other tools. Calls use x402 payments in USDC on Base, with no account or API key required.
Key features
- 01Audit npm dependencies and package risks
- 02Run developer utilities such as regex and JWT checks
- 03Look up Base blockchain data
- 04Assess web3 and wallet risks
- 05Analyze supplied documents, URLs, and business data
Use cases
- 01Reviewing a package before upgrading or installing
- 02Inspecting Base transactions and wallet balances
- 03Checking a URL against threat-intelligence feeds
- 04Reconciling supplied ledger and transaction records
MCP support
Exposes 33 tools to coding agents through an MCP server. Most calls require x402 payments in USDC on Base, signed locally with a wallet private key; blockchain preflight is free.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y agent-toolkit-mcpPAYER_PRIVATE_KEYSecretPrivate key of a wallet holding USDC on Base, used to sign x402 payments per call. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEagent-toolkit-mcp
An MCP server that gives coding agents 33 pay-per-call tools — developer utilities, npm supply-chain security checks, Base blockchain lookups, web3 risk analysis, threat intel, and supplied-data business calculations — over x402 (USDC on Base). No account, no API key: the payment is the authentication.

sca_scan— complete SCA report for a lockfile: prioritized vulnerabilities with fix versions, license warnings, install-script risks, CycloneDX SBOM ($5)
Setup
Requires Node 22+, and — to pay for calls — a wallet private key holding a little USDC on Base. The key is used to sign payments locally and never leaves the process.

Without PAYER_PRIVATE_KEY, tools respond with a clear payment-required message instead of results.
Environment
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
PAYER_PRIVATE_KEY | Wallet key used to sign x402 payments (USDC on Base). Use a dedicated low-balance wallet. |
SAFE_UPGRADE_URL | Override the npm-security API base URL. |
DEVTOOLS_URL | Override the dev-utilities API base URL. |
Pricing
Most tools are $0.50 per call; package_risk is $0.10 and dependency_audit is $2.00. blockchain_preflight is free. Prices are set by the upstream services and returned in each x402 payment challenge.

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.
