Gate402 tools (20, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
gate402_become_providerFREE. Get the exact steps to LIST your own GPU/compute as a Gate402 provider and earn per call — you keep 85%, paid out on-chain in USDC on Base (escrow-on-success). Pass your { endpointUrl, payoutWallet, model, priceUsdc } and it returns the EIP-191 message to sign with that wallet plus the ready-to-send registration request. No payment required.
gate402_best_swapBest-execution intel for a Base token: which DEX pool to trade on and the estimated price impact + total cost for a given trade size, ranked across pools with a split suggestion. Pay-per-call ($0.02).
gate402_computeNot available yet: the compute rail answers 503 (no worker connected) until a provider joins. When live: metered GPU/CPU compute for a container job, paid per-second via Gate402 over x402, with logs and a signed execution receipt. For models today, use gate402_infer.
gate402_dedupSemantic vector-cache lookup: exact-match then 0.88 cosine similarity. Returns a cache hit/miss for a query, sub-10ms. Pay-per-call ($0.001 hit / $0.003 miss).
gate402_dexLive DEX price, liquidity, and 24h volume for a Base token across its trading pairs. Pay-per-call ($0.01).
gate402_edgarLatest SEC EDGAR filings (10-K/10-Q/8-K) for a US ticker or CIK, with direct document links. Pay-per-call ($0.02).
gate402_html_to_mdFREE. Convert an HTML string you already have into clean Markdown. (To FETCH a live page instead, use gate402_scrape.) No payment required.
gate402_inferwrite actionRun open-model LLM inference (Llama 3.1 8B/70B, Qwen 2.5, Mistral) and get a completion, paid per-token via Gate402 over x402. Prepay is on prompt + max_tokens; you are billed on actual token usage with the rest credited, and get a signed usage receipt. Free tier on first runs.
gate402_json_repairFREE. Coerce malformed / LLM-mangled JSON (trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys) into valid JSON. No payment required.
gate402_launchesRadar of the freshest Base token launches (newest DEX pools), lightly pre-screened by liquidity/age/flow. Top-of-funnel discovery — pair with gate402_token_risk, gate402_momentum, gate402_best_swap. Pay-per-call ($0.02).
gate402_market_inferwrite actionRun LLM inference through the Gate402 GPU marketplace — routed to the cheapest healthy third-party provider, with escrow-on-success (you are only charged if the provider delivers). x402-native: it settles on-chain per call, so it needs an x402 payment client — the free-tier key does NOT pay the marketplace. Browse available supply/models/prices first with gate402_providers.
gate402_minifyCompress text to cut downstream LLM token spend (~40%): strips filler, collapses JSON, densifies prose. Pay-per-call ($0.005/10k tokens).
gate402_momentumFactual momentum + order-flow signal for a Base token: price trend (5m-24h), buy/sell pressure, volume trend, classified RISING/FALLING/FLAT + ACCUMULATION/DISTRIBUTION and honeypot-gated. The read, not a prediction. Pay-per-call ($0.02).
gate402_newsRecent news headlines + heuristic bull/bear sentiment for a ticker, company, or topic. Pay-per-call ($0.02).
gate402_onchainOn-chain wallet & token intelligence on Base: native ETH + ERC-20 balances, EOA/contract detection, tx count, and token metadata. Pay-per-call ($0.01).
gate402_providersFREE. Browse the Gate402 GPU marketplace: list active third-party compute/inference providers with their model, per-call price (USDC), and reliability. Use to find supply before gate402_market_infer, or to check your own listing. No payment required.
gate402_scrapeFetch any public URL, render client-side JS, strip nav/ads, and return clean LLM-ready Markdown. Pay-per-call ($0.002) via Gate402; free tier on first runs.
gate402_scrape_stealthHardened headless fetch for JS-heavy or lightly bot-protected pages. Use when gate402_scrape is blocked or returns little content. Pay-per-call ($0.05).
gate402_token_countFREE. Estimate the token count of a string (cl100k/o200k tokenizer). Use to budget context windows. No payment required.
gate402_token_riskRug/tradeability risk VERDICT for a Base token: a 0-100 score and SAFE/CAUTION/AVOID from liquidity depth, a live honeypot/sell-tax sim, holder concentration, DEX diversity, and pool age. The pre-trade safety check. Pay-per-call ($0.03).

What the publisher says
From the Gate402 repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
gate402-mcp
MCP server for Gate402 — pay-per-call agent APIs over HTTP 402 (x402 / USDC on Base). Gives any MCP client a full toolkit with no signup and a free tier on first runs — GPU/CPU compute, open-model LLM inference, a GPU marketplace, a complete Base trading loop (discover → vet → read → execute), and web tools:
…plus three free tools that run locally in this process (pure compute — no payment, no key, no network):
GPU marketplace
Gate402 also routes to third-party GPU/compute providers with escrow-on-success — the buyer is charged only if the provider delivers. Providers keep 85% of each call, paid out on-chain in USDC on Base.
How billing works
On first use the server self-claims a free-credit API key from Gate402 and caches it at ~/.gate402-mcp/key.json. Calls draw down that credit. When it runs out, tools return a top-up link instead of failing. To skip the free tier, set GATE402APIKEY to a funded account (top up).
The payment is the auth — there are no accounts to create.
Install
