Xenarch tools (4, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
xenarch_check_gateCheck if a URL or domain has an x402 payment gate. Returns gate status, accepted payment requirements (price, asset, network), and the seller wallet. Use this before paying to confirm pricing, when a URL returns HTTP 402 Payment Required, or when a user asks whether content is paywalled.
xenarch_get_historyList past USDC micropayments made by this wallet through Xenarch. Returns transaction hashes, URLs, domains, amounts in USD, timestamps, total spend, and payment count. Optionally filter by domain. Use this to audit spending, check if you already paid for a resource, or track agent expenditure.
xenarch_paywrite actionPay an x402-gated URL with USDC on Base L2 and return the gated content. Signs an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization, settles on-chain, then re-fetches the resource with proof of payment. Returns the on-chain tx_hash, seller wallet, and the response body. Settles directly to the seller wallet — no Xenarch contract in the money flow, no custodial balance. The agent wallet only ever holds USDC; no E
xenarch_wallet_statusShow the agent's local payment wallet: its address, USDC balance on Base, and whether it's funded. Use this to find the address the user needs to top up with USDC, or to check the balance before paying. This is the wallet that signs payments — separate from the wallet used to sign in to the dashboard.

Xenarch — x402 MCP server for AI agent payments
Xenarch is a non-custodial x402 MCP server. AI agents — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, CrewAI — pay for HTTP 402—gated APIs and content with USDC micropayments on Base L2. No API keys, no subscriptions, no credit card on file. The agent wallet never needs ETH; USDC is the only token it ever holds. Payments settle on-chain: agent wallet → publisher wallet, direct. 0% Xenarch fee — there's no Xenarch contract in the money flow.
What makes Xenarch different
How it works
1. Discover xenarch_check_gate("example.com")
→ { gated: true, accepts: [...] }
2. Pay xenarch_pay("example.com")
→ x402-fetch signs an EIP-3009 USDC transferWithAuthorization
→ Settlement goes on-chain
→ Re-fetches the resource with proof of payment
→ { tx_hash, content }No API keys. No signup. The agent wallet only ever needs USDC — no ETH, no gas coin of any kind. Xenarch never holds funds and there is no Xenarch contract between the agent and the publisher.
MCP tools
29 tools across three groups. Group 1 (discovery & payments) works with just a wallet. Groups 2 and 3 (control plane + merchant) manage your Xenarch account and need a SIWE session — run xenarch agent login once (see Account tools auth).
1. Discovery & payments — agent wallet only
2. Agent control plane — manage your spending agent (SIWE session)
Caps, scope, kill-switch, and API keys for the operator's agent. Privileged (loosening) operations require confirm: true; tightening is free.
