500+ pay-per-call web tools + skill packs for AI agents — every one tested, priced, and settled on-chain. Paid in USDC over x402 on 8 chains, or free via proof-of-work on the pure-CPU tools. Self-hostable, MCP-native, deterministic. Plus the open x402 index (Find / Route / Leaderboard).
Agent402 is an early-stage JavaScript project in the AI payments / x402 ecosystem, focused on ai-agents, algorand, arbitrum, base. It currently has 6 GitHub stars and 4 forks, and sits alongside related tools like magpie-x402, AgentFund, tael-protocol.
What makes it different: Agent402 is open-source and self-hostable — and a single integration gives a buyer three free primitives over the whole x402 ecosystem:
- Find —
/api/find?q={task}resolves a task description to the best-matching tools (route, price, schema, ready example).- Route —
POST /api/routeis the neutral Smart Order Router: rank tools across every x402 seller crawled (auto-discovered from the Coinbase CDP Bazaar), health-aware, withinclude=externalto exclude us.- Leaderboard —
GET /api/leaderboardis the public on-chain ranking of every x402 seller by Base USDC settled volume — calls served, totalUsd, unique buyers per seller. Pipeline: Bazaar →eth_getLogs→ per-call ceiling → aggregate bypayTo. Hourly snapshot.Plus the catalog — 500+ strong: 400+ tools + 100 curated skill packs (multi-tool workflows callable as MCP prompts) — all runnable yourself, plus
agent402-tollbooth— an open pay-per-crawl gate for the other side of x402.
Framework adapters (drop-in tools for the major agent stacks — auto-payment underneath):
500+ strong — 400+ ready-to-use web tools + 100 multi-tool skill packs for your AI agent, from one server. Every one tested, priced, and settled on-chain; every one earns its place. Browser rendering, web search, PDFs, images, OCR, live financial/crypto/macro data, SEC EDGAR, deterministic stats, forecasting, and options/bond pricing (Black-Scholes, YTM), compression, and 216 pure-CPU utilities. Run it yourself for free in 30 seconds (MCP or plain HTTP, no API keys, no signup), connect it to Claude/ChatGPT/any MCP client, and add your own tools in a few lines. Every tool is deterministic — no LLM in the serving path — and re-tested against its own example before every release.
Optionally, the same server can charge per call over the x402 protocol (USDC on Base, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, Stellar & Algorand, plus USDG on Robinhood Chain — 8 chains) — so the instance you self-host for free can also be a hosted, monetized one. That part is opt-in; by default everything runs free.
🟢 Hosted demo: agent402.tools · 📖 Wiki · 📦 npm · 🔌 MCP Registry
Pick whichever fits — all three are free and need no wallet:
1. Zero install — add the hosted connector to Claude (claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector):
https://agent402.tools/mcp
2. One command — run the MCP server locally (the pure-CPU tools work with no key; it pays the tiny proof-of-work for you):
npx -y agent402-mcp
# in Claude Code: claude mcp add agent402 -- npx -y agent402-mcp
3. Clone and host the whole thing (all 500+ tools as an HTTP API + MCP, free mode, no payments):
git clone https://github.com/MikeyPetrillo/Agent402 && cd Agent402
npm install
FREE_MODE=true npm start # → http://localhost:3000 (HTTP API + /mcp)
# try a tool over HTTP — no auth in free mode
curl -s -X POST localhost:3000/api/hash -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"text":"hello world","algo":"sha256"}'
4. One-click deploy to Railway (full self-hosted instance — adds optional Postgres + Redis plugins for analytics + response caching):
Boots straight from the repo's railway.toml + Dockerfile. Optional plugins are auto-detected via env: add Redis → REDIS_URL enables the upstream response cache (X-Cache: hit|miss), add Postgres → DATABASE_URL enables the public /api/analytics dashboard and the tollbooth waitlist. No env vars required to boot in free mode.
Every tool earns its place: deterministic, tested against its own example on every CI run, priced to market, settled on-chain. CI holds a 400-entry catalog floor and verifies the “500+” claim against the running catalog (
scripts/sync-count.js --check). The catalog grows only when a tool is worth calling.

Full schemas live in /openapi.json; a
machine-readable catalog is at /api/pricing
and /llms.txt. Don't know which tool you need?
/api/find?q=<task> resolves
a task description to the right tool — route, price, schema, and a ready example —
so an agent skips the token-heavy "search around to find a tool" step.
/v1) — chat, embeddings & images, pay per callPoint any OpenAI SDK at base_url = https://agent402.tools/v1 and pay per call in
USDC over x402 — no API key, no signup, no account:
| Endpoint | Price | Serves |
|---|---|---|
POST /v1/nano/chat/completions |
$0.003 | nano models — priced for high-frequency agent loops |
POST /v1/auto/chat/completions |
$0.01 | no model needed — deterministic eval-ranked routing (code / reasoning / long / general), optional quality: fast | balanced | best at the same price, decision disclosed via agent402_router |
POST /v1/chat/completions |
$0.02 | budget/mid models (gpt-4o-mini, claude haiku, gemini flash, deepseek, llama…) |
POST /v1/pro/chat/completions |
$0.10 | mid-frontier (gpt-4o, gpt-4.1, claude sonnet, gemini pro, grok) |
POST /v1/premium/chat/completions |
$0.50 | frontier (gpt-5, o3/o4, claude opus) |
POST /v1/embeddings |
$0.002 | OpenAI embeddings, batch up to 64 inputs — identical repeats are free (deterministic output, cache default-on) |
POST /v1/images/generations |
$0.08 | image generation (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) — OpenAI images wire, inline base64 out |
Streaming (stream: true), full tools/function-calling passthrough, an opt-in
prompt cache on the chat tiers (cache: true → byte-identical repeats free for
10 minutes), upstream failover chains that end in a canary-proven model, and a
free GET /v1/models listing every model with
its tier and caps. A real-money canary buys from every one of these surfaces
daily — streaming, routing disclosure, and both cache behaviors included.
Two companion tools close the loop: POST /api/route/execute ($0.01) resolves a
task description to the best catalog tool and runs it in one paid call, and
POST /api/my-usage ($0.005) returns the paying wallet's own purchase
history — no wallet parameter; the x402 payment is the identity, so nobody can
read another wallet's profile.
For jobs that span several tools — "audit a domain", "diagnose deliverability",
"work up a time-series", "peel an opaque blob" — Agent402 ships curated
skill packs: ordered, typed sequences of tool calls with a Claude-ready
prompt template. Callable as MCP prompts (prompts/list → prompts/get { name, arguments })
or plain HTTP at /api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.
A task-shaped query to search_tools returns the matching pack alongside individual tools.

Agent402 is also the open routing + ranking layer for the whole x402
ecosystem: it crawls public x402 sellers (the local catalog + an
auto-discovered set from the Coinbase CDP Bazaar,
refreshed hourly) and exposes them through three free surfaces — same logic as
/api/find: discovery primitives shouldn't cost money.
| Surface | What |
|---|---|
GET /api/find?q={task} |
Resolve a task to the best-matching tools (route, price, schema, ready example) |
POST /api/route |
Smart Order Router: { query, top, include } → ranked tools across sellers (match score, then health, then price). include=external excludes Agent402 itself |
GET /api/leaderboard |
On-chain ranking of every x402 seller by Base USDC settled volume (callsSettled, totalUsd, uniqueBuyers per seller). Pipeline: Bazaar → eth_getLogs → per-call ceiling → aggregate. Hourly snapshot |
/index |
Public HTML dashboard: every seller, tool count, network, last-fetched, rolling health |
GET /api/index |
JSON snapshot of the same data (totals, per-seller health/routable flags) |
/stellar · /algorand |
Per-chain marketplace pages: sellers and tools settling on that rail specifically |
# "I need an OCR tool — find me the cheapest healthy one anywhere on x402"
curl -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/route \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"ocr image to text","top":5}'
# "Who are the most-used x402 sellers right now? (on-chain proof, not self-reports)"
curl 'https://agent402.tools/api/leaderboard?top=25&include=external'
Health-aware: sellers whose last few crawls errored are excluded from the router (a buyer routed to a dead seller wastes money). Healthier sellers also break ties at equal match score and price, so flaky-but-cheap sellers lose to reliable ones. Brand-new sellers (no history yet) get the benefit of the doubt.
Operators get 3-rail attribution on the dashboard (/api/stats,
/__operator): USDC vs. proof-of-work vs.
heartbeat-probe traffic are counted separately — and the heartbeat rail is gated
on a POW_SECRET-signed token (not a spoofable User-Agent), so the operator
view reflects real external demand.
For API sellers: /sell is the front door —
list an existing x402-speaking API on the index for free with
POST /api/index/register (health-routed, 0%
take, self-serve, no signup), or install agent402-tollbooth to
put a pay-per-crawl gate in front of a site that isn't x402-native yet.
From code, the agent402-client npm package wraps all of this —
find() a tool, then call() it, paying automatically (a built-in proof-of-work
for free tools, your x402 wallet for paid ones), with caching and idempotent
retries:
npm install agent402-client
import { Agent402 } from "agent402-client";
const a = new Agent402(); // free tier (proof-of-work)
const out = await a.call("hash", { text: "hello world", algo: "sha256" });
If you're already on OpenAI / Anthropic / Vercel AI SDK / LangChain / LlamaIndex, skip the wiring — there's a drop-in package that turns the Agent402 catalog into native tool objects for your framework, with payment handled underneath (proof-of-work for free tools, x402+USDC when you pass an @x402/fetch):

import { agent402Tools } from "agent402-openai-tools";
const openai = new OpenAI();
const { tools, execute } = await agent402Tools({ slugs: ["extract", "hash", "render"] });
const res = await openai.chat.completions.create({ model: "gpt-4o-mini", tools, messages: [...] });
// when the model returns a tool call: await execute(call.function.name, JSON.parse(call.function.arguments));
Already a Claude/MCP user? agent402-mcp is still the better path — paste https://agent402.tools/mcp into your client. The adapters are for direct API integrations where MCP isn't available. Sources: adapters/.
OpenClaw agents: drop in skills/openclaw/agent402/SKILL.md — teaches an OpenClaw agent to find, pay (x402 USDC on Base, seven other chains accepted, or free proof-of-work), and call any of the 400 tools (or 100 packs).
A tool is just an object in a kit array. Drop this into any file in
src/tools/ (e.g. append to AGENT_TOOLS in src/tools/agent-kit.js)
and it's live — routed, schema-published, MCP-exposed, and covered by the
"every tool answers its own example" CI check:
{
route: "POST /api/reverse",
name: "Reverse text",
slug: "reverse",
category: "text",
price: "$0.001", // free via proof-of-work for pure-CPU tools
description: "Reverse a string. Example: {\"text\":\"abc\"} → {\"reversed\":\"cba\"}",
discovery: {
inputSchema: { properties: { text: { type: "string" } }, required: ["text"] },
example: { text: "abc" }, // CI calls this and checks it works
},
handler: (input) => {
if (typeof input.text !== "string") { const e = new Error('"text" required'); e.statusCode = 400; throw e; }
return { reversed: [...input.text].reverse().join("") };
},
}
That's the whole contract: handler(input) returns a JSON-serializable object
(or throws an Error with .statusCode for a 4xx). Pure-CPU tools are
automatically free-via-proof-of-work; tools that hit the network or disk stay
wallet-only. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full walkthrough.

Agents without a wallet still use every pure-CPU tool by solving a single-use sha256 proof-of-work (sub-second; the MCP servers do it automatically). Details: wiki: Paying with x402 · Paying with Compute.
