402 Index MCP Server

Search 15,000+ paid API endpoints across L402, x402, and MPP protocols with real-time health monitoring.

The 402 Index is the world's largest directory of paid API endpoints for AI agents. This MCP server gives your agent access to search, filter, and evaluate paid APIs before spending money.

Tools

Token-Optimized Defaults (v0.2.0)

Responses are compact by default to minimize token usage in agent workflows:

• search_services returns 10 results with 5 fields (name, url, protocol, price_sats, health_status) by default
  • fields — Comma-separated field names to return, or * for all 20 fields
  • format — json (default) or csv for tabular output (~29% fewer tokens)
  • limit — Results per page (default 10, max 200)
• list_categories returns a flat [{name, count}] array by default
  • summary — true (default) for compact output, false for full protocol breakdown

What Can Your Agent Discover?
