What is the HPP X402 MCP Bridge MCP server?

HPP X402 MCP Bridge MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on HPP X402 MCP Bridge directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP bridge for autonomous x402 payments in HPP USDC.e — discover and pay for services per call.

What you get

Needs Node 20+. On a headless box (no OS keychain) use setup --print-key — see the manual.

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @hpp-io/x402-mcp-bridge on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What the assistant can call

Once HPP X402 MCP Bridge is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • wallet_address — report your wallet address (to fund it)
  • hpp_discover — list/search the curated HPP directory (read-only)
  • hpp_describe — one service's input args — schema + example (read-only)
  • hpp_call — call a discovered service (HTTP/MCP/A2A); pays via your wallet
  • x402_http_call — pay + call any x402 HTTP endpoint
  • pay_a2a_agent — pay + message another A2A agent

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: DELEGATE_PRIVATE_KEY, RESOURCE_SERVER_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the hpp x402 mcp bridge mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. HPP X402 MCP Bridge's toolset — wallet_address, hpp_discover, hpp_describe and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by hpp-io; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
