Prefer a server that holds its own signer and runs unattended? Use the local stdio server instead. MCP overview compares the two.
1
Add the server
The hosted server needs no install and no keys.
2
Explore without a wallet
Read tools work straight away. Try:
Use Molpha to show the current capabilities: registry version, node count, chains and verifier addresses. Then derive the sourceId forhttps://api.drand.sh/public/1000at$.round. Make no writes.
3
Fund a testnet wallet
Paid rounds are signed by your wallet, never by the server. Use a dedicated devnet wallet (
solana-keygen new --outfile devnet-keypair.json creates one) with a little Devnet USDC from Circle’s faucet (choose USDC on Solana Devnet). get_x402_status in the next step shows the exact price and your balance. The wallet needs no SOL for an x402 round: the gateway’s facilitator pays the network fee.4
Run a pay-per-request round
Ask for a quote first, then the round:
CallSign the returned USDC transfer with your wallet and do not broadcast it. Sign, don’t send has a short Node script for this. A prepared payment is valid for about a minute; if it lapses, prepare again. Pass the signed transaction toget_x402_statusfor 3 signatures with payer<your wallet address>and tell me the price. Then runprepare_x402_roundfor the same source with 3 signatures for the EVM chain and give me the transaction to sign.
execute_x402_round: the gateway settles the payment and returns the signed attestation, verifier arguments and a payment receipt.5
Use the attestation, not the summary
The trust anchor is the signed attestation the tool returns, not the agent’s prose. Verify it in your contract or service before acting on the value. See Verify on EVM.
Already have a subscription?
Sign in with your wallet instead of paying per round:begin_session returns a text message, your wallet signs it, complete_session returns a session token, and execute_subscription_round runs rounds against your plan. The wallet must be the subscription owner or one of its delegates. See Sign in with your wallet.
