M2mcent

npm version License: MIT Base Mainnet

Ultra-lightweight x402 payment interceptor for AI Agents and MCP Servers. Monetize any API in 3 lines of code.

🚀 Quick Start

npm install m2mcent-sdk

import { X402Handler } from 'm2mcent-sdk';

const x402 = new X402Handler({
  rpcUrl: 'https://mainnet.base.org',
  privateKey: process.env.RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY!,
  recipient: process.env.TREASURY_ADDRESS!
});

// Protect any Express endpoint with a USDC paywall
app.post('/api/analyze', x402.requirePayment("100000"), (req, res) => {
  res.json({ result: "Premium analysis complete", receipt: req.paymentTx });
});

📐 How It Works

M2MCent implements the x402 Payment Protocol — a machine-native payment standard inspired by HTTP 402:

1. Agent requests a protected endpoint
2. Server responds with 402 Payment Required + payment metadata (Base64 encoded)
3. Agent signs an EIP-712 typed data authorization (gasless for the payer)
4. Server settles atomically on-chain via the M2MCent Escrow contract
5. Agent receives the premium response + transaction receipt

Agent ──► API Server ──► 402 + metadata
Agent ◄── signs EIP-712 authorization
Agent ──► API Server + Payment-Signature header
          └──► Escrow.settle() on Base L2
Agent ◄── Premium Response + tx hash

⚙️ Configuration

🔒 Security

• Non-custodial: Funds flow directly from payer → treasury via on-chain escrow
• Gasless for payers: Uses EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization (USDC native)
• Zero-Leak: No agent data is retained after settlement
• Atomic: Payment and service delivery happen in a single request cycle

🌐 Network Details

🧩 MCP Server Integration

Perfect for Model Context Protocol servers:

import express from 'express';
import { X402Handler } from 'm2mcent-sdk';

const app = express();
const x402 = new X402Handler({
  rpcUrl: process.env.BASE_RPC_URL!,
  privateKey: process.env.RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY!,
  recipient: process.env.TREASURY_ADDRESS!
});

// Any MCP tool endpoint becomes monetizable
app.post('/api/tools/analyze', x402.requirePayment("50000"), async (req, res) => {
  const result = await runMCPTool(req.body);
  res.json({ ...result, paymentTx: req.paymentTx });
});

📊 Ecosystem

M2MCent powers 100+ production MCP servers on Base Mainnet, processing real USDC micro-payments for AI-to-AI commerce.
