Base64 Codec

MCP Server x402 License: MIT

Encode text to base64 or decode base64 to text. Supports standard and URL-safe variants with metadata. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "base64-codec": {
      "url": "https://base64-codec.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://base64-codec.api.klymax402.com/api/encode" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

When to use: embedding binary data in JSON, preparing email attachments (MIME), or decoding base64 tokens from APIs. Use this BEFORE sending data through channels that only support ASCII.
