APIbase MCP Client
MCP client for APIbase.pro — connect AI agents to 300+ tools across 84 providers via the Model Context Protocol. Dual-rail payments: x402 (USDC on Base) + MPP (USDC on Tempo/Stripe).
Available as two identical packages:
| Package | Install |
|---------|---------|
| @apibase11/mcp-client | npx -y @apibase11/mcp-client |
| apibase-mcp-client | npx -y apibase-mcp-client |
Quick Start
npx -y apibase-mcp-clientUsage
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apibase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@apibase11/mcp-client"]
}
}
}With API key:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apibase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@apibase11/mcp-client", "ak_live_YOUR_KEY"]
}
}
}Or via environment variable:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apibase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@apibase11/mcp-client"],
"env": {
"APIBASE_API_KEY": "ak_live_YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code
Same config pattern — add to your MCP settings:
{
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "apibase-mcp-client"]
}Streamable HTTP (no client needed)
Most modern MCP clients support remote servers directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apibase": {
"url": "https://apibase.pro/mcp"
}
}
}Authentication
Three modes (in priority order):
- CLI argument:
npx apibase-mcp-client ak_live_YOUR_KEY - Environment variable:
APIBASE_API_KEY=ak_live_YOUR_KEY - Auto-register: omit the key — APIbase creates one automatically on first request
Payment
APIbase supports dual-rail payments — agents can pay using either protocol:
| Protocol | Network | Token | How |
|----------|---------|-------|-----|
| x402 | Base | USDC | X-Payment header |
| MPP | Tempo (Stripe) | USDC | Authorization: Payment header |
Free tools work without payment. Paid tools return HTTP 402 with payment instructions for both protocols. Use mppx SDK or Tempo CLI for automatic payment handling.

How It Works
Stdio-to-HTTP bridge: translates MCP stdio transport (used by Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to Streamable HTTP transport (used by APIbase server). No tool re-registration — pure transport proxy.
