Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v1.3.0

Published

MCP server for UtilsForAgents with eight paid x402 utility tools plus one free feedback tool, with Base or Solana payer support.

Readme

utilsforagents-mcp

MCP server for https://utilsforagents.com. It exposes eight paid utility tools via x402 plus one free feedback tool for feature requests and usability issues. Paid calls can be signed with either a Base EVM wallet or a Solana wallet.

Available Tools

| Tool | Endpoint | Cost | Description | |---|---|---|---| | json-diff | POST /v1/diff | $0.003 | Compare two JSON values and return a structured diff | | exif-summary | POST /v1/image/exif-summary | $0.003 | Extract EXIF metadata from a base64-encoded JPEG image | | scrub-metadata | POST /v1/image/scrub-metadata | $0.003 | Strip metadata from a base64-encoded JPEG or PNG image | | html-to-markdown | POST /v1/html/to-markdown | $0.003 | Convert an HTML string to clean Markdown | | fetch-markdown | POST /v1/html/fetch-markdown | $0.003 | Fetch a public URL and convert its HTML to Markdown | | fetch-content | POST /v1/text/fetch-content | $0.003 | Fetch a public URL and extract readable text | | url-metadata | POST /v1/url/metadata | $0.003 | Extract title, Open Graph, Twitter Card, favicon, feeds, and canonical metadata | | count-tokens | POST /v1/utilities/count-tokens | $0.003 | Count tokens for LLM input using exact BPE or estimation | | submit-feedback | POST /v1/feedback | free | Submit short product or feature feedback without x402 payment |

Payment Model

Paid utility tools use the x402 protocol with USDC. On a paid call, the MCP server signs the payment challenge using the configured wallet and retries automatically. The API currently advertises payment requirements on Base and Solana mainnet. The submit-feedback tool is free and does not trigger x402 payment.

Because this package includes paid tools, you must provide at least one payer key: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY or SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY.

Quick Start

npx utilsforagents-mcp

Configuration

| Variable | Required | Description | |---|---|---| | EVM_PRIVATE_KEY | Conditionally | EVM private key for a wallet holding USDC on Base. 0x prefix is optional. Provide this or SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY. | | SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY | Conditionally | Solana private key for a wallet holding USDC on Solana mainnet. Accepts base58, 0x hex, or a JSON byte array such as the contents of ~/.config/solana/id.json. Provide this or EVM_PRIVATE_KEY. | | RESOURCE_SERVER_URL | No | Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://utilsforagents.com. |

If both payer keys are present, the MCP server registers both payment schemes and lets the x402 client select the matching requirement returned by the API.

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

To use Solana instead, replace EVM_PRIVATE_KEY with SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY in the env block.

Wallet Setup

  1. Create or dedicate a low-balance wallet on Base or Solana.
  2. Fund it with a small amount of USDC on the matching network.
  3. Export the private key in a supported format.
  4. Set EVM_PRIVATE_KEY or SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY before starting the MCP server.

Use a dedicated low-balance wallet for this package. Do not use a wallet that holds significant funds.
