Free MCP server verifies paid APIs with real money: 2,145 of 3,761 endpoints confirmed delivering
SashSail · reddit · 2026-10-11
A free MCP server (api.nohumans.directory/mcp) helps agents pick paid APIs and datasets that actually work (x402, pay-per-call in USDC) before spending anything.
Core tools
- findpaidservice: search 9,300 paid endpoints, filterable by category, max price, min score, and protocol
- getservicedetails: full record for one endpoint including payment terms, latency, and the latest on-chain purchase
- resolveendpoint: validate a URL before paying
- whatagentsareaskingfor: a free feed of what other agents searched for
Why results are trustworthy: instead of just pinging endpoints, the team buys from them with real USDC on Base and records delivery — 2,145 of 3,761 endpoints (58%) confirmed actually delivering, so paidverified: true means a real purchase went through.
Token-efficient design: tool list trimmed to 11 KB, server instructions to 1,250 chars, and search returns a 16-field summary by default instead of all 47 fields.
