Summary
Connects Claude and other MCP clients to 2,800+ APIs through Orbis using x402 micropayments on Base. Exposes tools to browse APIs across data, AI, finance, and utilities, then call them directly at $0.01 per request paid in USDC. Handles the entire payment flow automatically, so your agent can search the marketplace, pick an API, and execute calls without managing API keys or subscriptions. Runs via npx with no setup for browsing, though paid calls need an Orbis API key. Useful when you want your agent to access a wide range of services without maintaining individual API accounts.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

How payments work
Orbis uses the x402 protocol — an open HTTP payment standard built on Base. When your agent calls an API:
- Orbis returns a
402 Payment Requiredresponse with payment details - The MCP server handles the USDC payment on Base automatically
- The API call completes — total cost: $0.01
No wallets to configure for browsing. To make paid calls, provide your Base wallet via ORBIS_KEY.
