DESCRIPTION

MCP tools-list / Model Context Protocol discovery / list MCP server tools / tools/list JSON-RPC / agent capability discovery / MCP catalog lookup. Pass any MCP server URL (HTTP transport) — completes the initialize handshake and returns the tool catalog (names, descriptions, JSON-schema input shapes). Optionally also lists resources and prompts. Pure agent infrastructure: an agent that discovers an unknown MCP server URL gets back its capabilities without running its own MCP client. No API key. SSRF-guarded (no loopback / RFC1918 targets).

EXAMPLEStwo ways to call
EXAMPLE 1 · curl
curl -X POST https://x402.org/v1/mcp-tools-list \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ }'
first response = 402 Payment Required with payment requirements; sign + retry with X-PAYMENT.
EXAMPLE 2 · mcp
# install once
claude mcp add x402 --command "npx x402-deployer-mcp"

# then ask Claude Code:
# "use the mcp-tools-list tool to ..."
MCP server handles payment automatically — your coding agent just calls the tool by name.
