Burnbound

Overview

Burnbound is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI agents to pay x402 APIs within daily caps, allowed hosts, and human approval workflows. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Burnbound's tools directly, with the model deciding when to invoke them during conversations or agent runs.

It runs locally via the npm package @burnbound/mcp, which communicates over stdio on your machine. You'll need to provide your BURNBOUND_KEY through environment variables to authenticate. The latest release is v0.7.0.

Burnbound is categorized under AI & Agents on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others.
