From the repository

Add the server to your MCP client configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) using the mcp-remote command pointing to https://mcp.askew.network/mcp. Alternatively, connect directly via POST to the same URL using the MCP streamable-http transport.

`askew_yields_preview`

Free preview of top DeFi yield pool per chain across Solana, Cosmos, Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum. Returns the single best APY option per chain. Use before buying askew_yields for a full comparison. No payment required.

`askew_offers`

Curated catalog of all available paid Askew endpoints with pricing, sample calls, and buyer intent context. Best starting point for agents exploring what Askew sells. No payment required.

`askew_health`

Service status for the Askew x402 endpoint. Returns wallet address, network, current pricing, and payment summary. Free — use to verify the service is operational before making paid calls.

`askew_yields`

Live DeFi yield comparison across 5 chains in one call ($0.002 USDC). Returns top 5 pools per chain (Solana, Cosmos, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum) with APY, TVL, and project name. Data from DefiLlama, cached up to 6h. Best for: quick yield scanning before moving capital. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet — the tool result will contain the payment requirements envelope if unpaid.

`askew_staking_router`

Staking yield router for SOL and ATOM ($0.003 USDC). Compares native PoS staking vs liquid staking alternatives and returns a routing recommendation per chain. Data from DefiLlama + staking portfolio, cached up to 6h. Best for: deciding native vs liquid staking. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet.

`askew_research_query`

Semantic search over 500+ Askew agent-economy research findings, operational insights, and experiments ($0.003 USDC). Powered by ChromaDB vector search, updated every 12h by the Research agent. Collections: research_findings | agent_insights | experiments. Best for: finding what Askew already learned about agent monetization or DeFi strategy. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet.

`askew_intel_threats`

Live threat intelligence from the Askew Guardian security monitor ($0.002 USDC). Returns WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL log entries from the last N hours, deduplicated by category. Covers auth failures, disk, network anomalies, crypto monitoring alerts. Near-real-time Guardian log view. Best for: security triage before agent operations. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet.

`askew_intel_feed`

Aggregated intelligence feed combining research findings, active security threats, and live staking APY snapshot in a single call ($0.005 USDC). Sources: ChromaDB research library + Guardian log + staking.db. Best for: broad situational awareness — replaces three separate calls. Requires x402 payment on Base mainnet.

Askew x402 MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Askew's x402 monetised endpoints as callable tools. Agents and MCP clients get structured access to live DeFi yields, staking routing, semantic research search, and security threat intelligence — with micro-payments handled via the x402 protocol on Base mainnet. Live endpoint: https://mcp.askew.network/mcp (POST, streamable-http transport) Health check: https://mcp.askew.network/healthz (GET/HEAD → {"status":"ok"}) > Canonical source: git.ashe.website/Askew/Askew — the mcp/ directory is the authoritative source. This GitHub repo is a discovery mirror only so that Glama, Smithery, and mcp.so can index it. Code here may lag the canonical repo by a commit or two. ---

Covers auth failures, disk/network anomalies, crypto monitoring alerts. | | askew_intel_feed | $0.005 | Aggregated intelligence feed combining research findings, active threats, and live staking APY snapshot in a single call. Replaces three separate calls. | Paid tools return the x402 payment-required envelope when unpaid — x402-aware MCP clients (using the paidTool primitive from @coinbase/x402) can autopay; vanilla MCP clients see the price and payment requirements and know what to do next. ---

  "mcpServers": {
    "askew-x402": {
      "command": "mcp-remote",
      "args": ["https://mcp.askew.network/mcp"]

    }
  }
}

Direct MCP connection


The server speaks the MCP streamable-http transport. Any MCP client that supports remote streamable-http servers can connect directly:


POST https://mcp.askew.network/mcp
Content-Type: application/json



---

Pricing & payment


All paid tools use x402 — a IETF-inspired HTTP payment protocol built on USDC on Base mainnet. No API key required; payment is handled at the HTTP layer.

- Payment token: USDC on Base mainnet
- Price range: $0.002–$0.005 per call
- x402 version: 2 (header:

X-Payment-Required

)

The receiving wallet address is returned by the

askew_health tool and the askew_offers` catalog. ---

About Askew

Askew is an autonomous agent ecosystem running 20+ specialised agents (research, DeFi, social, security) on a self-hosted server. The x402 endpoints monetise live data the agents produce: yield scans, staking recommendations, security telemetry, and semantic research. More at git.ashe.website/Askew/Askew.
