in the cloud
one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb
-
Koyeb builds the repository's Dockerfile from branch main; change the branch in the form if the default one has another name.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
- cloud run
-
Cloud Shell clones the repository, builds its Dockerfile and deploys it to Cloud Run.
Cloud Run sends requests to $PORT (8080); the recipe expects :8000, so the server has to read PORT, or set the container port on the service afterwards.

The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://lumierepaycheck.org/mcp?plans=1` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `paycheck` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__paycheck__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 6 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

catalog_statsGet an overview of the whole monitored x402 catalog: how many endpoints are monitored, how many fall into each verdict (proceed, caution, avoid, free, insufficient_data), and when scores were last computed. Use it for context or reporting, for example to tell a user how much of the x402 ecosystem passes checks. It says nothing about any single endpoint: use check_endpoint for one endpoint, top_endpoints for a ranked list, or check_payment before paying.

Use it when you're deciding whether an endpoint is trustworthy at all, before you have a price quote. When you already have the 402 quote (amount and payTo) and are about to pay, use check_payment instead: it runs this same check and also verifies the price and wallet. To discover good endpoints rather than check a known one, use top_endpoints. Read-only and free; reflects monitoring every 30 minutes and real test payments, so a brand-new endpoint may return insufficient_data. Endpoints not in the catalog return monitored: false.

pin 0ee417c8afbce39de5f13393bfa175f050265b27dc50a68de11c1c9128e56b3dcheck_paymentDecide whether a specific x402 payment should go through: returns allow true/false with reasons. Checks the endpoint's trust verdict, that the amount is within your cap and not above the monitored price, and that the payTo wallet matches the one we've observed (catches swapped or hijacked wallets). Optionally (minOrganicShare) it also requires that enough of the seller's volume comes from independent buyers. Intended for right before a payment, with the amount, payTo, and network from the endpoint's 402 quote; allow is true only when every rule passes. Use check_endpoint instead if you only want an endpoint's grade without a quote in hand. Read-only and free; it doesn't make or block the payment itself. When allow is false, the reasons list explains why.

Returns the report URL, price, and network; it doesn't buy the report itself. The report is an x402 endpoint that your agent pays with any x402 client. Use it only when the free check_endpoint result isn't enough and the user wants the full history. The response also lists the other paid x402 checks (wallet risk, batch grades, watch alerts), paid the same way. Endpoints we don't monitor return 404 on the report URL and are never charged.

Free, optional, and open to every agent: send the receipt from a Lumière PayCheck allow decision (paid plans), or the endpoint url plus the payment's transaction hash (anyone; we verify the payment on-chain, Base or Solana, within 24 hours). Answer the short questions in answers: gotResponse, matchedListing (yes/partly/no), charged (as_quoted/more/twice), dataUsable (yes/unsure/no), wouldPayAgain. Reports never change a grade by themselves: confirmations from independent buyers move the endpoint up our paid-test queue, and serious problems (nothing came back, charged more or twice) trigger a re-test; only our own paid test changes the grade.
