OpenDexter Tools
OpenDexter is the public x402 gateway for searching and paying for paid APIs. It focuses on discovery, wallet funding, and payment — five tools that cover the full flow from search to settlement.
Hosted vs Local
| Mode | Transport | Wallet Model | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenDexter hosted | HTTPS / SSE at open.dexter.cash/mcp | Ephemeral session wallets (30-day lifetime) | ChatGPT, Claude, hosted agents |
@dexterai/opendexter npm | Local stdio | Persistent local signer at ~/.dexterai-mcp/wallet.json | Cursor, Codex, CLI agents |
The tool flow is the same in both modes. The difference is how wallets are created and funded.
