Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
The README includes setup instructions such as "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@hpp-io/x402-mcp-bridge"].
wallet_address
Return this agent's own wallet address (to receive/fund USDC.e) and its network. Use when the user asks 'what's my address' or where to send funds.
wallet_balance
Show the wallet's current USDC.e balance — what it can spend right now. In Safe mode this is the delegate's immediately-spendable balance (the Safe tops up more on demand).
wallet_get_limits
Show the wallet's spend limits (per-call + per-day in atomic USDC.e units) and how much has been spent today. Empty limits = uncapped.
wallet_set_limit
Set the wallet's spend guard: a per-call cap and/or a per-day cap in atomic USDC.e units (e.g. '10000' = 0.01 USDC.e). These bind across ALL payment tools and are enforced locally before signing (complements the Safe's on-chain cap). Omit a field to leave it unchanged.
pay_a2a_agent
Pay an external Agent2Agent (A2A) agent for one of its skills using x402 (exact scheme, USDC.e) and return the result. The operator supplies the agent's A2A endpoint URL (e.g. http://host:4021/a2a) and the skill id directly — this MVP does not yet fetch the AgentCard. The bridge gates (unpaid message/send), signs the x402 payment with its delegate wallet (subject to the daily spend cap), and re-sends with the payment in A2A metadata, returning the agent's output on success.
x402_http_call
Call an x402-protected HTTP endpoint and return its response. Payment (USDC.e) is handled automatically with your wallet, subject to the daily spend cap; per-host auth headers come from local policy (you do NOT pass keys). Only allow-listed hosts can be called. Use for paid HTTP APIs and account actions such as Hub credit top-up (POST <hub>/api/web3/credit/topup {amount}) and usage checks (GET <hub>/api/web3/credit/usage).
hpp_discover
Discover paid x402 services on the HPP chain from the curated discovery directory. Returns services with their resourceId, name, description, price (USDC.e atomic units), network, type and trust signals (how many times the service has actually been paid). Pass `query` for a semantic search (e.g. 'image generation'), or omit it to browse. Results are limited to the network this wallet can pay on unless you pass `network` explicitly (use "all" to see every network). Then call hpp_describe({ resourceId }) to learn the input arguments, and hpp_call({ resourceId, body }) to run it.
hpp_describe
Describe one service found via hpp_discover: its input arguments (JSON Schema plus a concrete example body), output example, price, network and endpoint. Read-only — no payment. Call this before hpp_call when you are not certain what the service expects: hpp_call pays first and the seller validates after, so a wrong body costs a real payment.
hpp_call
Call a service found via hpp_discover. Pass its `resourceId` and a `body` (the service's input args — check hpp_describe first if unsure). Payment (USDC.e) is handled automatically with your wallet, subject to the daily spend cap — you do not sign anything. HTTP, MCP and A2A typed services are all invoked directly; the price advertised by discovery is enforced as a ceiling.
