AlphaPipeline

A pre-flight safety gate for on-chain trading agents — rug-pull/honeypot checks before you buy, plus market/derivatives data — pay-per-call ($0.005–$0.03 USDC), no signup, no API key, no OAuth. Check a token for honeypot/tax/liquidity risk before a swap, or pull funding rates, DEX slippage, Korea price premiums, Polymarket arbitrage signals, and Hyperliquid HIP-4 prediction-market odds. Authenticate and pay in a single request via the x402 protocol (HTTP 402) on Base, or call it as a remote MCP server from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Why AlphaPipeline

AlphaPipeline is a machine-first data API. Every endpoint is metered per call using x402: a request without a payment header gets back a standard HTTP 402 response describing exactly how to pay (asset, amount, network, recipient). No account creation, no dashboard, no API key issuance — sign, retry the request with the payment attached, and you get the data back in the same request/response cycle.

It is also exposed as a remote MCP server (POST /mcp) so agent frameworks (Claude Desktop, Cursor, LangChain, CrewAI, and anything else that speaks MCP) can discover and call it with zero custom integration code.

The security cluster is the most battle-tested part of this API. security.token_risk, security.contract_health_audit, and security.token_diagnostic have been run as a live pre-buy safety gate ahead of real on-chain swaps on Base — not just informational data, but an actual pass/fail input wired into a trading pipeline before it risked funds. None of the three return a qualitative verdict field (no safe_to_execute: true/false) — they return raw GoPlus/Honeypot.is numbers and leave the buy/no-buy decision to your own code.

• Discovery is always free. initialize and tools/list never require payment — browse the full tool catalog before you decide to pay.
• Two tools are permanent free onboarding endpoints (unlocks.dump_risk and market.kimchi_alert, see below) so an agent can verify connectivity, latency, and response schema before it starts paying for the security cluster and the rest.
• Settlement is Coinbase CDP (Developer Platform) Facilitator on Base mainnet (eip155:8453), asset USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913).

The endpoints have not been reviewed by Coinbase — please ensure you trust them prior to sending funds.

Quickstart — Remote MCP

Add this to your MCP client's config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor .cursor/mcp.json, or equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphapipeline": {
      "url": "https://alphapipeline-eu.onrender.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

tools/list works immediately with no payment. tools/call on a priced tool requires an x402-aware client that can sign and retry a payment (a wallet-holding bot/agent client — most stock chat UIs cannot pay automatically). See examples/ for a working Python client using the official x402 SDK.

Quickstart — Plain REST / x402

curl -s "https://alphapipeline-eu.onrender.com/v1/security/token-risk?chain_id=8453&contract_address=0x..."
# -> HTTP 402, payment terms in the `payment-required` response header (base64 JSON)
# sign a payment, retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header attached -> 200 + data

Note for client authors: this server speaks x402 v2 — the 402 response body is an empty {}; the actual payment terms (accepts array, price, asset, pay-to address) are base64-JSON in the payment-required response header, not the body. A client written against the older body-shaped convention will get an empty object with no error, not a loud failure. Decode the header instead.

Note on unlocks.dump_risk and market.kimchi_alert: both are intentionally free (no x402 payment required) as onboarding tools — they're informational market-context signals, not part of the validated pre-trade security cluster (security.token_risk, security.contract_health_audit, security.token_diagnostic), which remains paid. If a third-party discovery catalog (e.g. x402 Bazaar) still shows a stale non-zero price for either from before this change, treat this server's own / response and MCP tools/list output as the source of truth — they always reflect the live price.

Note on tool names: MCP tool names use a domain.tool_name dot-notation (e.g. market.kimchi_alert) so the tool list forms a navigable tree by domain. The REST paths under /v1/<domain>/... are unaffected by this and remain stable.

Want this for any market/size, in your own bot?
-> https://github.com/parkyucheol-del/alphapipeline

This calls the free, rate-limited (10/min per IP) GET /v1/prediction/preview-slippage — no payment header, no query params, always runs against a fixed benchmark market so you can judge data quality before paying for prediction.exit_capacity_audit, which takes any market/size you supply. If npx check-my-slippage doesn't resolve on your machine, call the endpoint directly instead: curl https://alphapipeline-eu.onrender.com/v1/prediction/preview-slippage, or run it from source: node check-my-slippage/bin/index.js from a clone of this repo.

Copy-paste client — pre-flight safety gate before a DEX buy

If you're building a sniping/discovery bot that buys new tokens on Base, this is the pattern our own dogfooding bot (alphapipeline-dogfood-bot) uses as a hard, non-bypassable gate before every on-chain purchase: pay $0.03 for security.token-diagnostic, then apply your own thresholds to the raw fields it returns (this server never returns a safe_to_buy: true/false verdict — see Why AlphaPipeline). Adapted from examples/client_example.py:

# pip install "x402[https]" eth_account httpx
import asyncio, os
from eth_account import Account
from x402 import x402Client
from x402.http.clients import x402HttpxClient
from x402.mechanisms.evm import EthAccountSigner
from x402.mechanisms.evm.exact.register import register_exact_evm_client

API = "https://alphapipeline-eu.onrender.com"

async def is_safe_to_buy(contract_address: str, chain_id: int = 8453) -> bool:
    account = Account.from_key(os.environ["EVM_PRIVATE_KEY"])  # dedicated small wallet only
    client = x402Client()
    register_exact_evm_client(client, EthAccountSigner(account))
    async with x402HttpxClient(client) as http:
        r = await http.get(f"{API}/v1/security/token-diagnostic",
                            params={"contract_address": contract_address, "chain_id": chain_id})
        await r.aread()
        diag = r.json()  # $0.03 USDC charged on Base mainnet — no free tier for this one

    return (
        diag.get("is_honeypot") is not True
        and (diag.get("buy_tax_pct") or 0) <= 10
        and (diag.get("sell_tax_pct") or 0) <= 10
        and diag.get("liquidity_health") in ("LOCKED", "PARTIALLY_LOCKED")
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(asyncio.run(is_safe_to_buy("0xYourTargetTokenContract")))

Tune the thresholds (buy/sell tax %, which liquidity_health values you accept, risk_flags_count, etc.) to your own risk tolerance — the full field list is in the security.token-diagnostic schema below. This is exactly the logic our dogfooding bot runs on every candidate before it will spend real USDC.

Tools / Endpoints

Every response is timestamped in both UTC and KST, and every priced endpoint's payment prompt reads "Paid in USDC on Base." so a human looking at the 402 screen in a browser isn't left guessing which chain's USDC to send.

Event subscriptions (webhook push) — EXPERIMENTAL

2026-09-30 addition, modeled loosely on a still-draft MCP Events extension (github.com/modelcontextprotocol/experimental-ext-triggers-events — not an official spec yet, request/response shape may change). Instead of polling GET /v1/prediction/hip4-snapshot yourself, you can register a webhook and get pushed a Standard Webhooks-signed (webhook-id / webhook-timestamp / webhook-signature, HMAC-SHA256 over "{id}.{timestamp}.{body}") POST when a HIP-4 outcome's probability moves by at least a threshold, or a new HIP-4 market shows up.

Honest caveats before you rely on this:

• It's polling, not a real push feed. Hyperliquid's HIP-4 has no webhook/streaming API, so under the hood this server re-fetches get_hip4_snapshot() every HIP4_EVENTS_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS (default 300s = 5 min) and diffs it. A jump can be reported up to that long after it actually happened.
• Disabled by default (HIP4_EVENTS_ENABLED=false). The subscribe route isn't even registered with the payment middleware while disabled, and the handler itself double-checks and returns 503 — so you can never be charged for a subscription that will never deliver anything.
• Subscriptions may not survive a restart. They're persisted to a local JSON file (HIP4_EVENTS_DATA_FILE, default data/hip4_event_subscriptions.json), which is fine for a single long-running Render instance but is lost on a disk reset. Not backed by a real database (yet).
• hip4.resolving (resolution/settlement-imminent) is not implemented - Hyperliquid's outcomeMeta doesn't expose a verified resolution timestamp, and this project's policy is never to fake a field it can't back with real data. Only hip4.prob_jump and hip4.market_created are live.
• MCP clients get the same three operations as events/list / events/subscribe / events/unsubscribe JSON-RPC methods on /mcp (declared under the experimental capabilities.extensions["io.modelcontextprotocol/events"] key) - events/subscribe self-calls the same paid REST route internally, so pricing/payment is identical either way.
• Optional noise filter (HIP4_EVENTS_CLEF_FILTER_ENABLED, default false). When on, each hip4.prob_jump candidate is scored by Cloudflare Workers AI's clef-flash decision model (needs CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID / CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN) before delivery; candidates scored below HIP4_EVENTS_CLEF_SIGNAL_THRESHOLD (default 0.3) are not sent. No trading-volume or orderbook-depth data goes into that score - Hyperliquid's public HIP-4 API doesn't expose either - so it's reasoning from the probability move alone. If the Cloudflare call fails or the credentials are missing, this fails open: the event is delivered anyway, just without the extra clef_signal field it would otherwise carry.

Quick test once HIP4_EVENTS_ENABLED=true is set and deployed:

curl -G https://alphapipeline-eu.onrender.com/v1/prediction/hip4-alerts/subscribe \
  --data-urlencode "webhook_url=https://webhook.site/your-id" \
  --data-urlencode "secret=replace-with-a-random-32-byte-secret"
# -> 402 with payment terms, same as any other endpoint here; pay, retry, get a subscription_id back

Note: this is GET with query parameters, not POST with a JSON body - see the note on secret in the endpoint description for the resulting trade-off (it travels in the URL query string).

Data sources

Every number returned is either passed through unchanged from one of these upstreams, or a deterministic calculation on top of them — never a third-party estimate presented as our own:

In progress — stock discrepancy feed (4-week data trial, started 2026-10-08)

Collecting hourly, not selling yet. scripts/collect_stock_discrepancy.py runs via .github/workflows/stock-discrepancy-collect.yml once an hour and appends to data-public/stock_discrepancy_log.jsonl (not data/ — that directory is gitignored for HIP-4 webhook secrets; this data has nothing sensitive in it). Nothing here is a paid endpoint — this is purely assembling the evidence to decide whether it should become one.

What's tracked: last regular-session close, Base B20 token price (Aerodrome, via GeckoTerminal), Hyperliquid HIP-3 stock perp mark price + funding, and the discrepancy % between them, per symbol, per hour. Symbol list: NVDA, AAPL, META, GOOGL — not TSLA/MSTR/COIN, which an earlier brief named but which don't have a confirmed Coinbase B20/cbStock token on Aerodrome as of this writing (re-check before adding them back in).

Launch/hold decision, due ~2026-11-05 (4 weeks from start) — needs 2 of 3 to clear:

1. Weekend discrepancy direction (Friday close → Sunday night) matches the following Monday's opening-gap direction ≥65% of the time (sample: 4 weekends × symbol count, roughly 16-20 data points).
2. A discrepancy >1% occurs at least once per weekend, across any symbol — this is what makes an alert product viable in the first place.
3. Data gaps (data_gap: true rows — pool illiquidity, upstream API errors) stay ≤10% of all rows.

If it doesn't clear 2 of 3: don't force a paid launch on a thin signal. Turn it into a free public dashboard instead and use it as a traffic funnel into the rest of AlphaPipeline.

Secondary, free feed: the same cron also snapshots Kalshi's KXBTC15M 15-minute/hourly crypto prediction markets (public, no-auth API) into data-public/kalshi_btc15m_log.jsonl, to compare against prediction.hip4_snapshot's own BTC probability later. No extra infrastructure cost; not part of the launch/hold decision above.
