npm:
@mameta/japan-data-mcp· MCP Registry:io.github.Mameta29/japan-data-mcp· transport: stdio
An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, …) one-call access to the agentic-jp.com suite of Japanese data APIs. Every call is settled per-use over the x402 payment protocol — no account, no subscription, no API key.
What it covers — 30 tools across 7 APIs
| API | Tools | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| address | address_normalize, address_geocode, address_reverse_geocode, address_postal_code, address_parse | Japanese address normalization, geocoding, postal-code lookup, free-form parsing |
| furigana | furigana_convert, furigana_name_readings, furigana_classify | Reading conversion, name readings, text classification |
| transit | transit_station_status, transit_line_disruptions, transit_route_plan, transit_alternative_routes, transit_lines, transit_stations_search | Real-time rail delays + delay-aware route planning (ODPT) |
| diet | diet_member, diet_members_search, diet_minutes_search, diet_minutes_summarize, diet_topic_track, | National Diet members, proceedings, AI summaries, votes |
| holiday | holiday_is_holiday, holiday_list, holiday_add_business_days, holiday_business_days_between | Public holidays + business-day math |
| weather | weather_forecast, weather_warnings, weather_areas | JMA forecasts and warnings |
| houjin | houjin_corporation, houjin_search, houjin_verify | Corporate-number (法人番号) registry — 5.78M corporations |
How payment works
x402 is a buyer-pays protocol. This MCP server holds your wallet and pays each API call transparently — the agent never sees a payment prompt. Calls cost roughly $0.001–$0.10 each (mostly sub-cent), settled in USDC on Base.
- You fund a wallet with a small amount of USDC.
- You set
EVM_PRIVATE_KEYto that wallet's key. - The server pays as it goes; per-call cost is well under a cent for most tools.
Without EVM_PRIVATE_KEY the server still starts and lists every tool, but a
paid tool call returns a clear "payment not configured" message — nothing is
charged.
Security: the key in
EVM_PRIVATE_KEYcan spend that wallet's funds. Use a dedicated wallet funded with only what you intend to spend — never a primary wallet.
Setup
No install step — npx fetches and runs the server on demand.
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"japan-data": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mameta/japan-data-mcp"],
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_FUNDED_WALLET_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Without EVM_PRIVATE_KEY the server still starts and lists all 30 tools;
the paid tools then return a clear "payments disabled" error instead of
running. Add a USDC-funded wallet key to enable them.
Cursor / Cline
Point the MCP client at npx -y @mameta/japan-data-mcp with the same
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY env var. Transport is stdio.
From source
git clone https://github.com/Mameta29/japan-data-mcp.git
cd japan-data-mcp
npm install && npm run build
# then point the MCP client at: node /abs/path/to/dist/index.js
Example prompts
Once connected, just ask the agent in natural language:
- "「東京都千代田区丸の内1-1」を正規化して緯度経度も出して" —
address_normalize+address_geocode - "Is tomorrow a public holiday in Japan? If so, when is the next business day?" —
holiday_is_holiday+holiday_add_business_days - "山手線いま遅れてる?渋谷から東京駅までの代替ルートは?" —
transit_line_disruptions+transit_alternative_routes - "Look up the corporation with corporate number 7010401056220" —
houjin_corporation - "国会で「デジタル庁」について最近議論された内容を要約して" —
diet_minutes_search+diet_minutes_summarize
Configuration
| Env var | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY | for paid tools | Private key of a USDC-funded wallet (Base / Polygon). Paid tools are disabled if absent. |
