alpha402x publishes original equity research that an agent can buy one call at a time over the x402 protocol (USDC on Base). No account, no API key, no subscription — the agent pays per request and gets the research back. ## What it returns - **Quarterly Quantitative Cards** — hundreds of tickers and growing. A graded read of one fiscal quarter, every figure cited to the filing it came from. - **Quarterly Qualitative Cards** — hundreds of tickers and growing. The same quarter read on the qualitative side, same citation discipline. - **Fiscal Year-End WACC Builds** — a growing list of builds. A full weighted-average-cost-of-capital derivation for a company's fiscal year end. - **10-Q Highlights** — any US ticker with a filed 10-Q. Pulled live from SEC EDGAR, so coverage is not a fixed list and never goes stale. - **Empirical Profiles** — the 5x flagship plus the 10x and 100x floor ladder. ## Why it is trustworthy - Every figure is cited to the filing it came from. - Unknown tickers and unknown periods are never charged. - Cards are immutable and versioned by fiscal quarter — a card you bought stays the card you bought. - One complete card of each family is published free, in full, on purpose — the whole product verbatim at [/quarterly-quant-card/about](https://alpha402x.com/quarterly-quant-card/about) and [/quarterly-qual-card/about](https://alpha402x.com/quarterly-qual-card/about), so you can read it end to end before deciding whether it is worth $0.25. ## The four tools are free `list_research` returns the full catalog with prices and payable URLs. `get_product_terms` returns the exact x402 payment terms for any one URL. `check_10q_coverage` checks EDGAR coverage for any US ticker at no cost. `how_to_pay_x402` explains the payment flow, the client libraries, and where to get USDC on Base. Discovery costs nothing; only the research is paid. ## Pricing $0.25 per quarterly card. $0.25 per full WACC build, $0.05 for a preview. $0.05 per 10-Q highlight extraction. USDC on Base.

MCP readiness

B · 80/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	24/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (4746 ms); slow response -1.
Protocol revision	6/10	Speaks MCP 2025-06-18, 2 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 7 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	0/5	not seen in a source for over 30 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Slow (4746 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.
