UnderIndex

Verified records on 60 niche fashion subcultures (years, key brands, iconic items, where to buy, price range, and a WARNING on what each must not be confused with), so Claude stops blending neighbouring aesthetics. Catalog and a sample record are free; full records cost $0.01 each over x402 (USDC on Base).

UnderIndex MCP server

Gives Claude (or any MCP client) verified records on 60 niche fashion subcultures: years, key brands, iconic items, music, where to buy, a price range, and a WARNING note on what each one must not be confused with. It is the UnderIndex API as three tools.

ToolCostWhat it does
list_subculturesfreeEvery slug with its name and years
get_sample_recordfreeOne complete record (Goth Ninja), to see the shape
get_subculture$0.01 USDC on BaseOne record, paid automatically over x402

Without a wallet key the two free tools work and get_subculture explains how to enable payments.

Install

Requires Node.js 20 or later. Nothing to download: npx fetches the underindex-mcp package on first run.

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "underindex": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "underindex-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "UNDERINDEX_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add underindex -e UNDERINDEX_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... -- npx -y underindex-mcp

Leave out UNDERINDEX_PRIVATE_KEY to use only the free tools.

Configuration

VariableDefaultNotes
UNDERINDEX_PRIVATE_KEYnonePrivate key of an EVM wallet holding USDC on Base. Use a dedicated wallet with a few dollars in it, never your main one.
UNDERINDEX_MAX_PER_CALL$0.05Hard cap per lookup. The server refuses to pay more than this, whatever the API asks.
UNDERINDEX_API_URLhttps://underindex-api.onrender.comPoint it at a self-hosted server, e.g. one running on Base Sepolia testnet.

An unknown slug returns 404 before any payment is requested, so typos cost nothing. Each paid answer ends with a link to the payment on BaseScan.

Try it for free

The API's own server starts on Base Sepolia testnet when self-hosted, where test USDC is free from a faucet. Run it as described in the main README, then set UNDERINDEX_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 and a testnet wallet key.
