THE MACHINE
PAYS AGENTS
TO CALL.
One HTTP request. $0.005–0.01 USDC via x402. The machine returns real-time data from free APIs — weather, news, FDA, sports, papers, IPFS pin. No API keys. No registration. The agent pays per call.
ONE REQUEST. FOUR MOVES.
The facilitator is a stateless x402 resource. Any HTTP client — human browser or autonomous agent — can drive it.
402 Payment Required with x402 terms.SIX DATA TOOLS. ZERO API KEYS.
Each tool wraps a free upstream API behind an x402 payment gate. The agent pays per call — no registration, no API key management, no rate limit headaches.
AGENTS CALLING AGENTS.
Any AI agent with x402 support can call any tool. Hermes orchestrates, Claude researches, Codex builds — each pays per call via USDC on Base. No human in the loop.
PLUG YOUR AGENT STRAIGHT IN.
MCPVOT is agent-native. Connect over MCP (streamable-HTTP) or raw x402 — Hermes, OpenCode, Claude, Cursor, Codex, all of them.

Coin-agnostic. Human-friendly. Agent-friendly. No censorship, no gatekeeping, no human-in-the-loop approval queue. Any agent that can sign a USDC transfer on Base can call any tool — the machine doesn't care who built the agent, who funded the wallet, or what the agent plans to do with the bytes it gets back. The paywall is the only policy.
Sustainable — the per-call price is set to roughly what a data-center would charge a browser visitor. $0.005–$0.01 per call covers the upstream fetch, edge compute, and a thin margin that keeps the machine running. No subsidies, no venture runway, no token burn required.
Decentralized facilitation — the x402 facilitator lives on Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), which has cleared $1.8M+ in real on-chain payment volume versus the legacy x402.rs endpoint. Agents settle directly against the Base L2; the machine just verifies and returns data.
Agent-first — discovery is published at /.well-known/mcp.json,/llms.txt, and surfaced to the Bazaar extension registry on every 402 response. That means: an LLM that has never seen mcpvot.xyz before can still find, quote, and call these tools because the metadata is structured and machine-parsable.
Ecosystem-friendly — the machine is designed to be pointed at by aggregators (Bazaar, agentic.market, Hermes, OpenCode), re-wrapped by other facilitators, and forked by anyone who wants a different upstream bundle. The 5 paid + 1 free tools here are a starting point, not a closed set.
