Software is becoming autonomous.
Payments haven't caught up.

APIs, AI agents, and services can now act on their own

But payments are still built for humans

Traditional payment infrastructure wasn't designed for autonomous systems

Subscriptions

Monthly billing cycles designed for human customers

Manual billing

Invoice generation and payment tracking require human intervention

Accounts and API keys

Authentication systems built around user accounts

Invoices and reconciliation

Complex accounting processes need manual oversight

Monetization is the bottleneck

Modern applications face critical payment infrastructure challenges

Subscriptions don't scale to machine usage

Traditional subscription models weren't designed for AI-driven consumption patterns

Usage-based pricing is expensive to build and maintain

Complex metering infrastructure requires significant engineering resources

Global payments add friction and compliance risk

Managing international transactions and regulations creates barriers

AI agents can't subscribe or manage invoices

Autonomous systems need programmatic payment capabilities

This limits adoption and blocks new business models

HTTPayer automates payments at the protocol level

HTTPayer turns HTTP 402 into a fully automated payment flow.

Any request can become a paid request, without changing how software is built.

Developers keep using HTTP.

HTTPayer handles the money.

Pay-per-request pricing by default

True usage-based pricing without infrastructure complexity

Cross-chain USDC settlement

Instant global payments without currency conversion

Built-in budgets, caps, and policies

Granular spending controls for autonomous systems

Privacy-preserving by design

Secure transactions without compromising user data

Everything you need to manage agentic payments

The HTTPayer dashboard gives developers and teams full control. No wallets. No smart contracts.

Credits via Stripe

Top up instantly with a card. Credits convert to USDC and route to any x402 endpoint.

Multi API key management

Generate, rotate, and scope keys per project or environment. All from one place.

Billing per org

Separate credit pools, usage limits, and invoices for each team or organization.

Usage metrics

See spend per key, per endpoint, and per org. Understand exactly where credits go.

For AI agents and developers

The easiest way to add agentic payments

One MCP server. One agent skill. Any AI client. HTTPayer is installed and ready in under a minute.

MCP Server

@httpayer/mcp on npm

Drop-in MCP server for any AI client. Exposes fetch, get_balance, simulate, and more. Payment is handled automatically.

$ npx @httpayer/mcp setup \
--key sk-live-... \
--client claude-code --yes

Agent Skill

httpayer.com/skill.md

A machine-readable skill file any AI agent can load. Teaches the agent when and how to use HTTPayer: endpoints, workflow, and cost. No human involvement needed.

# Paste this into any AI agent to install HTTPayer:

The future of software is pay-per-use

If software can act on its own, it should be able to pay on its own.

HTTPayer makes that possible.
