Discover and call paid APIs via MCP
The agent autonomously discovers available APIs, executes requests through the APIHub proxy, and handles payment via prepaid credits or USDC, returning the API response to the user without manual wallet interaction.
How it works
The agent first uses the MCP server's search or list tools to find a specific API capability. It then uses the call tool to execute the request against the APIHub proxy. The server automatically handles authentication, metering, and payment deduction from the user's prepaid credits or x402 balance. The agent should verify the API response and the remaining balance if necessary.
