# paygentic

> Pay-per-call utility APIs for AI agents. No accounts or API keys. Each paid call settles in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol (HTTP 402).

## How to pay
Request a paid endpoint. The 402 response carries a base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header with the exact price. Sign the payment and retry with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. Failed calls (4xx/5xx) are never charged. Clients: @x402/fetch, @x402/axios, @x402/mcp.
