If you’re building AI agents that use paid APIs, you know the pain all too well. Sign up for each service, get keys, set up billing, store credentials, blah blah blah. Do that 20 times, and congratulations, you’ve just burnt a week on account management instead of building your agent. That’s where PayWithLocus’s wrapped APIs come in. One wallet, one credential, access to 25+ providers. But developers still had to find them first before they could enhance their game. MPP changes that. Quick version of what MPP is: it basically makes HTTP 402 (“Payment Required”) actually work. Your agent hits an endpoint, gets told the price, pays, and gets the response. All in one request. No signups. No API keys. No checkout flows. Just HTTP doing what it was supposed to do since 1997 when they reserved the status code, and then it just sat dying for 30 years. What was listed: 183 endpoints across 25 providers. Financial data, AI models, image generation, web scraping, geolocation, code execution, and more! All live, and all tested. Any MPP-speaking agent can discover them, pay, and get a response seamlessly. The part that surprised people: This is the game-changing part. MPP supports Stripe. This allows an agent to pay for any of our endpoints with a regular credit card. Same flow, same protocol, card rails instead of crypto rails. So Locus endpoints work for agents paying in stablecoins AND agents paying with cards. Users don’t have to pick a side! That’s been the bet from day one. Agent payments won’t be crypto or cards. It’ll be both. A developer agent making thousands of quick API calls probably wants stablecoin micropayments. An enterprise agent under a corporate treasury probably wants card payments. The same endpoint serves both. The way APIs are monetized right now assumes a human sits down and creates an account. That doesn’t hold up when the consumer is an agent that needs to find and pay for services on the fly. Now, that’s fixed. 183 endpoints. 25 providers. Live now. Let the games begin. submitted by /u/IAmDreTheKid
