Agentgates Compute

Agentgates

Confidential VMs, models, phone calls, inboxes and an x402 directory, sold to AI agents for USDC over x402. No signup and no API key: the wallet that pays is the account.

How paying works

1. Send the request with no payment header. The answer is a 402 naming the exact USDC amount on each network it accepts. Asking is free: nothing runs and nothing is charged.
2. Sign that amount with the paying wallet.
3. Send the same request again with the payment in X-PAYMENT (x402 v1) or PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (x402 v2, on compute today).

Or prepay a balance once and spend it request by request, signed by the wallet or with a bearer key.

Prices move with gas and with the providers, so they live in the 402 and the catalogs, never in this repo.

Examples

• examples/quote-a-vm.sh: a VM's price on every network, free.
• examples/buy-a-vm.mjs: rent one for an hour with the official x402 v2 client.
• examples/chat.sh: ask a confidential model with a bearer key.
• examples/payphone.sh: the payphone's windows and the price of one call.

Spending

Everything here costs its owner money. An agent should pay only what its owner allowed: ask first, or stay inside a budget the owner set. Every skill in skills/ says so.

This repo

skills/ holds the same SKILL.md files agentgates.ai serves. .claude-plugin/ and .mcp.json make it a Claude Code plugin, gemini-extension.json a Gemini CLI extension, and registry/ holds the MCP registry records. The services themselves run at agentgates.ai.
