## Payment Methods
### x402 (Recommended for Agents)
Pay per call with USDC on Base L2. No account needed.
Server returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions.
Wallet: 0xFE141943a93c184606F3060103D975662327063B
#### x402 Agent Flow (Step-by-Step)
1. Call any paid tool (e.g., POST /api/tools/generate_image) without payment headers.
2. Server returns HTTP 402 with JSON body:
{"error": "Payment required", "x402": {"price": "200000", "currency": "USDC", "network": "base", "receiver": "0xFE141943a93c184606F3060103D975662327063B", "schema": "EIP-712"}}
3. Sign an EIP-712 typed-data permit for the exact price using your wallet's private key.
4. Re-send the same request with header: X-PAYMENT: <base64-encoded-signed-permit>
5. Server verifies the signature, transfers USDC, and executes the tool.
6. No account, no API key, no pre-registration — just a funded USDC wallet on Base L2.
### Stripe (Per-Call)
Pay with credit card for any single tool call. No account or credits needed.
1. POST /api/create-payment-intent {"tool_name": "generate_image"}
→ Returns: client_secret, payment_intent_id, amount_usd
2. Complete payment using Stripe.js or server-side charge.
3. Re-call the tool with header: X-Stripe-Payment-Intent: pi_xxx
Note: Stripe minimum is $0.50/transaction. For tools under $0.50, use GCX credits or x402 instead.
### GCX Credits
New wallets get 10 FREE GCX ($1 value) — register at POST /api/wallet/register.
Pre-purchase more: $5 = 50 GCX, $10 = 100 GCX (base rate), $50 = 600 GCX (17% off), $100 = 1600 GCX (38% off).
### Volume Discounts
Automatic per-wallet discounts based on 30-day rolling spend:
- Standard ($0-49): 0% discount
- Active ($50-99): 10% discount
- Pro ($100-199): 20% discount
- Studio ($200+): 30% discount
Check your tier: GET https://studiomcphub.com/api/agent/tier/{wallet_address}
### Loyalty Rewards
Every paid tool call earns 5% credit-back as loyalty GCX credits.
Credits accrue automatically per wallet — no sign-up needed.
Non-transferable, no expiration, redeemable for any tool.
Check balance: GET https://studiomcphub.com/api/loyalty/{wallet_address}
