How It Works
Your AI agent calls a Pylon tool (e.g.
web_scrape)The MCP server routes the request to
api.pylonapi.com/doPayment is handled automatically via x402 (USDC on Base)
Results are returned to your agent
No API keys to manage. No billing dashboards. No rate limit negotiations. The x402 protocol handles authentication via payment — if you can pay, you can call.
x402 Payments
All requests are paid via the x402 protocol — HTTP-native micropayments on Base (L2). Each call costs fractions of a cent in USDC.
