MoltsPay

npm version TypeScript

Blockchain payment infrastructure for AI Agents. Turn any skill into a paid service with one JSON file.

MoltsPay enables agent-to-agent commerce using the x402 protocol - HTTP-native payments where AI agents can pay each other for services without human intervention. Built on USDC stablecoins with gasless transactions powered by Coinbase CDP.

Why MoltsPay?

Problem MoltsPay Solution
AI agents can't pay for services x402 protocol - HTTP 402 Payment Required flow
Blockchain payments need gas Gasless - CDP facilitator handles all gas fees
Complex wallet integration One JSON file - add moltspay.services.json to any skill
Payment verification is hard Automatic on-chain verification included

Features

  • Skill Integration - Add moltspay.services.json to any existing skill
  • x402 Protocol - HTTP-native payments (402 Payment Required)
  • Gasless - Both client and server pay no gas (facilitators handle it)
  • Payment Verification - Automatic on-chain verification
  • Secure Wallet - Spending limits, whitelist, and audit logging
  • Multi-chain - Base, Polygon, Solana, BNB, Tempo (mainnet & testnet)
  • Agent-to-Agent - Complete A2A payment flow support
  • Multi-VM - EVM chains + Solana (SVM) with unified API
  • MCP Server - Expose wallet + payments to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP hosts

Installation

npm install moltspay@latest

Quick Start

For Service Providers (Selling)

1. Have an existing skill with exported functions:

// index.js (your existing skill)
export async function textToVideo({ prompt }) {
  // your implementation
  return { video_url: "https://..." };
}

2. Add moltspay.services.json:

{
  "provider": {
    "name": "My Video Service",
    "wallet": "0xYOUR_EVM_WALLET_ADDRESS",
    "solana_wallet": "YOUR_SOLANA_ADDRESS",
    "chains": ["base", "polygon", "solana", "bnb"]
  },
  "services": [{
    "id": "text-to-video",
    "function": "textToVideo",
    "price": 0.99,
    "currency": "USDC"
  }]
}

Note: solana_wallet is optional - only needed if accepting Solana payments.

3. Start server:

npx moltspay start ./my-skill --port 3000

That's it! Your skill now accepts x402 payments.

For Clients (Buying)

1. Initialize wallet (one time):

npx moltspay init                  # EVM wallet (Base, Polygon, BNB, etc.)
npx moltspay init --chain solana   # Solana wallet (mainnet & devnet)

2. Fund your wallet (US users):

npx moltspay fund 5
# Opens Coinbase Pay - use debit card or Apple Pay
# USDC arrives in < 1 minutes. No ETH needed!

Or send USDC directly to your wallet address from any exchange.

3. Use paid services:

# Pay on Base (default)
npx moltspay pay https://server.com text-to-video --prompt "a cat dancing"

# Pay on Polygon
npx moltspay pay https://server.com text-to-video --chain polygon --prompt "a cat dancing"

Testnet Quick Start

Want to test before using real money? Use our testnet faucets:

# 1. Create wallet (if you don't have one)
npx moltspay init                  # EVM wallet (Base, Polygon, BNB, etc.)
npx moltspay init --chain solana   # Solana wallet (mainnet & devnet)

# 2. Get free testnet tokens (pick one or all!)
npx moltspay faucet                        # Base Sepolia (1 USDC, once per 24h)
npx moltspay faucet --chain solana_devnet  # Solana devnet (1 USDC)
npx moltspay faucet --chain bnb_testnet    # BNB testnet (1 USDC + 0.001 tBNB for gas)
npx moltspay faucet --chain tempo_moderato # Tempo testnet (1 pathUSD)

# 3. Test payments on different chains
# Base Sepolia (CDP, gasless)
npx moltspay pay https://moltspay.com/a/zen7 text-to-video \
  --chain base_sepolia --prompt "a robot dancing"

# Solana devnet (SPL transfer)
npx moltspay pay https://moltspay.com/a/zen7 text-to-video \
  --chain solana_devnet --prompt "a cat playing piano"

# BNB testnet (gas sponsored)
npx moltspay pay https://moltspay.com/a/zen7 text-to-video \
  --chain bnb_testnet --prompt "a sunset timelapse"

# Tempo Moderato (gas-free, MPP protocol)
npx moltspay pay https://server.com service-id \
  --chain tempo_moderato --prompt "test"

For Web Apps (Browser)

moltspay@1.6.0 adds a browser client. Connect any EIP-1193 wallet (MetaMask, Rainbow, Frame, …) for EVM or a @solana/wallet-adapter wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, …) for Solana and pay for x402 services directly from the page — no private key ever in browser memory, no CLI wrapper.

Install:

npm install moltspay

Pay with MetaMask:

import { MoltsPayWebClient, eip1193Signer } from 'moltspay/web';

const client = new MoltsPayWebClient({
  signer: eip1193Signer(window.ethereum),
});

// Discover what the provider accepts
const { provider, services } = await client.getServices('https://provider.example.com');

// Run a paid call — user sees one wallet signature prompt
const result = await client.pay(
  'https://provider.example.com',
  'text-to-video',
  { prompt: 'a cat dancing' },
  { chain: 'base' }
);

Pay with Phantom (Solana):

import { MoltsPayWebClient, solanaSigner } from 'moltspay/web';
import { useWallet } from '@solana/wallet-adapter-react';

const wallet = useWallet();
const client = new MoltsPayWebClient({ signer: solanaSigner(wallet) });

await client.pay(serverUrl, 'text-to-video', params, { chain: 'solana_devnet' });

EVM + Solana in one client — use composeSigners so the same MoltsPayWebClient instance routes to whichever signer matches the picked chain:

import { MoltsPayWebClient, composeSigners, eip1193Signer, solanaSigner } from 'moltspay/web';

const client = new MoltsPayWebClient({
  signer: composeSigners(
    eip1193Signer(window.ethereum),
    solanaSigner(phantomAdapter),
  ),
});

Chain coverage. All 8 chains the CLI supports work from the browser with one signature prompt each:

Chain Scheme User gas? Notes
base / polygon / base_sepolia EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization No (gasless) Provider submits on success
tempo_moderato EIP-2612 permit No (gasless) Browser never switches to Tempo; server's settler submits permit + transferFrom
bnb / bnb_testnet MoltsPay PaymentIntent One-time approve Call client.approveBnb({ chain, spender, token }) once, then intent signatures are gasless
solana / solana_devnet SPL transfer No if provider sets a fee payer wallet.signTransaction signs, provider submits

BNB approval flow. The first payment on BNB throws NeedsApprovalError with the details needed to approve — catch it, call approveBnb(), and retry:

try {
  await client.pay(url, service, params, { chain: 'bnb' });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof NeedsApprovalError) {
    await client.approveBnb({
      chain: 'bnb',
      spender: err.details.spender,
      token: err.details.token,
    });
    // User paid ~0.001 BNB gas for the approve. Retry now succeeds without further approve.
    await client.pay(url, service, params, { chain: 'bnb' });
  }
}

Tempo note. Tempo Moderato pathUSD is a native precompile that implements EIP-2612 permit but not EIP-3009. The web client dispatches to the permit path automatically when the server advertises scheme: "permit". The user signs typed data; the provider's settler submits the permit() + transferFrom() transactions on-chain. MetaMask never prompts for a chain switch because the browser wallet doesn't touch Tempo at all.

Solana mainnet RPC. The public api.mainnet-beta.solana.com endpoint returns 403 to browser requests, so any Solana-mainnet traffic needs an authenticated RPC. Supply one via solanaRpc:

const client = new MoltsPayWebClient({
  signer: composeSigners(
    eip1193Signer(window.ethereum),
    solanaSigner(phantomAdapter),
  ),
  solanaRpc: {
    solana: 'https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_KEY',
    // solana_devnet falls back to `api.devnet.solana.com` automatically
  },
});

Accepts any Helius / QuickNode / Alchemy / Triton / self-hosted URL. Per-chain — override only solana if you only use mainnet. Devnet (api.devnet.solana.com) still serves browsers and does not need an override.

Error classes — every error exposes a code field so you can branch without string-matching:

import {
  NeedsApprovalError,        // code: 'NEEDS_APPROVAL'       — BNB, call approveBnb()
  UnsupportedChainError,     // code: 'UNSUPPORTED_CHAIN'    — user picked a chain the server doesn't accept
  PaymentRejectedError,      // code: 'PAYMENT_REJECTED'     — user cancelled in the wallet
  InsufficientBalanceError,  // code: 'INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE' — not enough native gas for BNB approve
  SpendingLimitExceededError,// code: 'SPENDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED' — only when you opt in to SpendingLedger
  ServerError,               // code: 'SERVER_ERROR'         — provider returned non-2xx
  MoltsPayError,             // base class
} from 'moltspay/web';

Spending limits (opt-in). Off by default. External wallets already prompt per-signature; per-browser localStorage limits don't sync across devices. If you want a session-level cap anyway:

const client = new MoltsPayWebClient({
  signer: eip1193Signer(window.ethereum),
  spendingLimits: { maxPerTx: 5, maxPerDay: 50 },
});

Provider CORS. Providers must enable CORS on MoltsPayServer for browser callers — without it the 402 challenge header is invisible to the browser:

new MoltsPayServer({
  // ...
  cors: true,                              // allow all origins, or
  cors: ['https://myapp.example.com'],     // explicit allowlist, or
  cors: { origins: [...], maxAge: 86400 }, // fine-grained
});

Servers advertising for the web need cors enabled; CLI callers are unaffected either way.

Security posture. No private key ever enters browser memory. No filesystem access, no ~/.moltspay/ — the wallet is always external. The signer object the client receives only has permission to sign typed data and (for BNB) submit one approve transaction, which the user explicitly confirms in the wallet UI.

Reference demo. examples/web/ is a runnable React + Vite app that exercises every path above. cd examples/web && npm install && npm run dev — it connects to https://moltspay.com/a/zen7 by default. See examples/web/README.md for the full matrix of tested wallets + chains.

MCP Server (For AI Assistants)

MoltsPay ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio server that lets MCP-compatible hosts (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Zed, etc.) browse services, check wallet status, and pay for x402 services on your behalf.

It is a thin wrapper around MoltsPayClient — wallet custody, spending limits, and all payment protocols (x402, MPP, Solana, BNB) are reused from the SDK.

Setup

1. Create a wallet and set spending limits (the MCP server refuses to start without a wallet):

npx moltspay init
npx moltspay config --max-per-tx 2 --max-per-day 10
npx moltspay fund 5    # or: npx moltspay faucet for testnet

2. Point your MCP host at the moltspay-mcp binary over stdio:

npx -y moltspay-mcp              # normal mode
npx -y moltspay-mcp --dry-run    # preview payments without signing

Each host has its own config file for registering stdio MCP servers — check your host's docs for the exact location. For a safer first run, use --dry-run so moltspay_pay returns a preview instead of spending real funds.

Tools

Tool What it does Destructive?
moltspay_status Wallet address, balances across all supported chains, spending limits No
moltspay_services Fetch services manifest from a provider URL; optional query/maxPrice filter No
moltspay_pay Execute an x402/MPP/SOL/BNB payment and return the service result Yes
moltspay_config Read or update maxPerTx / maxPerDay limits Updates config file

Safety Layers

moltspay_pay is the only tool that moves money. Three guards stack on top of the MCP host's own tool-approval prompt:

  1. SDK spending limitsmaxPerTx / maxPerDay enforced before signing.
  2. Dry-run mode — launch with --dry-run and payments return a preview instead of signing.
  3. Confirmation gate — set MOLTSPAY_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRM=1 to require a second tool call (confirmed: true) for any payment exceeding maxPerTx / 10.

Private keys and mnemonics are never exposed over MCP — wallet creation stays on the CLI (npx moltspay init) by design. See docs/MCP-USAGE.md for full tool arguments and troubleshooting.

Payment Protocols

MoltsPay supports multiple payment protocols, each optimized for different chains:

Protocol Chains Gas Description
x402 + CDP Base, Polygon Gasless (CDP pays) HTTP 402 + EIP-3009 signatures
x402 + SOL Solana Gasless (server pays) HTTP 402 + SPL transfer
x402 + BNB BNB Gasless (server pays) HTTP 402 + EIP-712 intent signing
MPP Tempo Gas-free native HTTP 402 + WWW-Authenticate

How x402 Protocol Works

Client                         Server                      CDP Facilitator
  |                              |                              |
  | POST /execute                |                              |

  |                              |                              |
  | 402 + payment requirements   |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | [Sign EIP-3009 - NO GAS]     |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | POST + X-Payment header      |                              |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   | Verify signature             |
  |                              | -------------------------------------------------->   |
  |                              |                              |
  |                              | Execute transfer (pays gas)  |
  |                              | <--------------------------------------------------   |
  |                              |                              |
  | 200 OK + result              |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |

Key insight: Client signs a payment authorization, server submits it. Neither party pays gas - the CDP facilitator handles settlement.

How MPP Protocol Works (Tempo)

MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) is simpler - client executes the transfer directly:

Client                         Server
  |                              |
  | POST /service                |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   |
  |                              |
  | 402 + WWW-Authenticate       |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |
  |                              |
  | [Execute TIP-20 transfer]    |
  | [No gas needed on Tempo]     |
  |                              |
  | POST + Authorization: Payment|
  | -------------------------------------------------->   |
  |                              |
  | [Server verifies on-chain]   |
  |                              |
  | 200 OK + Payment-Receipt     |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |

Key insight: On Tempo, the client executes the transfer directly (gas-free), then retries with the transaction hash. No CDP facilitator needed.

How Solana Protocol Works

Client                         Server (Fee Payer)          Solana Network
  |                              |                              |
  | POST /execute                |                              |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | 402 + payment requirements   |                              |
  | (includes solana_wallet)     |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | [Sign SPL Transfer]          |                              |
  | [NO GAS - just signing]      |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | POST + X-Payment (signature) |                              |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   | Execute transfer             |
  |                              | (server pays ~$0.001 SOL)    |
  |                              | -------------------------------------------------->   |
  |                              |                              |
  | 200 OK + result              |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |

Key insight: Client only signs the SPL transfer (gasless). Server acts as fee payer and executes the transaction on-chain.

How BNB Protocol Works

Client                         Server                      BNB Network
  |                              |                              |
  | POST /execute                |                              |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | 402 + payment requirements   |                              |
  | (includes bnbSpender)        |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | [Sign EIP-712 intent]        |                              |
  | [NO GAS - just signing]      |                              |
  |                              |                              |
  | POST + X-Payment (signature) |                              |
  | -------------------------------------------------->   | Execute transferFrom         |
  |                              | (server pays ~$0.0001 gas)   |
  |                              | -------------------------------------------------->   |
  |                              |                              |
  | 200 OK + result              |                              |
  | <--------------------------------------------------   |                              |

Key insight: Client only signs an intent (gasless). Server executes the actual transfer and pays the minimal gas (~$0.0001). This is the "pay-for-success" model - payment only happens if service succeeds.

Skill Structure

MoltsPay reads your skill's existing structure:

my-skill/
+------ package.json           # MoltsPay reads "main" field
+------ index.js               # Your existing exports
+------ moltspay.services.json # Only file you add!

Your functions stay untouched. Just add the JSON config.

Services Manifest Schema

{

  "provider": {
    "name": "Service Name",
    "description": "Optional description",

}

Multi-Chain Configuration

Accept payments on multiple chains by specifying a chains array:

{
  "provider": {
    "wallet": "0x...",
    "chains": ["base", "polygon"]
  }
}

Clients can then choose which chain to pay on:

npx moltspay pay https://server.com service-id --chain polygon --prompt "..."

If no --chain is specified, the client uses the first chain in the provider's list.

Validate Your Config

npx moltspay validate ./my-skill

3. Configure chains in your manifest:

{
  "provider": {
    "wallet": "0x...",
    "chains": [
      { "chain": "base", "network": "eip155:8453", "tokens": ["USDC"] },
      { "chain": "base_sepolia", "network": "eip155:84532", "tokens": ["USDC"] }
    ]
  }
}

4. Start server:

npx moltspay start ./my-skill --port 3000

Server does NOT need a private key - the x402 facilitator handles settlement.

Chain Auto-Detection

The server automatically detects which chain to verify payments on based on the client's payment header:

  • Client pays with --chain base -> Server verifies on Base mainnet
  • Client pays with --chain base_sepolia -> Server verifies on Base Sepolia

No USE_MAINNET env var needed! Just configure your accepted chains in the manifest.

Testnet Setup (Providers)

To accept testnet payments, add base_sepolia to your chains array:

{
  "provider": {
    "wallet": "0x...",
    "chains": ["base", "base_sepolia"]
  }
}

Clients can then pay using --chain base_sepolia and get free testnet USDC via npx moltspay faucet.

Programmatic Usage

Client

import { MoltsPayClient } from 'moltspay/client';

// Initialize client (uses wallet from ~/.moltspay/wallet.json)
const client = new MoltsPayClient();

// Standard service call (params wrapped in { params: {...} })
const result = await client.pay(
  'https://server.com',
  'text-to-video',
  { prompt: 'a cat dancing' },
  { chain: 'base' }
);

console.log(result.video_url);

Custom Input Formats (rawData)

Some services have custom input formats instead of the standard { params: { prompt } }. Use rawData: true to send your data at the top level:

// Service expects: { text: "...", target_lang: "..." }
// NOT: { params: { text: "...", target_lang: "..." } }

const result = await client.pay(
  'https://server.com',
  'translate',
  { text: 'Hello world', target_lang: 'es' },
  { 
    chain: 'base_sepolia',
    rawData: true  // Send data at top level
  }
);

// Server receives: { service: "translate", text: "Hello world", target_lang: "es", chain: "base_sepolia" }

PayOptions Reference

interface PayOptions {
  token?: 'USDC' | 'USDT';     // Token to pay with (default: USDC)
  autoSelect?: boolean;         // Auto-select token based on balance
  chain?: string;               // Chain: base, polygon, solana, bnb, tempo_moderato, + testnets
  rawData?: boolean;            // Send data at top level (for custom input formats)
}

CLI Equivalent

# Standard format (uses { params: { prompt } })
npx moltspay pay https://server.com text-to-video --prompt "a cat dancing"

# Custom format (uses rawData, sends at top level)
npx moltspay pay https://server.com translate --data '{"text": "Hello", "target_lang": "es"}'

Server

import { MoltsPayServer } from 'moltspay/server';

const server = new MoltsPayServer('./moltspay.services.json');

// Register custom handler (optional - usually loaded from skill)
server.skill('text-to-video', async (params) => {
  // implementation
  return { video_url: '...' };
});

server.listen(3000);

Supported Chains

Chain ID Type Facilitator Gas Model
Base 8453 Mainnet CDP Gasless (CDP pays)
Polygon 137 Mainnet CDP Gasless (CDP pays)
Base Sepolia 84532 Testnet CDP Gasless (CDP pays)
Solana - Mainnet SOL Gasless (server pays)
Solana Devnet - Testnet SOL Gasless (server pays)
BNB 56 Mainnet BNB Gasless (server pays)
BNB Testnet 97 Testnet BNB Gasless (server pays)
Tempo Moderato 42431 Testnet Tempo Gas-free native

Notes:

  • Ethereum mainnet NOT recommended (gas too expensive)
  • Each chain uses a specialized facilitator for optimal UX

Facilitator Architecture

A facilitator is the entity that executes the on-chain payment and pays the gas fees. MoltsPay supports two types:

Type Facilitator Who Pays Gas? Trust Model
External CDP (Coinbase) Coinbase Trust Coinbase infrastructure
Self-hosted SOL, BNB, Tempo Your server Trust your own server

External Facilitator (CDP):

  • Uses Coinbase Developer Platform as a third-party settlement service
  • Coinbase handles all on-chain execution and gas fees
  • Requires CDP API credentials
  • Supported chains: Base, Polygon

Self-hosted Facilitator (SOL, BNB, Tempo):

  • Your MoltsPay server acts as the facilitator
  • Server pays gas fees (~$0.001 per tx)
  • No external dependency - fully self-sovereign
  • You control the entire payment flow

Why Self-hosted is More Decentralized:

Aspect CDP (External) Self-hosted
Single point of failure Coinbase down = everyone stuck Each provider independent
Censorship risk Coinbase can block accounts Cannot be censored
Dependency Relies on third-party Fully autonomous

This self-hosted approach is a key innovation: any service provider can become their own facilitator without relying on third-party infrastructure. Unlike CDP where all users depend on Coinbase, self-hosted facilitators create a truly decentralized network with no single point of failure.

Note: Clients never need to know the facilitator's private keys. They only sign their own payments - the facilitator handles settlement transparently.

Facilitators Explained

Facilitator Chains How It Works
CDP Base, Polygon Client signs EIP-3009, Coinbase executes transfer
SOL Solana Client signs SPL transfer, server executes as fee payer
BNB BNB Client signs EIP-712 intent, server executes transfer
Tempo Tempo Moderato Client executes TIP-20 transfer (native gas-free)

Solana Support

Solana uses the SolanaFacilitator with SPL token transfers. Key differences:

  • Gasless for users - Server acts as fee payer (~$0.001 SOL per tx)
  • Separate wallet - Solana uses ed25519 keys (different from EVM's secp256k1)
  • Wallet stored at ~/.moltspay/wallet-solana.json
  • Token - Official Circle USDC SPL token
# Initialize includes Solana wallet automatically
npx moltspay init

# Check Solana balance
npx moltspay status

# Get free devnet USDC
npx moltspay faucet --chain solana_devnet

# Pay on Solana
npx moltspay pay https://server.com service-id --chain solana --prompt "test"

USDC Addresses:

Network Mint Address
Mainnet EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v
Devnet 4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GAgXhaHii3GnPAEERYPJgZJDncDU

BNB Chain Support

BNB uses the BNBFacilitator with a pre-approval flow. Since CDP doesn't support BNB, we use a different approach:

  1. Client signs an EIP-712 payment intent (no gas needed)
  2. Server validates and executes the transfer
  3. Server sponsors gas (~$0.0001 per tx)
# Get free testnet USDC + tBNB for gas
npx moltspay faucet --chain bnb_testnet

# Pay on BNB (client pays no gas!)
npx moltspay pay https://server.com service-id --chain bnb_testnet --prompt "test"

# Check BNB balance
npx moltspay status

Important: BNB tokens use 18 decimals (not 6 like Base/Polygon).

Token Addresses (BNB Mainnet):

Token Address
USDC 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d
USDT 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955

Tempo Testnet

Tempo Moderato is a gas-free testnet that supports the MPP (Machine Payments Protocol). Perfect for testing agent-to-agent payments without any gas fees.

Tempo Stablecoins:

  • pathUSD (USDC equivalent): 0x20c0000000000000000000000000000000000000
  • alphaUSD (USDT equivalent): 0x20c0000000000000000000000000000000000001
# Get free Tempo testnet tokens
npx moltspay faucet --chain tempo_moderato

# Pay on Tempo (gas-free!)
npx moltspay pay https://server.com service-id --chain tempo_moderato --prompt "test"

# Check Tempo balance
npx moltspay status
