AgentPay - BTC-Native AI Agent Payment Protocol

Give every AI Agent a wallet. Let Agents pay each other - instantly, with zero fees.

AgentPay is a BTC-native payment protocol designed for AI Agent economies. Built on CKB Fiber Network (Lightning-compatible L2), it enables:

• Zero-gas micropayments - Pay per API call, no minimum amount
• Hold Invoice escrow - Lock funds until service delivery is confirmed
• BTC interoperability - Cross-chain payments via Lightning Network
• MCP integration - Let Claude/GPT agents make payments natively

Quick Start

Install

npm install @agentpay-dev/sdk @agentpay-dev/core

Create a Payment Agent

import { AgentWallet } from '@agentpay-dev/sdk';

const wallet = new AgentWallet({ fiberRpcUrl: process.env.FIBER_RPC_URL });

// Pay another agent for a service
const result = await wallet.payAndCall(
  'https://translator-agent.example.com',
  'translate',
  { text: 'Hello World', target: 'zh' }
);

Scaffold a New Project

npx create-agentpay my-agent
cd my-agent && npm install

Key Features

Hold Invoice - Trustless Escrow

The killer feature. Agent A locks payment, Agent B delivers, funds release only on confirmation:

import { ServiceProvider } from '@agentpay-dev/sdk';

const provider = new ServiceProvider({
  fiberRpcUrl: process.env.FIBER_RPC_URL,
  services: {
    translate: {
      price: 100_000_000n,  // 1 CKB per request
      handler: async (params) => {
        const result = await doTranslation(params.text, params.target);
        return { translation: result };
      }
    }
  }
});

// Hold flow: Lock -> Deliver -> Release (atomic)
// If service fails, funds auto-refund via HTLC timeout

MCP Server - AI-Native Payments

Registered on the official MCP Registry as io.github.alefnt/agentpay.

Add to Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentpay": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@agentpay-dev/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "FIBER_RPC_URL": "http://localhost:8227" }
    }
  }
}

8 MCP Tools:

x402 HTTP Compatibility

Any HTTP API becomes a paid API with one middleware:

import { createX402Middleware } from '@agentpay-dev/x402-facilitator';

const paywall = createX402Middleware({ price: '100000000' });

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  paywall(req, res, () => {
    res.end(JSON.stringify({ data: 'premium content' }));
  });
});
// Client: HTTP 402 -> pay Fiber invoice -> retry -> get content

BTC Cross-Chain

Pay with BTC, settle on CKB via Lightning-Fiber bridge:

import { CchClient } from '@agentpay-dev/core';

const cch = new CchClient({ cchRpcUrl: process.env.CCH_RPC_URL });

await cch.sendBtcToCkb({
  btcPayReq: 'lnbc100n1p...',
  fiberChannelId: '0x...',
});
