Interline Routes MCP Server

Interline — agent-to-agent payment router

An agent-to-agent payment router: one agent does work, another agent pays for it, no human keys a card. Interline is a neutral, non-custodial router over the fragmented agent-payment-rail stack — "OpenRouter for agent payments." Built on x402 (HTTP-402 micropayments, USDC), aggregator-shaped so adding a rail is one adapter, not a rewrite.

Today it routes payments across three live rails — x402 USDC on EVM (Base Sepolia) and on Solana (devnet), plus MPP on Tempo (Moderato testnet) — all behind one Paywall.gate() call. Real on-chain agent-to-agent settles are confirmed on all three. It ships an MCP router so agents can discover + pay endpoints, and includes a Google-AP2 inbound adapter — a signed AP2 mandate (verified, constraint-checked + freshness-gated) settles non-custodially on the rails.

Run the demo (no wallet, no faucet, no risk)

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 run_demo.py

Expected: DEMO PASS — agent paid agent, settlement receipt issued.

What just happened (the x402 "exact-evm" loop):

buyer GET /work
  -> seller 402 + PaymentRequirements {amount, asset=USDC, payTo, network}
  -> buyer signs an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization (gasless USDC auth)
  -> buyer retries with X-PAYMENT header (base64 signed payload)
  -> facilitator VERIFIES the signature (real signer-recovery) + checks policy
  -> facilitator SETTLES (mock: fake tx hash; live: on-chain USDC transfer)
  -> seller 200 + work product + X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE receipt (tx hash)

The facilitator's verify step is real cryptography even in mock mode — it recovers the EIP-712 signer and matches it to the authorization. Only the on-chain broadcast is mocked. So a passing demo proves the buyer's signing is protocol-correct against real USDC.

Go live (Base Sepolia testnet)

1. Two testnet wallets (buyer signs, seller receives):

   python3 -c "from eth_account import Account; a=Account.create(); print('addr', a.address); print('key', a.key.hex())"
   

   Do this twice. Keep the keys out of git (use .env).

2. Fund the buyer with Base Sepolia testnet USDC (Circle faucet) + a little testnet ETH for any gas the facilitator relays.

3. .env (copy .env.example → .env, it's gitignored + auto-loaded):

   APV0_NETWORK=base-sepolia
   APV0_BUYER_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...        # buyer testnet key (signs)
   APV0_SELLER_ADDRESS=0x...           # seller address (receives)
   APV0_FACILITATOR_URL=https://x402.org/facilitator
   

4. Run it live:

   python3 run_live.py
   

   The seller now uses RealFacilitator (the x402 SDK's own facilitator client), the buyer auto-pays the 402, and x402.org broadcasts the EIP-3009 USDC transfer on-chain. You get a real tx hash → https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/<hash>.

   Gasless: with EIP-3009 the facilitator relays gas, so the buyer only needs testnet USDC, not ETH.

Gate your own endpoint (the product primitive)

from router.paywall import Paywall
from router.facilitator_real import get_facilitator

paywall = Paywall(get_facilitator(), my_requirements_fn)   # mock ↔ real by env

@app.get("/my-endpoint")
def my_endpoint(request: Request):
    return paywall.gate(request, lambda: do_expensive_work())

That one .gate() call handles the whole x402 V2 dance — 402 challenge → verify → settle → record receipt → deliver — and appends every settlement to the receipt-ledger. The deployer never touches the protocol or holds a key.

v1 dogfood — pay an agent, get REAL work back

v0 proved the payment. v1 proves the loop: a buyer agent pays → a seller agent does real inference → returns the result + a settlement receipt. The seller's _do_the_work(task) is the product's integration point (plug in your own model/compute/service).

APV0_OPENROUTER_KEY=sk-or-... python3 run_v1_dogfood.py "your task here"

→ V1 DOGFOOD PASS — agent paid agent for real work ✅ (mock payment + real model call by default; set APV0_NETWORK=base-sepolia for a real on-chain settle under the same loop). Without a key it returns a stub so the product still runs.

This is the authentic loop: an agent doing real work, metered + paid-for over x402 — the same primitive whether the work is a model call, a compute job, or any other billable agent task.
