Vercel AI SDK
agent402-ai-sdk · npm · MIT
Gives a Vercel AI SDK agent four meta tools that reach the whole catalog: the model describes a task, agent402_find or agent402_route picks the tool, and agent402_call runs and pays for it. Works with generateText and streamText on any provider the SDK supports.
Install
npm install agent402-ai-sdk ai zod
Example
import { agent402Tools } from "agent402-ai-sdk";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const tools = await agent402Tools(); // free tier: proof-of-work, no wallet
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai("gpt-4o"),
tools,
prompt: "Hash 'hello world' with sha256",
});
What it exposes
agent402_find: a plain-language task in, the best-matching tools out (slug, route, price, input schema, a ready example).agent402_route: ranks tools across every indexed x402 seller;include: "external"leaves this server out.agent402_call: calls a tool by slug and pays for it.agent402_about: the service manifest (payment options, capability map, MCP connector).agent402ToolSpecs()returns the same four as framework-agnostic specs (name, description, JSON Schema, execute) with no framework dependency.
How payment works
- Pure-CPU tools:
agent402_callfetches a proof-of-work challenge and solves it in-process, so no wallet is needed. - Wallet-only tools: pass
fetch, a payment-wrapped fetch.@x402/fetchpays in USDC over x402 on whichever chain your wallet is funded for; a stockmppxfetch pays over MPP. - Unpaid lookups (find, route, about) use
fetchImpland never spend anything.
const tools = await agent402Tools({ fetch: payFetch }); // an x402- or MPP-wrapped fetch
A call that fails is not charged: settlement runs after the tool and only on a successful response. Background: What x402 is · MPP (Machine Payments Protocol).
