Pay $0.01 via MPP

HTTP 402 · Tempo network · no account required

MPP is the open Machine Payments Protocol — your agent pays per request inside the same HTTP call. No card, no Stripe, no email. The server returns 402 with a challenge, your client signs a payment, the retry returns the recipe in markdown plus a Payment-Receipt header.

For agents (one command)

# one-time setup
npx mppx account create
npx mppx account fund     # testnet faucet

# pay $0.01 and stream the recipe to stdout
npx mppx https://profit-recipe-mpp-silk.vercel.app/api/buy

For TypeScript apps (polyfilled fetch)

import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'

Mppx.create({ methods: [tempo({ account: privateKeyToAccount('0x...') })] })

const res = await fetch('https://profit-recipe-mpp-silk.vercel.app/api/buy') // auto-pays on 402
const recipe = await res.text()

For humans (curl, see the 402 challenge)

curl -i https://profit-recipe-mpp-silk.vercel.app/api/buy
# → HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
# → WWW-Authenticate: Payment ...

Or open /api/buy in a browser — the SDK auto-renders a payment page for you.

Regulated supply, free market demand

The buy-side has a fixed MSRP enforced by the licensor. The sell-side is a Western collector market with no price ceiling. The spread is structural.

Information, not access

No raffle, no bot war. Whoever knows the right SKU, the right forwarder, and the right listing strategy wins. That's what's in the markdown.

Datable, not perpetual

The decay date is in the recipe. You don't pay for evergreen wisdom — you pay for a live edge that's open today.
