    Agent 37▲401

    Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

    x402▲119

    Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

    The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

    Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

    Your AI agent is burning 6x more tokens than it needs to just to browse the web. We built OpenBrowser MCP to fix that. Most browser MCPs give the LLM dozens of tools: click, scroll, type, extract, navigate. Each call dumps the entire page accessibility tree into the context window. One Wikipedia page? 124K+ tokens. Every. Single. Call. OpenBrowser works differently. It exposes one tool. Your agent writes Python code, and OpenBrowser executes it in a persistent runtime with full browser access. The agent controls what comes back. No bloated page dumps. No wasted tokens. Just the data your…

    Agents can talk, code, and browse… but until now, they couldn’t accept money. We built PayDroid, a universal checkout for AI agents. It routes through the merchant’s own processor (starting with PayPal, Stripe coming soon), so there’s no license, no custody, and no messy integration work. Developers just integrate once, and agents get a frictionless callback flow that works everywhere. Demo (live with PayPal): https://demo.paydroid.ai Docs: https://paydroid.ai Would love feedback — what would you sell through your agent?

    I’m the developer behind the Web MCP at Bright Data. We just launched a free tier so any AI Engineer/ Vibe coder can give their LLM real web access — 5,000 requests/month at no cost. Unlike most MCP servers that wrap a single SaaS API (e.g. Gmail, GitHub), the Web MCP wraps the entire internet. It handles JS-heavy sites, auto-solves CAPTCHAs, and returns clean Markdown your model can use. Free tier includes: search_engine → search results from Google/Bing/Yandex scrape_as_markdown → fetch any URL as clean, LLM-friendly Markdown (with CAPTCHA handling) Quick start:…

    I built AgentWeb - a free, structured business directory API designed specifically for AI agents. The problem: AI agents that need real-world business data (phone numbers, emails, hours, addresses) have to either scrape Google (which blocks them) or parse random websites (unreliable). There's no clean data layer for agents to query. What AgentWeb does: 11M+ businesses across 195 countries Full-text + geo search (PostGIS-powered, <50ms) Clean JSON with trust scores and confidence ratings MCP server for Claude Desktop (npx agentweb-mcp) Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain function calling…
