Show HN: X402 Agent Starter Kit: AI agents that pay for their own APIs

https://gitlab.com/artificial-lab/x402-agent-starter
2•peiyaooo•1h ago
Hey HN, we built a set of production-ready AI agent templates with x402 micropayments baked in.

The problem: agents that need multiple APIs face signup/KYC/key-management overhead that doesn’t scale. x402 replaces all of that with HTTP-native payments.

Currently supporting USDC on Base, more integrations soon.

The kit includes 5 agent templates (web scraper, image gen, search, translation, code review). Clone, configure a wallet, run. 93 tests passing. Built on Coinbase Developer Platform.

This is the first project from our “1 app per week” studio experiment.

Repo: https://gitlab.com/artificial-lab/x402-agent-starter Docs: https://x402-kit.vercel.app Protocol: https://x402.org

Would love feedback on the architecture and the agent templates. What x402 use cases would you want to see next?
