What the publisher says
From the HTTP 402 AI Tollbooth repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
HTTP 402 AI Tollbooth
Agent-ready developer troubleshooting data, sold per request over Bitcoin Lightning.
Live: https://http-402-ai-tollbooth.rsaun-lightning.workers.dev
HTTP 402 AI Tollbooth gives developers and AI agents three useful records free, then unlocks complete structured datasets with a BOLT11 Lightning payment. There are no accounts, subscriptions, credit cards, or API keys.
This is a public, documentation and example repository. The production Worker implementation remains private and is not included here.
Try it now
List the complete catalog:
curl -sS https://http-402-ai-tollbooth.rsaun-lightning.workers.dev/api/catalogPreview exactly three records without payment:
curl -sS https://http-402-ai-tollbooth.rsaun-lightning.workers.dev/api/preview/api-error-fixesRequest the full product and receive an HTTP 402 Lightning challenge:
curl -i https://http-402-ai-tollbooth.rsaun-lightning.workers.dev/api/data/api-error-fixesThe last command creates an invoice. Do not run it unless you intentionally want a payment challenge; simply requesting it does not spend sats.
Why agents use it
- 203 products across DevOps, APIs, ML/AI, Web/Frontend, and Databases
- Entry, Standard, and Premium datasets with 50, 100, or 200 records
- Exactly three free records per product for try-before-you-buy discovery
- Stable errorcode, description, and programmaticfix fields
- HTTP 402 and Bitcoin Lightning payments without user accounts
- OpenAPI 3.1, MCP discovery metadata, and llms.txt
- Deterministic fallback generation for resilient dataset delivery
- Durable one-time redemption and replay protection
- Future x402 settlement is documented but remains disabled pending verification

How to pay
- Request a paid product endpoint.
- Receive 402 Payment Required with a BOLT11 invoice and payment hash.
- Pay the invoice in a Lightning wallet.
- Retry the same endpoint with X-Payment-Hash and X-Payment-Preimage.
- Receive the full dataset once; replayed proofs are rejected.
Never publish or share a payment preimage before using it for its intended redemption. Future Solana USDC/x402 support is disabled until its manual verification process is completed.

Connect an MCP client to https://http-402-ai-tollbooth.rsaun-lightning.workers.dev/mcp. The server supports listproducts, previewproduct, listpaymentmethods, and buy_product. The last tool only returns payment directions and an HTTP 402 challenge; it never pays an invoice or creates a purchase on the caller's behalf.
For a complete no-payment example, see the Node agent recovery sample.
