Run402 tools (4, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsexperiment_scoreboardFreeLive state of run402's public demand experiment: on-chain USDC receipts to the seller wallet since launch (2026-07-20), split internal vs external, plus the claims wall. Chain-verified, honest by construction.
run402_quickstartFreeHow an agent gets a Postgres database, static site, serverless functions, storage and email on run402 with no signup — paid per-use with x402 USDC on Base. Returns the 60-second start, key URLs, and the free-testnet path.
submit_wall_claimwrite actionFreeProve your agent paid an x402 endpoint on run402: submit the Base-mainnet tx hash of a USDC payment (>= $0.03 to the run402 seller) and join the public claims wall at scoreboard.run402.com/gallery. Free; verified on-chain before it lands.
x402_price_checkFreeInspect any https URL for x402 pricing: performs an unpaid request and decodes the 402 challenge (price, network, asset, recipient). Free — no payment is made.

run402: full-stack backend infrastructure for AI agents
Postgres, auth, storage, serverless functions and staged deploys — provisioned, operated and paid for by an agent through the CLI, with a typed SDK for scripting and MCP for tool-native hosts. No cloud console, no signup. Open source.
Run402 is open-source backend infrastructure for AI agents and coding agents — a backend-as-a-service addressed to a machine rather than to a person. An autonomous agent provisions a Postgres database, user auth, file storage, serverless functions and site hosting, ships them through one staged deploy workflow, and pays for the usage itself. Comparable in surface to Supabase, Firebase or Vercel; different in that there is no dashboard you have to sign into to get started (the console exists for people; the agent never needs it) and no human-issued API key to copy.
This is the backend Kychee's open products run on. We needed a layer an agent can drive end to end, with room for whatever each app turns out to need, and nothing off the shelf had all of it, so we built it and opened it the same way we open the apps: this repo holds the agent surfaces (MIT), run402-core holds the open self-hostable runtime slice (Apache-2.0; the managed Cloud control plane remains proprietary, see CLOUDVSCORE.md), and kysigned is the first product running on it.
One call to run402 gives an agent a full Postgres database, REST API, user auth, content-addressed file storage, static site hosting, serverless functions, and image generation, paid with x402 (USDC on Base) or MPP (pathUSD on Tempo, or sats over Bitcoin Lightning) — or card-funded allowance. The prototype tier is free on testnet.
Run402 is agent-first because agents are first-class participants, not because people disappear. A person or agent acts through its own Run402 principal and authenticator, and its actions remain attributable. Identity answers who acted; memberships, roles, grants, grant keys, freshness, and spend policy determine what that principal may do.
An autonomous agent may remain the legitimate owner of the org-of-one it creates. People may join through explicit co-ownership. Agents entering somebody else's organization receive bounded authority instead of borrowing a human account. Different keys. Equal standing. Explicit authority.
Use the CLI by default to provision, deploy, inspect and recover. Use the typed, opinionated SDK when writing programmatic TypeScript/JavaScript workflows; shell scripts and CI can keep using CLI. MCP serves MCP-native hosts, and direct HTTP supports deliberate lower-level integrations.
