Access paid APIs using Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), a protocol for request payments. The skill checks payment requirements, selects a compatible wallet or client, submits payment, and helps inspect the API response and receipt.
Pay HTTP 402 APIs via Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Wraps the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP, https://mpp.dev) clients so Hermes can pay for per-request API access against servers that respond with HTTP 402 Payment Required.
Three client options, all distributed via npm. Pick the lightest one that solves the user's need. Gated [linux, macos] while the broader payments tooling matures on Windows.
HTTP 402 with a www-authenticate header — and the user wants to actually pay it, not just log the response.link-cli mpp pay (see the stripe-link-cli skill).| Tool | When | Setup |
|---|---|---|
link-cli | User already has Stripe Link set up, or the 402 challenge advertises method="stripe" | see the stripe-link-cli skill |
| Tempo Wallet | MPP services with spend controls, service discovery | tempo wallet login |
| Privy Agent CLI | Multi-chain wallets, browser-based funding | privy-agent-wallets login |
| AgentCash | 300+ pre-priced APIs via one USDC.e balance | npx agentcash onboard |
mppx | Dev + debugging, smallest dep surface | npm install -g mppx then mppx account create |
Default: if the user already has Stripe Link configured or the 402 challenge specifies method="stripe", use link-cli mpp pay (the stripe-link-cli skill). Otherwise mppx for one-off paid calls and debugging, and Tempo Wallet when the user wants persistent spend controls.

Run all commands through the terminal tool.
npm install -g mppx
mppx account create
Store the resulting account credentials wherever the CLI tells you (the CLI writes them under its own config — do not paste them into the agent transcript).
If the user gives you a URL, probe it first to confirm it actually speaks MPP:
curl -i <url>
A real MPP 402 looks like:
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
www-authenticate: tempo amount=0.1 currency=...
mppx <url>
For non-GET methods or request bodies:
mppx <url> --method POST --data '<json>'
mppx handles the 402 challenge/credential dance automatically and prints the merchant's actual response on success.
mppx attaches the receipt header automatically. To inspect:
mppx <url> -v
The Tempo Wallet skill at https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md is the canonical reference; fetch it with web_extract and follow it. Headline:
tempo wallet login
tempo wallet pay <url>
Spend controls and service discovery live in the wallet UI at https://wallet.tempo.xyz.
HTTP 402 without method="stripe" cannot be paid by Stripe Link. If the challenge advertises only Tempo / other methods, use mppx (or whichever wallet matches) — Link will reject it. Conversely, if it advertises method="stripe", prefer Link via the stripe-link-cli skill so the spend goes through the user's approved card.www-authenticate may list several methods (e.g. tempo, stripe). The Link CLI's mpp decode will pick the Stripe one; mppx will pick Tempo. There's no single "right" client — pick by which wallet the user has funded.$0.00 and just want a proof credential. These work without a funded wallet. Don't refuse them as "broken."cat/read_file them.mppx/nextjs / mppx/hono / mppx/express / mppx/elysia middlewares. A dedicated mpp-server skill may land later.mppx --version && mppx account list

Set up the 1Password CLI and use stored passwords or API keys in commands and configuration templates. Choose an authentication method, retrieve secret references, and pass credentials to processes through environment variables.
Build an Excel workbook linking the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. Populate historical figures, create formula-based forecasts, compare scenarios, and check that balances and cash totals agree across all three statements.
Adapt existing PyTorch training scripts to use multiple GPUs or machines with limited code changes. The skill guides configuration, launch commands, mixed precision, which uses lower-precision numbers, and DeepSpeed or FSDP settings for distributing training work and memory.
Configure Hermes to run AI models through Actual Computer on your own hardware. Set up either the hosted relay or a local connection, select models, verify responses, and troubleshoot request errors or empty output.
Test an app from the perspective of a frustrated, less technical user. Find confusing steps and barriers, separate actionable usability problems from personal complaints, and produce screenshots, suggested fixes, and prioritized tickets.
Resolve Git merge conflicts between two agents by comparing both changes and their stated goals. Combine compatible work, explain choices where designs differ, and verify the merged result with project builds or tests.
