A protocol that turns MQTT-connected hardware into pay-per-call APIs for AI agents, with USDC settlement via x402.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-22 issue.

Why it surfaced

The site demonstrates an agent paying $0.40 USDC to route a 3D-print job to an idle printer, alongside a greenhouse sensor example. Its proposition is unusually concrete: connect an existing MQTT broker, expose a machine service, and let software agents pay for the result.
