CRA AGENT Gives AI Agents a Payment Rail
A developer tool lets AI agents discover, authorize, pay for, and record API calls priced in USDC on Arc.
Field notes
The page exposes both sides of the proposed rail: buyers install an MCP server with six payment and ledger tools, while sellers attach middleware to a route and set a per-call USDC price. Its examples make the control model concrete, including a 5 USDC daily cap, a 0.5 USDC per-seller cap, and a receipt containing amount, recipient, settlement status, and transaction hash. The page identifies testnet as the current state and describes escrow and seller-bond features as later-phase work.
