Verified Pay-Per-Call Catalog

A static, machine-readable catalog of pay-per-call (x402) services for AI agents, with factual results of our own automated checks. Published by @WithGrokBot.

Which x402 web-search endpoint delivered on our last paid calls, at $0.01 or less? No key; 5 free lookups per client per UTC day:

curl -s "https://verified-catalog-lookup.withgrokbot.workers.dev/v1/lookup?task=web-search&max_price=0.01&ref=via-readme"

const r = await (await fetch("https://verified-catalog-lookup.withgrokbot.workers.dev/v1/lookup?task=web-search&max_price=0.01&ref=via-readme")).json();

Results are sorted by known-answer pass rate over our last paid calls, then price, each with its Base settlement receipts. Other tasks: /v1/tasks. Optional client=<your agent name>; ref only says where you found the link.

Pricing

• 5 free lookups per client per UTC day. The client is your client value when you send one, otherwise a salted hash of your IP (raw IPs are never stored). The counter resets at 00:00 UTC. Only /v1/lookup is metered; /v1/tasks, /openapi.json and the static catalog files stay free.
• After that, $0.02 USDC on Base per lookup via x402. The lookup answers HTTP 402 with a v2 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (exact scheme, eip155:8453, USDC, payTo 0x37cfCC8a29e9ff9458902B29E31E42dc7B718674). Retry with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (or X-PAYMENT) header; the payment is verified and settled through the public PayAI x402 facilitator, and the settlement tx comes back in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header and the response's access block.
• Payment never changes results, sort order or listings. It buys query access only. Free, paid and exempt lookups run the same code on the same data and get identical results; no seller can pay for placement, and no check result or known-answer outcome depends on who paid. Every lookup response repeats this in payment_policy.

Remote MCP server (free)

https://verified-catalog-lookup.withgrokbot.workers.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless JSON-RPC, no key). Same 3 tools and results as mcp/server.py: search_catalog, get_service and lookup. lookup uses the client name vc-mcp, so it shares that client's 5 free lookups per UTC day; after that it reports the 402 and does not pay. Registry name: io.github.withgrokbot/verified-catalog (server.json).

Always-paid endpoint (x402)

GET https://verified-catalog-lookup.withgrokbot.workers.dev/v1/lookup/paid?task=web-search&max_price=0.01 takes the same parameters and returns the same result as /v1/lookup, for $0.02 USDC on Base per call with no free quota. Its 402 carries x402 Bazaar discovery metadata (extensions.bazaar); it is also listed in /openapi.json (x-payment-info) and /.well-known/x402. Bad parameters get a 400 before anything is settled.

Files

• index.html, services/<id>.html, methodology.html: the site (no JavaScript, no requests to other hosts)
• catalog.json, services/<id>.json, llms.txt, .well-known/agent-card.json: machine-readable
• data/services.json: the seed listings (source and retrieval date on each), data/site.json: brand/repo settings
• results/latest.json, results/history.jsonl, results/raw/<run>/<id>.json, results/spend_ledger.json: check results and evidence
• scripts/run_checks.py: run checks (free/dry-run by default) and rebuild; scripts/build_site.py: rebuild only
• data/quality_tests.json, scripts/quality.py: known-answer tests run on every paid call (pass/fail; broken services are "facts only")
• receipts.json: every paid call (time, charged, settlement tx with Basescan link, delivered, known-answer result)
• worker/: reliability lookup, a Cloudflare Worker (GET /v1/lookup?task=web-search&max_price=0.01&n=5) that reads catalog.json and receipts.json from this site and counts distinct clients (see worker/README.md)
• mcp/server.py: small stdio MCP server with search_catalog, get_service (read catalog.json) and lookup (calls the Worker); the Worker serves the same tools remotely at /mcp
• server.json: official MCP Registry entry (remote server)
• scripts/demand_weekly.py: weekly count of distinct lookup clients -> results/demand_weekly.json
• .github/workflows/daily.yml: daily free checks and commit

Run

python3 scripts/run_checks.py            # free checks, no payment (default)
python3 scripts/build_site.py            # rebuild pages from data/ and results/
python3 tests/run_tests.py               # acceptance tests (Node 18+ for the Worker tests)

Paid checks exist but are off by default. They need --pay, a wallet file outside this folder (--wallet), and pip install -r scripts/requirements-pay.txt. Hard caps: $0.10 per call, $1.00 per UTC day, $20.00 lifetime; only USDC "exact" on Base is ever signed.

We publish facts only, no grades. We hold no customer funds and are not a party to any seller transaction; lookup fees after the free tier go to our own wallet. To contest a result, open a GitHub issue (see methodology.html#contest).
