How payments work
Orbis uses the x402 protocol — an open HTTP payment standard built on Base. When your agent calls an API:
- Orbis returns a
402 Payment Requiredresponse with payment details - The MCP server handles the USDC payment on Base automatically
- The API call completes — total cost: $0.01
No wallets to configure for browsing. To make paid calls, provide your Base wallet via ORBIS_KEY.
