MCP/X402 agent store launches pay-per-call pricing from $0.001

The MCP (Message Communication Protocol) and its X402 agent store are now offering pay-per-call pricing starting at $0.001 per block-number call. This new pricing model allows users to pay for individual API requests rather than a subscription. Payments can be made using USDC on the Base network, with a live connector available and no API key required. Additionally, human checkout options are available for specific packs, such as the Plan-vs-PR review pack for $29 and the Agent Protocol Pack for $24. AI

IMPACT Introduces a pay-per-call model for agent interactions, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for using AI agents.

RANK_REASON This is a pricing change for an agent store, not a core AI model release or research breakthrough.
