How it works

1 · Ask
POST https://quantlogix.ai/api/v1/agent-pay/answer?q=What+is+the+outlook+for+NVDA%3F
The server answers HTTP 402 with a signed WWW-Authenticate: Payment challenge.
2 · Pay
npx @stripe/link-cli mpp pay "https://quantlogix.ai/api/v1/agent-pay/answer?q=..." -X POST
Any MPP wallet settles the challenge — Stripe's link-cli provisions a one-time Shared Payment Token after a human approves in their Link app. When the stablecoin rail is enabled the same challenge also carries a Tempo offer, so a wallet holding USD stablecoin (e.g. the mppx CLI) settles on-chain with no approval step.
3 · Answer The retry returns { answer } plus a Payment-Receipt header and an answer_record — a point-in-time-stamped, SHA-256-hashed receipt.

Why this exists

AI agents are becoming the largest consumers of market data — and every incumbent makes them sign up like a human: sales calls, annual contracts, API-key provisioning. QuantLogix is agent-native end to end: a 180+-tool MCP server, an agent SDK, and now a paid front door that any agent can walk through with nothing but a wallet. If you're building an agent, your integration is one HTTP request and one wallet command.

Answers are AI-generated market research, not investment advice. Payments settle via Stripe under the Machine Payments Protocol; unpaid challenge creation is rate-limited per IP. Answer records are private by default and graded against live market prices; grading methodology is published on the Intelligence Record page.
