HubVibe: Pay Per Call Agent Tools: Web Search, Email Verify, KYC Screening, Stocks, Crypto, News

HubVibe

One node, 70 machine-payable jobs, one price per call, one receipt per job. HubVibe sells work to autonomous agents over HTTP 402: 65 workers under /work/* — LLM inference, live web search and page extraction, Base chain reads, spot and prediction-market data, BigQuery analysis and forecasting, deterministic regression and probability statistics, image/speech/video generation, sandboxed Python, maps, and cited research, verification and company briefs that compose several of them in one call — plus 5 deterministic site audits (WCAG 2.1 A/AA, SEO, security headers, performance, bundle). Pay with x402 (USDC on Base) or an MPP transfer-hash credential. No account, no human in the loop, and every delivered job has a machine-verifiable receipt at /work/receipts/{id}.

Live: https://hubvibe-io.com

Every check is a deterministic rule run against the live page. Nothing here is a language model judging whether a site looks compliant, and a check that could not run is returned as an error, never as a passing result.

There are two ways in. Both take under a minute.

1 — Gate your CI on it: one step, nothing to install

- uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1
  with:
    url: https://staging.example.com
    wallet-key: ${{ secrets.HUBVIBE_WALLET_KEY }}

That is the entire integration. Every pull request now runs the full compliance bundle against your deployed preview and fails the build on the regression that caused it — not in an audit six months later.

• Findings render in the job summary: rule, impact, nodes hit, link to the fix.
• A check that failed to execute is an error, never a silent pass — a green build means the checks actually ran.
• fail-on-error: false keeps our outage from ever blocking your deploy; your real regressions still gate it.
• $0.15 per PR for all four checks as one bundle, $0.05 for a single check. A repo merging 100 PRs a month spends $10. No subscription, no seat licence, no minimum.

Gate a promotion on it:

- name: Audit staging
  id: audit
  uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1
  with:
    url: https://staging.example.com
    wallet-key: ${{ secrets.HUBVIBE_WALLET_KEY }}

- name: Promote to production
  if: steps.audit.outputs.passed == 'true'
  run: ./deploy-production.sh

wallet-key is an EVM private key funded with USDC on Base. The step reads the 402, signs, and pays for its own run — no account, no checkout, nothing to provision first. max-price-usd (default 0.15) is a hard ceiling the client refuses to sign above, so fund the address like petty cash rather than a treasury. It needs no ETH: x402 signs the transfer off-chain and the facilitator pays the gas.

If you already hold a prepaid API key, pass api-key: instead of wallet-key: and the step spends that.

2 — Point your agent at it: no key, no signup, pay per call

An unauthenticated call is not an error here. It is the price sheet:

curl -i -X POST https://hubvibe-io.com/audit/wcag \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
PAYMENT-REQUIRED: <base64 x402 v2 PaymentRequired: the same offer, Base and Solana>

{
  "x402Version": 1,
  "error": "payment_required",
  "price_usd": 0.05,
  "accepts": [
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "base",
      "asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
      "payTo": "0x837C40E2B4e976f43Ffb4451eE281A00fA9477dd",
      "maxAmountRequired": "50000",
      "resource": "https://hubvibe-io.com/audit/wcag",
      ...
    }
  ],
  "extensions": { "bazaar": { ... } },
  "docs": "https://hubvibe-io.com/.well-known/agent.json"
}

An agent reads the 402, signs an x402 payment (USDC on Base, or on Solana from the v2 header), retries with X-PAYMENT (v1) or PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (v2), and gets the audit. Payment is verified before the audit runs and settled only after it produces a result — a failed audit is never charged: x402 is settled only once the audit has run (and a settlement the facilitator refuses withholds the result and charges nothing), a prepaid key is refunded, and an MPP credential a failed audit consumed is accepted again on the retry.

For Python agents and swarms, the bundled tollbooth client does the whole loop — challenge, budget check, signing, retry — with two hard spending limits enforced before anything is signed:

from integrations.hubvibe_tollbooth import HubVibeTollbooth

booth = HubVibeTollbooth.from_env()          # HUBVIBE_WALLET_KEY or HUBVIBE_API_KEY
result = booth.audit("https://example.com")  # full bundle, $0.15
result = booth.audit("https://example.com", endpoint="wcag")  # $0.05

accepts lists only the payment rails that can genuinely settle on this deployment. A rail that is not configured is omitted rather than advertised with a null recipient, so a paying agent never builds a payment that cannot land.

How machines find this node without being told the URL: every 402 carries x402 Bazaar discovery data, so the facilitator catalogs this node by capability and price on the payment that settles through it — the spec has no other ingestion path; the /mcp endpoint is published in the official MCP registry as io.github.Its-fortunatefolly/hubvibe; A2A agents read /.well-known/agent-card.json; and /.well-known/agent.json is generated from the same catalog the routes charge from, so the advertised price is the charged price by construction.

Endpoints

Body is {"url": "..."}; wcag and seo also accept raw {"html": "..."}.

Worker network (/work/*)

The same payment gate sells a wider catalog beside the audits — each worker validated for free before any payment is read, never billed for a call that produced no result, with per-provider retries, exponential backoff, failover and a circuit breaker behind it. All 65 are in the catalog; every one the node can serve is live on the public node at hubvibe-io.com (GET /work lists them, free). On any other deployment a worker whose provider is not configured is absent, with a specific reason, until it is.

A worker whose provider is not configured is absent — no route, no price, no tool, no manifest entry — the same rule the payment rails follow. GET /work (free) lists what is live on this deployment and why anything else is not.

Prices are flat per call and published where the audits' are: the 402 challenge, /.well-known/agent.json, /openapi.json, and the MCP tool list. Callers can send Idempotency-Key to make retries of one request return the first delivery instead of buying the work twice.

Paying

Three rails, all fail-closed — no valid credential means no job runs:

• X-PAYMENT / PAYMENT-SIGNATURE — x402 v2, exact scheme, USDC on Base, settled through the Coinbase facilitator. This is the primary rail.
• Authorization: Payment ... — MPP evm method, hash credential: the payer sends the exact USDC amount to the recipient itself and presents the transaction hash. No signature is verified, so smart-wallet payers (Coinbase Base Account and other EIP-7702 / ERC-4337 wallets that x402 facilitators reject) can buy through this rail. It is advertised in every 402 under other_rails and in the WWW-Authenticate: Payment challenge.
• X-API-Key — prepaid key, live on the public node. Buy credit by card at https://hubvibe-io.com/start (credit packs, no subscription) or with a USDC transfer on Solana (solana_topup in the agent manifest), then send the key as X-API-Key on any paid route, including tool calls to /mcp. Each call is debited at its listed price; a call that fails is refunded.

Read accepts and other_rails in any 402, or payment in the agent manifest — both list only what actually settles on that deployment. Workers priced above $1 carry a buyer_note: x402 client libraries cap a payment at $1 by default and the buyer must raise the cap to purchase them.

What you are charged for

Only a job that produced a result.

• An audit that could not run returns 502 with billed: false and is never settled. x402 payments are verified to grant access but only settled after the audit has delivered; a prepaid key debited for the call is refunded, and a prepaid key bought by an MPP top-up is still returned on the 502, holding everything it bought.
• A rate-limited request returns 429 with Retry-After, checked before any payment is touched, so it costs nothing.
• A settled x402 payment gets a receipt: the facilitator's settle response (transaction hash, network, payer) comes back on the 200 in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header (X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE for v1 clients), exactly as the x402 spec describes. The x402 client libraries decode it; the bundled hubvibe_tollbooth.py keeps it as last_settlement.
• One signed payment buys one job. A replayed x402 authorization is refused with a 402 before it reaches the facilitator.
• Before paying, GET /contracts/{capability} (free) is the Purchase Verification Contract: the exact capability, its input and output schemas, price, and every rail's network, asset and pay-to, from the same catalog the 402 charges from, under one contract_hash. The 402 names it. POST /contracts/{capability}/verify checks your expected terms and your request body. A paid request carrying X-HubVibe-Contract: <contract_hash> is refused before any payment is touched if the route no longer sells that contract. The bundled router does all of this before it signs anything.
• Every result is checked against the route's published output schema (openapi.json, the MCP outputSchema, the 402's Bazaar record, the A2A skill) before it is billed. A result that does not match is not delivered and not charged: HTTP 502, reason contract_mismatch.
• Every /work call, paid or refused, has a receipt at GET /work/receipts/{receipt_id} (the id is returned on the response): outcome (paid_delivered, paid_failed, unpaid_refused, ...), rail, network, asset, amount, payer, transaction hash, sha256 hashes of the canonical request and result, provider provenance and node version. A buyer can verify what it paid for without trusting this node's counters.

What this service will not fetch

Every audit loads the URL you send from inside the deployment, so the node refuses, with a 400 and before any payment is read: addresses that are not globally routable (loopback, private ranges, link-local, the cloud metadata endpoint), internal hostnames, schemes other than http/https, and names that do not resolve. Raw html is capped at 2 MiB. None of that costs the caller anything.

Discovery

Agents shouldn't have to read documentation to use this:

Integrations

• integrations/hubvibe_router.py — the buyer-side gateway: an agent runs it on its own machine, points HTTP calls at http://127.0.0.1:8402/work/..., and the router clears each 402 by signing with the agent's own wallet (USDC on Base or on Solana, key never leaves the machine), retries, and returns the result. Analytical routes (/work/data/*, /work/stats/*) are cached locally for 24 hours so a loop pays once per distinct query. Per-call, per-process and per-day caps refuse before any signature exists. python hubvibe_router.py quote|call|serve|status|ledger. As a library (the wallet comes from HUBVIBE_WALLET_KEY / HUBVIBE_SOLANA_KEY or the key files, never from code):

  from hubvibe_router import HubVibeRouter
  client = HubVibeRouter(endpoint="https://hubvibe-io.com", wallet_type="base")
  response = client.execute_task(tool="stats.probability", payload={...})
  

• action.yml — the GitHub Action (uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1). It retries transient failures but never a 4xx (repeating a 402 on a metered endpoint risks paying twice for one answer), renders findings into the job summary via scripts/render_audit_summary.py, and can be adopted with fail-on-error: false so an outage in this service cannot block someone else's deploys.

• Claude Code plugin — /plugin marketplace add Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe, then install hubvibe (plugins/hubvibe).

• Gemini CLI extension — gemini extensions install https://github.com/Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe (gemini-extension.json).

• MCP registry — server.json, listed as io.github.Its-fortunatefolly/hubvibe; the server itself is https://hubvibe-io.com/mcp.

• integrations/hubvibe_tollbooth.py — the client for agents running unattended: it settles the 402 itself from an EVM wallet via x402, with a per-call cap and a process-lifetime budget enforced before anything is signed. Exposes LangChain/CrewAI tools via hubvibe_tools().

• glama.json — listing metadata for the Glama MCP directory.

For people, not pipelines

The machine API is the product, and per call is the only price: there are no subscriptions or human plans (retired 2026-09-06). A person can pay the same per-call rates through a $0.50 prepaid block where the MPP top-up rail is live. There is deliberately no free scan: an audit costs a real browser page load, so giving them away funds strangers' compute and invites abuse.

Honest limits

These are narrow, disclosed, automated signals. They are not a substitute for a manual accessibility audit, a penetration test, or a Lighthouse run, and automated scanning is not a compliance certification. Each function's docstring states exactly what it does and does not check.
