Apify mcpc and x402 Give AI Agents an Auto-Payment Wallet

Apify mcpc 与 x402：给 AI Agent 装上"自动付款的钱包"

Apify mcpc integrates the x402 payment protocol, letting AI agents auto-sign payments on HTTP 402. x402 compresses paid API settlement into one HTTP round trip plus a signature; mcpc supports Claude Code and USDC-funded wallets. The key point is machine settlement for paid tool calls, not the wallet label.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the hook is fresh, the mechanism is concrete, and agent payments hit a real practitioner nerve. It is still a mid-weight integration with no usage scale, pricing, or production case disclosed.
