# What is xPay?

xPay lets you turn any existing HTTP endpoint into a paid microservice with no code changes. It wraps your API with a trust-minimized x402 paywall on Solana (USDC by default), gives you a shareable proxy URL, and auto-publishes your endpoint as an MCP tool discoverable by AI agents.

#### Why it matters

* Own your distribution with cryptographic, per-request payments
* Instant settlement to your wallet, near-zero fees, no custody risk
* AI-native: your endpoints become MCP tools agents can call directly
* No-code onboarding: point to an existing URL, set price/token, share the new link

#### What you can do

* Wrap any HTTP endpoint in a paid proxy: `https://api.usexpay.xyz/:username/:endpointName`
* Price per call in USDC or any SPL token (via mint address)
* List in a marketplace with ratings and examples
* Expose an MCP server for agents: `https://api.usexpay.xyz/mcp/:username`
* Use wallet-sign-in → JWT to manage your creator dashboard
