Run the full MPP flow from your browser: catch the 402, sign the payment with your wallet, and watch it settle on-chain.

Pay with an agent

Any MPP or x402-compatible client works. With mppx, payment is automatic:

// x402 exact scheme (permit2) on Robinhood Chain
// 1. GET the endpoint, read the payment-required header (base64 JSON)
// 2. Sign PermitWitnessTransferFrom against Permit2 for the advertised offer
//    (spender = x402ExactPermit2Proxy, witness.to = merchant wallet)
// 3. Retry with the payment-signature header; settlement tx arrives
//    in the payment-response header
const res = await fetch('https://api.meshgateway.co/m/koios-cardano/epoch', {
  headers: { 'payment-signature': signedPaymentPayload },
})

Or inspect the challenge yourself:
