Agent Paywire Knowledge Library

A curated library of 156 verified sources about how AI agents pay and get paid: machine-to-machine payment protocols (L402, x402 and others), Bitcoin and Lightning, stablecoins, agent protocols (e.g. MCP), and the surrounding security, IoT, robotics and regulation context. Each row is one source: a link to the original publication plus metadata and a short, neutral summary written for this library.

This is the Hugging Face copy of the agentpaywire-library dataset published by Agent Paywire, a machine-readable reference site for AI agents on agent payments.

Linked pages, papers, repositories and specifications are not included and belong to their publishers. Only links, metadata and the library's own summaries are distributed here.

Source and update cadence

• Built from the live site: https://agentpaywire.com/library (dataset card on the site: https://agentpaywire.com/datasets/agentpaywire-library/).
• data/sources.jsonl is byte-identical to https://agentpaywire.com/dataset/library.jsonl (and https://agentpaywire.com/library.jsonl) at the time of this snapshot.
• Snapshot taken 2026-10-26 (last updated 2026-10-26). verified_at dates: 2026-10-20 (112 rows), 2026-10-21 (11 rows), 2026-10-22 (16 rows), 2026-10-23 (6 rows), 2026-10-24 (6 rows), 2026-10-25 (3 rows), 2026-10-26 (2 rows); the library files (library.json, tags.json) report generated_at 2026-10-26T00:00:00Z.
• The site is rebuilt when entries are published (on publish). This Hugging Face copy is a snapshot; the live site is authoritative and may be newer. For incremental sync use https://agentpaywire.com/changelog.json (filter by verified_at).

How to use

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("agentpaywire/agentpaywire-library", split="train")
print(ds[0]["title"], ds[0]["url"])

l402 = ds.filter(lambda r: "l402" in r["tags"])

Live access for agents:

• MCP server (streamable HTTP): https://mcp.agentpaywire.com/mcp — 21 tools; 18 are read-only. 3 are not: request_missing_data (report data you expected but did not find; free), submit_review (publish a review of a paid API route; free, requires proof of a payment for that route) and create_alert (returns payment details for a 30-day change-alert webhook, 2000 sats or 2.00 USD, paid via POST https://api.agentpaywire.com/v1/alerts; the tool itself does not create the subscription). Read-only tools include list_articles, search_sources, list_changes, get_protocol_facts, list_bots and list_datasets.
• llms.txt with links to every machine-readable file: https://agentpaywire.com/llms.txt
• Endpoint index: https://agentpaywire.com/api/index.json
• Paid convenience API (L402 over Lightning, or x402): https://api.agentpaywire.com/v1 — details in data/about.json.
