name	mppx
description	TypeScript SDK for the Payment HTTP Authentication Scheme. Handles 402 Payment Required flows with Tempo, Stripe, and other payment methods. Use when integrating payments or mppx into a client or server application.

mppx

TypeScript SDK for the "Payment" HTTP Authentication Scheme. Full 402 flow: challenge → credential → receipt.

What I can accomplish

• Add 402 payment handling to a client with Fetch.polyfill or Fetch.from.
• Protect HTTP routes with server-side MPP Challenges and Receipt responses.
• Accept one-time Tempo stablecoin payments with tempo.charge.
• Accept metered Tempo stablecoin payments with tempo.session.
• Accept one-time card payments with stripe.charge.
• Verify Credentials directly for custom transports or background workflows.
• Wrap MCP clients and servers so tool calls can require payment.

Required inputs

• Client integrations need a signing account and one or more client payment methods.
• Server integrations need a recipient, currency, amount, and MPP_SECRET_KEY.
• Tempo examples use chain ID 4217 unless a page explicitly covers Moderato testnet.
• Stripe examples need a configured Stripe account and Shared Payment Token flow.
• MCP integrations need the MCP client or server object to wrap.

Constraints

• Keep MPP_SECRET_KEY server-side and out of logs.
• Never commit private keys or wallet seeds.
• Treat runtime 402 Challenges as authoritative for current payment terms.
• Return id and opaque unchanged when responding to a Challenge.
• Use USDC.e for Tempo bridged USDC examples, not generic USDC.

Client

import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'

// Polyfills globalThis.fetch to handle 402 automatically
Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})

const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/resource')

Without polyfilling:

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
  polyfill: false,
})

const res = await mppx.fetch('https://api.example.com/resource')

Server

import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/server'

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ currency: '0x...', recipient: '0x...' })],
  secretKey: process.env.MPP_SECRET_KEY,
})

async function handler(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
  const result = await mppx.charge({ amount: '1.00' })(request)
  if (result.status === 402) return result.challenge
  return result.withReceipt(Response.json({ data: '...' }))
}

Methods

Method	Intent	Description
tempo.charge	charge	One-time stablecoin payment (TIP-20 token transfer on Tempo)
tempo.session	session	Streaming payments via payment channels on Tempo
stripe.charge	charge	One-time payment via Stripe

tempo() returns [tempo.charge, tempo.session] as a tuple. Use tempo.charge() or tempo.session() individually if you only need one intent.

Exports

Path	Purpose
mppx	Core primitives (Challenge, Credential, Method, Receipt, PaymentRequest)
mppx/client	Mppx, tempo, stripe, session, Transport
mppx/server	Mppx, tempo, stripe, Transport, Store, NodeListener
mppx/hono	Hono middleware
mppx/express	Express middleware
mppx/nextjs	Next.js middleware
mppx/elysia	Elysia middleware

CLI

mppx includes a CLI for making paid requests during development:

npx mppx account create        # create wallet
npx mppx mpp.dev/api/ping/paid # make paid request
npx mppx example.com -v        # verbose output
