📡 a402 <> MCP-Pay Integration

This package provides the Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration layer for Beep SDK, enabling seamless connections between AI agents, backends, and on-chain payment workflows on the SUI network.

Beep’s MCP integration allows LLMs and autonomous agents (ChatGPT, Claude, custom bots, etc.) to:

• Initiate or verify stablecoin payments

• Automate invoicing and settlement

• Embed on-chain context into reasoning flows

• Be discoverable and callable through AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

---

📦 What’s Inside

• Reference MCP server implementations

• Transport adapters (HTTP, SSE, stdio)

• Authentication and schema definitions

• AEO-compatible metadata for agent discovery

• Best practices and integration examples

---

🚀 Why MCP Matters for Beep

Beep bridges AI agents ↔ SUI payments using self-custodial USDC infrastructure.

Capability	Description
Agentic Payments	Agents can autonomously send, request, and verify payments
Context-Aware Reasoning	Payment data feeds directly into LLM reasoning graphs
AEO Discoverability	Endpoints can be indexed for direct LLM use
Composable Workflows	Integrate Beep payments into any AI or SaaS product

---

🔄 Supported Transports

Transport	Use Case	Description
http	Web services / REST APIs	Standard HTTP-based MCP endpoints
sse	Streaming / real-time agents	Push updates via Server-Sent Events
stdio	Local / CLI agents	For Claude Desktop or local agent communication

Each transport adapter includes:

• JSON message serialization/parsing

• Lifecycle hooks (onOpen, onClose, onError)

• API key–based authentication middleware

Beep MCP Server - Client Integration Guide

A Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure access to Beep platform capabilities through multiple transport protocols.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Valid API key from Beep platform (if not authenticated)

HTTP Transport

The HTTP transport is ideal for web applications, remote clients, and production use.

Initialize a Session

Send an initialize request without a session ID:

curl -X POST https://api.justbeep.it/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "1",
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "clientInfo": {
        "name": "my-client",
        "version": "1.0.0"
      }
    }
  }'

The server will respond with a session ID in the mcp-session-id header. Use this ID for all subsequent requests:

curl -X POST https://api.justbeep.it/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "mcp-session-id: your-session-id" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "2",
    "method": "tools/list",
    "params": {}
  }'

Call Tools with Authentication

curl -X POST https://api.justbeep.it/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "mcp-session-id: your-session-id" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "3",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "requestAndPurchaseAsset",
      "arguments": {
        "apiKey": "your-api-key",
        "amount": 1000000,
        "currency": "USDT",
        "referenceId": "payment-123"
      }
    }
  }'

Available Tools

Authentication Tools

• initiateDeviceLogin: Start OAuth device flow for CLI tools and apps

• createMerchantAccountFromSSO: Create new merchant accounts via Google SSO

Resource Access

• getPaidResource: Access premium features and paid content

Integration Examples

JavaScript/Node.js

const McpClient = require('@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client');

const client = new McpClient({
  transport: 'http',
  endpoint: 'https://api.justbeep.it/mcp',
  auth: {
    type: 'bearer',
    token: 'your-access-token',
  },
});

await client.initialize();
const tools = await client.listTools();

Python

import requests

session = requests.Session()
session.headers.update({
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-access-token',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
})

# Initialize session
response = session.post('https://api.justbeep.it/mcp', json={
    'method': 'initialize',
    'params': {'clientInfo': {'name': 'python-client', 'version': '1.0.0'}}
})

session_id = response.headers.get('mcp-session-id')
session.headers.update({'mcp-session-id': session_id})

# List available tools
tools = session.post('https://api.justbeep.it/mcp', json={
    'method': 'tools/list'
}).json()

Error Handling

The server returns standard HTTP status codes:

• 200: Success

• 401: Authentication required

• 402: Payment required (for paid resources)

• 404: Resource not found

• 500: Server error
