## What is GPU-Bridge?
[GPU-Bridge](https://gpubridge.io) is a unified GPU inference API with **native x402 support** — the open payment protocol that allows AI agents to autonomously pay for compute with USDC on Base L2. No API keys, no accounts, no human intervention required.
This MCP server exposes all 30 GPU-Bridge services as Model Context Protocol tools, giving Claude (and any MCP-compatible AI) direct access to GPU inference.

## Install in Claude Desktop (2 minutes)
### 1. Get your API key (or use x402 for autonomous agents)
Visit [gpubridge.io](https://gpubridge.io) and grab a free API key, or use the x402 protocol for keyless agent payments.
### 2. Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`
**macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {

## x402: For Autonomous AI Agents
GPU-Bridge supports the [x402 payment protocol](https://x402.org), enabling truly autonomous AI agents to pay for compute without human intervention.
```
Agent Request → GPU-Bridge returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
↓
Agent pays USDC on Base L2 (gas < $0.01, settles in 2s)
↓
Agent retries with payment proof → GPU-Bridge executes and returns result
```
### Python Example with x402
```python
from x402.client import PaymentClient
client = PaymentClient(private_key="0x...", chain="base")
response = client.request(
"POST",
"https://api.gpubridge.io/v1/run",
json={
"service": "flux-schnell",
"input": {"prompt": "A robot painting on a canvas", "steps": 4}
}
)
print(response.json())
```
