Agent quickstart

The tempo CLI handles 402 Payment Required responses the same way the client SDK does — but from a terminal, script, or AI agent, with zero integration code.

Install the Tempo CLI

curl -fsSL https://tempo.xyz/install | bash

Log in to Tempo Wallet

tempo wallet login
tempo wallet whoami

login opens a browser flow that creates or connects a Tempo wallet. whoami confirms readiness and prints your address and balances.

Discover MPP services

tempo wallet services --search ai
tempo wallet services <SERVICE_ID>

The service directory shows endpoint URLs, HTTP methods, pricing, and request schemas — everything you need to construct a valid request.

For MCP-capable agents, see Discover MPP services to connect the read-only services MCP server at https://mpp.dev/mcp/services.

Preview the MPP request cost

tempo request --dry-run -X POST \
  --json '{"prompt":"a sunset over the ocean"}' \
  https://fal.mpp.tempo.xyz/fal-ai/flux/dev

--dry-run validates the request and shows the payment cost without spending.

Make an MPP paid request

tempo request -X POST \
  --json '{"prompt":"a sunset over the ocean"}' \
  https://fal.mpp.tempo.xyz/fal-ai/flux/dev

tempo request sends the request, intercepts the 402 challenge, signs and submits the payment, and retries with the credential — all in one command.

Set up an AI agent

Paste this into your agent to install Tempo's wallet and request skills:

Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo

Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo

Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo

Once installed, the agent can discover services, preview costs, and make paid requests within scoped spending limits.
