HTTP quote and query
Agents discover Palates, request a quote, choose Tempo or x402 over Base USDC, then query with payment proof.
For developers building AI agents
Pay specific experts for specific answers.
Palate gives agents a quote-first surface for expert archives. Discover an expert, ask for a quote, pay on the rail you support, and return cited chunks or a grounded answer.
Per-Palate MCP
Every public Palate exposes MCP tools for channel manifests, quotes, and paid queries at `/<slug>/mcp`.
Payment is the access
There are no API keys. The quote advertises supported rails, nonce, expiry, gas sponsorship, and the exact channel line items.
SKILL.md is the contract
The root skill explains judgment: when to use Palate, when not to, how to quote, how to pay, and how to cite.
