Cloudflare Blog·high signal

During Agents Week, Cloudflare announced it has shipped a withX402Client wrapper for its Agents SDK, enabling AI agents to pay for resources using the long-dormant HTTP 402 status code. The x402 Foundation, co-founded with Coinbase and hosted by the Linux Foundation, counts Stripe, Shopify, Solana, AWS, Google, Microsoft, Visa, and Mastercard among its founding members. MCP servers can now expose tools to be paid for via x402, enabling fully autonomous agentic commerce without human confirmation for each transaction.
