# create-agent-gateway
A Cloudflare Worker template for pay-per-call agent gateways.
Bearer-key auth + mcent pricing + x402 signup + scoped keys + XP leaderboard + MCP server β€” packaged as a scaffolder so anyone can stand up their own agent API in ~2 minutes.
**Repo:** [github.com/walter-grace/create-agent-gateway](https://github.com/walter-grace/create-agent-gateway)
## Quickstart
```bash
npx create-agent-gateway my-api
cd my-api
wrangler kv:namespace create KEYS
wrangler secret put ADMIN_KEY
wrangler deploy
```
Replace the `/v1/example` handler in `src/index.ts` with your actual paid tool.
## What's in the box
- **Bearer-token auth** backed by Workers KV
- **mcent pricing** (1/1000Β’) β€” sub-cent calls legible + storable as integers
- **x402 signup** β€” strangers pay USDC on Base via Coinbase CDP facilitator
- **Scoped keys** (`crawl`, `label`, `read`, `all`) for tiered access
- **XP + leaderboard + badges** via a Durable Object (race-free)
- **Refund policy** with rate cap to block refund-farming
- **Agent Readiness** well-known routes (`/llms.txt`, `/.well-known/mcp.json`, `/robots.txt` with Content Signals)
- **MCP server** at `/mcp` β€” Claude Desktop / Cursor / Zed install in one config block
## Why
Agents need:
1. A way to authenticate β€” bearer keys beat OAuth dashboards
2. A balance to draw down β€” mcents so $0.01 covers 100 calls
3. A self-serve onramp β€” x402 so strangers mint keys programmatically
4. Reputation primitives β€” XP, levels, badges so markets reward quality
5. Discoverability β€” Agent Readiness + MCP so agents find you
Stripe, OAuth, and dashboards add friction agents can't traverse. This stack skips all of that.
