Your agent needs data.
It can't hold a credit card.

Microquery lets AI agents pay for SQL queries with USDC. No subscription, no API key tied to a human, no minimum spend. Deposit, query, pay per scan.

// Agent queries SEC filings via MCP tool
{
  "tool": "microquery",
  "query": "SELECT revenue, net_income FROM edgar
           WHERE ticker = 'AAPL' AND period = '2024-Q3'",
  "wallet": "0x1a2b...3c4d",
  "max_cost": 5000  // 5000 micro-USDC = $0.005
}

// Response
{
  "data": [{ "revenue": 94930000000, "net_income": 14736000000 }],
  "bytes_scanned": 21474836480,
  "cost": 3000,  // $0.003 actual
  "balance": 997000
}

How it works

01

Deposit USDC

Agent's wallet deposits USDC into an on-chain escrow contract on Base. Funds stay in escrow -- the operator never takes custody.

02

Query with a spending cap

Each query includes an EIP-712 signed authorization with a max cost. The agent controls exactly how much it spends per query.

03

Pay for bytes scanned

Cost is based on decompressed bytes scanned -- objective, reproducible, verifiable. Settlement is batched on-chain hourly.
