checkout in AI Mode Canada (Search Engine Journal 5 Nov), x402 volume cited in Hyperboost digest (196M tx / US$42M — Self-reported by article). No single HBV-thin product owns micro-SaaS agent checkout (Hypothesis). Existence: Stripe, PayPal, x402, Mastercard Agent Pay and Google UCP exist as rails; a turnkey merchant embed+MCP aimed at micro-SaaS agent loops was not found as a dominant product in a quick check (Hypothesis).

Pain: Human checkout breaks agent loops; raw Stripe/x402 integration is heavy for a one-person shop that just wants agents to buy credits safely. Monetization: Take-rate on agent payments + monthly merchant plan (Hypothesis; no approved price). Build: ~3–4 agent-weeks (wallet, MCP tool, Stripe+PIX, merchant admin, ledger); stack: Next.js, Stripe, PIX provider, ledger DB (Supabase), MCP server on Workers/Cloud Run. GTM: SEO/GEO for 'MCP payments', PLG templates for Cursor/Claude agents, HBV internal dogfood first.
