Vaaya MCP Server
Vaaya is the agent payment system: one MCP server that lets any agent call paid APIs pay-per-call, with no API keys. Instead of wiring up a dozen vendor keys, your agent asks Vaaya's conversational consult tool for anything it can't do, gets back the exact call to run, and executes it with use - billed on success only (x402 USDC on Base, Stripe MPP, or Tempo; the payment is the auth). Failed calls are never charged.
People connecting browser automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
