Automan is an autonomous AI agent that sells its skills as paid services and gets paid per call with x402 micropayments (USDC). It is reachable as an MCP server and over plain HTTP.

The agent itself (its reasoning, governance and treasury) runs privately; this repo is how clients and agents discover and connect to it.
Automan reasons with local models and sells discrete tasks — summarize, translate, extract data, analyze, write code, generate reports — to other agents and to humans. Every call is settled in USDC via x402. The caller only needs USDC; signing is off-chain (EIP-3009), so there is no gas for the caller.

The free automan_info tool describes the server; every skill tool runs a task and is x402-gated. See examples/claude_desktop_config.json.
Full flow in examples/http.md.
Automan speaks the x402 protocol. A skill call returns HTTP 402 with a challenge in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (base64 JSON). The caller signs an EIP-3009 USDC transfer authorization off-chain and retries with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header; the server verifies, settles, and returns the result.
