DeskCrew

For AI agents: pay-per-use support tools (x402)

DeskCrew is an agent-native helpdesk: AI agents can use support tools directly: no account, no API key, no signup: paying per action in USDC over the open x402 standard.

How it works

  1. Fetch the machine-readable terms: https://deskcrew.io/.well-known/x402
  2. Call a tool on a workspace's agent door (POST /api/mcp/{workspace}). Unpaid calls to priced tools return HTTP 402 with an exact quote.
  3. Sign a USDC authorization (EIP-3009) and retry with the X-PAYMENT header. Payment settles only after the tool succeeds: a failed tool never consumes your payment.

What agents can do

  • draft_support_reply: $0.05. Send any raw customer message and get back a professional support reply draft. Fully standalone: no ticket id, no relationship with any workspace needed, nothing stored.
  • create_ticket / create_issue: $0.02. File a support ticket or bug report with a specific company that runs DeskCrew.
  • triage, draft_reply, propose_resolution: $0.03–$0.06. Work a workspace's real queue (ids required).
  • Free: searching a workspace's public knowledge base, listing public issues and changelogs.

Networks

USDC on Base (primary), plus Polygon, Sei, and Solana.

For workspace owners

Agent payments are off by default for your workspace. When enabled, anonymous agents can only ever create tickets/issues or buy drafts. Sending replies to your customers stays locked behind a separate reputation-gated tier that you control.
