# x402 agent wallets

> Pay for Browser Use Cloud from an agent-native wallet: AgentCash (local wallet, MCP) or Coinbase's Agentic Wallet (hosted wallet, CLI).

Give your agent a wallet with a few dollars of USDC in it, and it can run Browser Use tasks and pay as it goes. Pick a wallet:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="AgentCash" icon="robot" href="#agentcash-quickstart">
    A wallet that lives on your machine, built for coding agents: Claude Code,
    Cursor, Codex.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Coinbase Agentic Wallet" icon="wallet" href="#coinbase-agentic-wallet-quickstart">
    A wallet Coinbase hosts for you. Sign in with email, fund with Apple Pay or
    card, pay from the terminal.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Payments to Browser Use are **credit top-ups, not per-call fees**: each x402
  payment (\$5 default, \$1 minimum) buys prepaid credit for a project tied to
  your wallet, and unused credit carries over. See [pricing and
  credits](/cloud/guides/x402#pricing-and-credits).
</Note>

## AgentCash quickstart

[AgentCash](https://agentcash.dev) gives your coding agent a wallet and the tools to spend from it: check prices, pay for API calls, watch the balance. The wallet is a file on your machine.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the MCP server">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npx agentcash install
    ```

    The interactive installer detects your agent client. Or add it directly:

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add agentcash --scope user -- npx -y agentcash@latest   # Claude Code
    codex mcp add agentcash -- npx -y agentcash@latest                 # Codex
    npx agentcash install --client cursor                              # Cursor
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund the wallet">
    The first run creates a wallet at `~/.agentcash/wallet.json`. Get its
    deposit address and send it USDC on **Base mainnet** (\$5 covers the default
    top-up; \$1 is the minimum):

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx agentcash@latest accounts
    ```

    Or just ask your agent — the `list_accounts` and `get_balance` tools do the
    same thing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run a browser task">
    Prompt your agent:

    ```text theme={null}
    Use AgentCash to POST to https://x402.api.browser-use.com/api/v3/sessions
    with body {"task": "Go to example.com and tell me the page title"}.
    Pay the $1 minimum option. Then wait 60 seconds and GET
    /api/v3/sessions/{id} once to read the output — each request pays, so
    don't poll in a tight loop.
    ```

    The `fetch` tool handles the whole 402 → sign → retry loop. Use
    `check_endpoint_schema` first if you want to see the price and input schema
    without paying.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Coinbase Agentic Wallet quickstart

[Agentic Wallet](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/agentic-wallet/welcome) is a wallet Coinbase hosts for you, driven from the terminal with the [`awal`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/awal) CLI. Sign in with your email — no keys to manage — fund it with Apple Pay or a card, and pay for API calls with one command. The [agentic-wallet-skills](https://github.com/coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills) package teaches your coding agent the same commands.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install and sign in">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npx skills add coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills   # optional: teach your agent
    npx awal auth login you@example.com             # sends an OTP to your email
    npx awal auth verify 123456                     # paste the code
    npx awal status
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund with USDC on Base">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npx awal show      # opens the wallet UI → Fund → Apple Pay / card / Coinbase
    npx awal balance
    ```

    Or send USDC on Base directly to the address from `npx awal address`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the price, then pay">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npx awal x402 details https://x402.api.browser-use.com/api/v3/sessions
    ```

    shows our payment options (\$5 default / \$1 minimum, USDC on Base) and the
    task input schema, without paying. Then:

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx awal x402 pay https://x402.api.browser-use.com/api/v3/sessions \
      -X POST -d '{"task": "Go to example.com and tell me the page title"}' \
      --max-amount 5000000 --json
    ```

    `--max-amount` is in atomic USDC units: `1000000` = \$1.00.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Poll the session">
    The response contains the session `id`. Poll
    `https://x402.api.browser-use.com/api/v3/sessions/{id}` until `status` is
    `"stopped"`, then read `output`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

| Interface | MCP tools + CLI                   | CLI (+ skill for agents, [MCP variant](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/agentic-wallet/mcp/welcome)) |
| Best for  | Autonomous coding agents          | Humans who want fiat funding; CDP-ecosystem apps                                                  |

Building a production app instead of driving a CLI? Use
[`CdpX402Client`](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/quickstart-for-buyers) from
the CDP SDK (a CDP-managed server wallet) or [bring your own x402
client](/cloud/guides/x402#advanced-bring-your-own-x402-client).
