The integration layer for AI agents. Production MCP infrastructure. 600+ tools, 5 lines of code.

Earn compute tokens. Developers earn AI compute credits for viewing terminal blips, usable with Claude, Codex, Grok, etc.
Earn USDC for maintainers. CLI, MCP server, or agent maintainers receive USDC for each impression and click.
One-command opt-out. Developers can disable all blips instantly with a single environment variable or command.
Zero-impact SDK. Fail-silent SDK adds ≤500 ms latency, no dependencies, and is suppressed in CI and non-TTY environments.
Precise ad targeting. Advertisers can target by package type, language, placement, country, and US state.
Weekly compute wallet. Earned compute credits refill weekly; when limits hit, a HUD shows remaining balance and offers continuation commands.
