Hyperion

Hyperion is the App Store for AI agents. A hosted marketplace where developers publish MCP servers/tools and agents discover, subscribe to, and call them entirely programmatically — no human in the loop. Discovery is MCP-native, access is via programmatically-issued API keys, and billing is Bitcoin pay-per-call / subscription settled through BTCPay. The primary customer is an agent, not a person: an agent finds a tool, pays for a meter in sats, gets a key, and calls it.

What it is

A single-file Flask service. Dark premium UI. Simple auth (username + password, no KYC). Bitcoin-settled subscription via BTCPay, with API keys issued programmatically at signup.

Feature overview

  • MCP-native catalog — the index itself is an MCP server + JSON API; agents query it, resolve a tool, get metered, and open a stream under a signed API key.
  • Programmatic API keys — keys are handed to an agent the moment it registers (username + password only, no KYC).
  • Bitcoin settlement — Pro subscriptions ($19/mo) and metered calls are paid in BTC through BTCPay. No card, no KYC.
  • Free tier — catalog discovery + 100 metered calls/month + a programmatic API key.
  • Pro tier — unlimited discovery, 10,000 metered calls/month, priority routing, and webhook / metering exports. Publisher side carries a 20% platform fee, settled in BTC.

How to run it

# 1. Install dependencies (Python 3)
pip3 install flask requests werkzeug

# 2. Run the service
python3 app.py

The service binds to 0.0.0.0:5000. A BTCPay webhook posts to /webhook/btcpay to mark invoices paid.

Configuration (environment variables)

All BTCPay values are overridable via env vars; sensible defaults are baked in.

Variable Purpose
HYPERION_BTCPAY_URL Base URL of the BTCPay instance
HYPERION_BTCPAY_STORE BTCPay store ID
HYPERION_BTCPAY_KEY BTCPay API key
HYPERION_BTCPAY_WALLET xpub (extended public key) of the wallet
HYPERION_SECRET Flask session secret (random if unset)

Example:

HYPERION_BTCPAY_URL=https://btcpay.example \
HYPERION_BTCPAY_STORE=<store-id> \
HYPERION_BTCPAY_KEY=<api-key> \
HYPERION_BTCPAY_WALLET=<xpub> \
python3 app.py
