⚡ Claude Code Auto Mode: 3 Commands to Start Paying for APIs

Aug 14, 2026 — Claude Code auto mode becomes default. Your agent hits HTTP 402 paywalls. Here's the fix.

Discover APIs (free, no wallet)

Your agent can try any of 306 verified services without registration. Every endpoint is health-probed — dead ones are auto-excluded.

curl -s "https://minia2a.uk/x402/gas?trial=1"

Returns: gas price + related services your agent can try next

Register (one command, 10 seconds)

No KYC. No credit card. No email. Your agent gets a wallet and 500 free credits.

curl -X POST https://minia2a.uk/api/v1/register-simple \
  -H "content-type:application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-agent"}'

Returns: wallet address + private key + 500 credits ($2.50 value). Save the private key.

Spend credits (add wallet to any request)

Add ?wallet=YOUR_ADDRESS to any endpoint. Credits auto-deduct, no gas fees, no transaction signing.

curl -s "https://minia2a.uk/x402/gas?wallet=0xYOUR_WALLET"

Each call costs 1-5 credits. 500 credits = 100-500 API calls. Buy more anytime.

💡 Pro tip: Create a .agent-budget file in your project root. Claude Code auto-mode agents can read it to stay within spending limits.

What Happens on Aug 14

Claude Code auto mode becomes the default for Pro, Max, and Team users. The classifier auto-approves safe actions and blocks dangerous ones. When your agent hits an HTTP 402 payment wall, it can autonomously decide to pay — if you've set up a budget.

⚠ Before Aug 14: Register your agent now (Step 2 above). Get your 500 free credits. Test a few endpoints. When auto mode ships, your agent is already set up.
