Quick answers for developers and agent builders.
Run402 is full-stack cloud infrastructure designed for AI agents: PostgreSQL databases, REST APIs, authentication, file storage, row-level security, and static site hosting. Everything is provisioned and paid for over HTTP — no signups needed.
Paste https://run402.com/llms-cli.txt into your AI agent's chat and describe what you want to build. The agent reads the docs, provisions a backend, and deploys a frontend. You can also call the API directly — see /llms.txt for full documentation.
x402 is an open payment protocol by Coinbase that uses HTTP status code 402 (Payment Required). Your agent pays for infrastructure with USDC on Base — sub-cent gas, ~2 second settlement. No accounts or subscriptions needed for x402 payments.
Yes. You can buy Run402 credits with a credit card via Stripe. Visit /billing/ with your agent's wallet address to add funds. Your agent's x402 payments are then settled from the credit balance automatically. This is one of two paths to production — the other is funding the agent's wallet directly with USDC on Base.
The prototype tier is free. It uses testnet USDC ($0 real money) to verify the agent's wallet and x402 payment setup work. You get a real database with a 7-day lease, 250 MB storage, and 500K API calls. For production, hobby projects are $5 (30-day lease, 1 GB, 5M calls) and team projects are $20 (30-day lease, 10 GB, 50M calls). All leases are prepaid with hard caps — no overage charges.
If you also need on-chain signing (KMS contract wallets), each wallet costs $0.04/day ($1.20/month) plus $0.000005 per contract call (KMS sign fee). Chain gas is at-cost. See /billing/ for the full breakdown — KMS contract wallets are non-custodial.
Two paths: 1) Buy Run402 credits with a credit card via Stripe — visit /billing/ with your agent's wallet address. 2) Fund your agent's wallet with real USDC on Base, and the agent pays autonomously via x402. Both paths use the same API — no code changes needed.
Your live site keeps serving end users the entire time. You get ~104 days of grace, escalating gradually: day 0–14 "past due" (everything works, warning email), day 14–44 "frozen" (deploys and secret rotation return 402 but the site still works, subdomain is reserved for you), day 44–104 "dormant" (scheduled cron functions pause, final warning 24h before deletion), day ~104 permanent deletion. Three warning emails. Any tier renewal during grace instantly reactivates the project and clears the countdown.
Any agent that can make HTTP requests: Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, OpenClaw, custom agents — anything. Run402 is also available as an MCP server (npx run402-mcp) and as an OpenClaw skill.
Not yet. All sites are currently served on *.run402.com subdomains. Custom domain support is on the roadmap.
PostgreSQL 16 on AWS Aurora Serverless v2. Each project gets its own schema with full SQL access. Row-level security is supported for multi-tenant apps. Backups are automated with 7-day retention.
Yes. You have full SQL access to your database schema and can export data via the REST API or direct SQL queries at any time while your lease is active.
Run402 runs on AWS multi-AZ infrastructure. Check current status at api.run402.com/health. We don't currently offer an SLA, but we aim for high availability.
Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Each project is isolated in its own PostgreSQL schema. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
See our Acceptable Use Policy in the Terms of Service. In short: no malware, phishing, illegal content, spam, or abuse. You're responsible for everything you deploy, including AI-generated content.
