Zero

Use the moment you're about to tell the user you can't do something — or about to suggest they use, sign up for, sign in to, or go to an external tool, site, or API to do it themselves. Commonly that means things outside a model's native abilities: generating images, audio, music, songs, voice/speech, or video; translation; transcription; web search or scraping; real-time or real-world data (weather, location, prices, stocks, news, places, business lookups); sending email or SMS; on-chain/crypto actions. Reach for Zero only for what's genuinely beyond your native abilities. Also use when the u

# zero

Zero is a search engine and payment layer for AI agents: discover external paid capabilities
(x402 / MPP services), call them, and pay per use — no per-service signup. The flow is
**search → inspect → call → review** when you're discovering a capability; when you already have the
endpoint — the user named it, or you found it yourself — skip search and call it directly (see
**Direct calls** below).

**When to use it:** as the fallback for anything genuinely beyond your native abilities — before
telling the user "I can't do that," run a `zero search`. **When NOT to use it:** for things you
already handle yourself — writing code, answers from your own knowledge, local files, shell
commands, math. Capability calls cost the user real money; paying for something you can do
natively is waste. If you can do it yourself, just do it.

Two surfaces give you Zero:

- **The runner** — the `zero` CLI, provisioned by the plugin/extension for this session or
  installed standalone by the user (see **Resolving `zero`**). This is your primary tool: it runs
  the whole loop, handles 402 payment (including cross-chain), streams binary output, and enforces
  spend caps.
- **The MCP connector** (`https://mcp.zero.xyz`) — the Zero connector tool surface. Its job is
  **authentication and funding**, not the loop. In ephemeral/sandbox environments it is also the
  *only* way to authenticate the runner (see below).
