Tempo Launches Mercator Tool Router for AI Agents
- —Mercator ranks services by fit, reliability and cost, and combines multiple paid tools into a single workflow
- —Payments use the MPP and x402 standards, while Tempo itself accepts MACH, USDC.e and pathUSD
- —GPT-5.6 Luna with Mercator improved from 66.8% to 70.3%, within 2.3 points of GPT-5.6 Sol
- —Mercator competes with MPP, AgentCash and Pay.sh but adds ranking and multi-tool workflows
Why it matters: Crypto payments are becoming a base layer for AI agents, expanding real demand for stablecoins and micropayments.
