store.vector-query

STORE: nearest-neighbor search over vectors you upserted in a namespace, scoped to YOUR wallet. Pass a query embedding (same dimensionality as the stored vectors) and get the top-K most similar by cosine similarity, each with its body + meta + score (1.0 = identical). The retrieval half of agent memory / RAG — bring your own query embedding. Querying does NOT extend TTLs. Private to your wallet (the x402 payer).

Overview

The vector query API is a pay-per-call store endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. STORE: nearest-neighbor search over vectors you upserted in a namespace, scoped to YOUR wallet.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in vector query data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs store data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

Use cases

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
nsrequiredstringNamespace (index) to search.
embeddingrequiredarrayQuery embedding (float array), same dimensionality as the stored vectors.
topKintegerHow many neighbors to return. Default 10, max 100.
min 1 · max 100

Code samples

cURLbash
# 1. Probe the endpoint with no auth — receive 402 with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS -X POST 'https://2s.io/api/store/vector-query' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"ns":"example","embedding":[1],"topK":1}'

# 2. Sign the EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for the advertised price +
#    payTo from the 402 envelope, then retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS -X POST 'https://2s.io/api/store/vector-query' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>' \
  -d '{"ns":"example","embedding":[1],"topK":1}'

# Or just use the canonical runner — it handles the whole loop:
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/store/vector-query'

MCP — Claude Desktop / AgentKit / any MCP hostjson
// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

// claude_desktop_config.json

// 2. Once the server is running, agents call this tool via standard MCP:

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the vector query API?
No. store.vector-query is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the vector query API cost?
$0.0100 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the vector query API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call store.vector-query from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
