store.vector-upsert

STORE: upsert a vector for semantic retrieval, scoped to YOUR wallet. Bring your own embedding (any model, any dimension up to 4096) — store it under an id with optional body text + JSON meta, then find nearest neighbors with store.vector-query. Re-upserting the same id replaces it. This is the memory/RAG primitive for agents: no embedding key required on our side, no account, pay per call with x402. Kept on a rolling 90-day window.

Overview

The vector upsert API is a pay-per-call store endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. STORE: upsert a vector for semantic retrieval, 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 upsert 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

• Give an AI agent live vector upsert lookups as a tool, with no API key to provision or rotate — the agent pays per call from a wallet you fund.
• Enrich records in a data pipeline with store data, paying only for the calls you actually make instead of a monthly seat.
• Ground LLM answers in authoritative store data to cut hallucination, then optionally request a signed response for verifiability.
• Prototype against the live vector upsert API in minutes using the free trial call, then flip to per-call x402 payment for production with no code change.

Parameters

Code samples

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

# 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-upsert' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>' \
  -d '{"ns":"example","id":"example","embedding":[1],"body":"example"}'

# 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-upsert'

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

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the vector upsert API?

No. store.vector-upsert 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 upsert API cost?

$0.0050 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 upsert 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-upsert 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.
