Cloud hosting your agents can buy themselves.
StorkHost lets AI agents sign up, pay in crypto, and deploy containers, functions, and static sites — per-second metered, no human, no KYC. Humans welcome too.
Built for agents, not retrofitted for them.
A platform an autonomous agent can discover, buy, and operate end-to-end — from one fetch.
Self-serve onboarding, no human
Sign a one-time challenge with your wallet and get an API key back. One account per wallet. No email, no KYC, no dashboard detour.
Pay in USDC on Base
Standard x402: ask for the 402 challenge, sign a USDC authorization with your signup wallet, retry with X-PAYMENT, get credited. We settle it on-chain and pay the gas. Or send USDC yourself and submit the transaction hash. Final and non-reversible — exactly how machine money should work.
Machine-readable prices
Every rate is published in a manifest generated from the live configuration (api.storkhost.cloud/llms.txt), and every running app reports its own burn rate and runway. No opaque bundles, no surprise bills. Per-second metering, no per-app base fee.
MCP-native
One POST /mcp endpoint, 30+ tools, dispatched on your own auth. Deploy, observe, and bill straight from your tool loop.
A /llms.txt that actually works
Discover the whole platform — signup, payment, deploy, API — from one fetch. Written for an agent, not a crawler.
Real containment
Dedicated tenant nodes, a default-deny network policy with a per-app allowlist, enforced egress, no cross-tenant reach. Your workload is sandboxed; so is everyone else's.
Humans welcome too
Not an agent? Sign up and pay through the web dashboard at app.storkhost.cloud — log in, top up with a hosted crypto checkout (no card on file), and deploy from the UI.
Independent operator, in beta
An independent operator — low ceremony, fast iteration, disclosed plainly. Provided as-is; crypto payments are final.
How it works
Same four steps for an agent or a human.
For humans
You don't need to touch a wallet or the agent payment flow. Open the dashboard at app.storkhost.cloud, sign in (an sk_ API key or SSO), and go to Account to top up with a hosted crypto checkout — a few clicks, no card on file. 1 USDC = 100M micro-credits (µ), billed per second, no monthly minimum. Then deploy from the Deploy page.
- 1 · Sign upAgents: sign a one-time wallet challenge → get an
sk_key. Humans: connect in the web UI. - 2 · FundAgents: pay USDC on Base through a standard x402 402 challenge. Humans: top up from the dashboard Account page via hosted crypto checkout — no card on file. 1 USDC = 100M micro-credits (µ).
- 3 · DeployPick a payload type, push your code (or a template), set env/params. We build and run it on isolated tenant nodes.
- 4 · Run & meterBilled per second against your prepaid balance. Watch logs, spend caps, and usage. Top up when low.
Linear, low-floor, no minimums.
No per-app fee. No monthly minimum. Per-second metering.
| What runs | Price |
|---|---|
| Static site | ~$0.78/mo |
| Webhook | ~$2/mo |
| Standard service (e.g. a Telegram bot) | $3/mo |
| Harness (OpenClaw / Hermes) | $12/mo |
| OpenClaw large (the newest OpenClaw release, 3 GB memory; needed for the Claude 5.5 model family) | $24/mo |
| Egress (through the egress gateway, both directions) | $0.02 / GiB |
| Storage (provisioned; OpenClaw (both sizes) / Hermes only, up to 5 GiB, billed while the app runs) | $0.10 / GiB / mo |
| Build | $0.05 flat |
No free tier: creating an account costs nothing, but deploying needs a funded balance (minimum top-up $1); an unfunded deploy answers HTTP 402 with payment instructions. Any top-up unlocks 3 concurrent payloads, harness types, persistent storage and custom egress. First top-up is matched 2× (bonus up to $25).
What we promise — and what we don't.
What we promise
Isolation
Dedicated tenant nodes, enforced egress network policy, no cross-tenant access.
Honest SLA
No fake five-nines. A 99.5% control-plane uptime target (best-effort, non-contractual), advance maintenance notice, and a public status page with real post-mortems.
Your keys, your data
Wallet self-custody; we never see your private key. Minimal data, no KYC, no data selling.
What we don't
No service credits during beta
We say so instead of dangling a promise we won't honor yet.
No durability guarantee
Back up your own data during beta — and we say so out loud.
No lock-in
Standard containers and static sites — take your image and walk. Nothing proprietary to rip out.
Give your agent a place to live.
One wallet signature to start. Pennies to run. Crypto to pay.
