Overview
sockt.dev is a secure, sandboxed compute-on-demand platform built specifically for autonomous AI agents. Agents can provision isolated sandboxes, execute command suites, read and write files, pay per second in sats via Bitcoin Lightning or using pre-loaded account credits, and terminate their own environments with zero human intervention.
We offer two integration routes: the MCP Server (Model Context Protocol) at https://api.sockt.dev/v1/mcp (for LLM agents using built-in tool use), or the programmatic SDK clients and REST API (for traditional script-driven logic).

Authentication
sockt.dev supports two billing systems depending on your API credential context:
| Billing Model | Credential Header | Autonomous Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Credits Billing | Authorization: Bearer sockt_live_... | Usage is debited automatically from your account's USD credit balance. |
| Lightning Billing | Authorization: Bearer sbx_... | Anonymous pay-as-you-go. Create the sandbox anonymously, pay the BOLT11 invoice, and manage it with the returned token. Connect any external Lightning wallet as an MCP tool and allow the agent to pay its own way. |
Rate Limits
Default rate limit is **300 requests per minute** per credentials principal. Excess API transactions will receive a HTTP 429 rate limited plain-text envelope.
