Tempo launched Mercator, a search index over machine-payable tools built on open protocols MPP and x402, indexing 30,000+ tools and services. The pitch: giving agents a search engine for the world's paid tools lets small models punch above their weight at lower cost than larger models, with $5 in Mercator credits available via X/GitHub sign-up.
