## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-claude-api-gateway-20dd9357 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need to run a one-off Claude AI query through KiteEndpoints — ask it to summarize the following article in three bullet points and pay the per-request fee with my USDC on Base.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Claude AI capabilities on a pay-per-request basis without an Anthropic subscription, or when your agent operates in a crypto-native environment using USDC on Base for microtransactions. It is well-suited for low-frequency or bursty workloads where a monthly subscription is not cost-effective. Avoid if you need guaranteed SLA, high throughput, or direct Anthropic API features like fine-tuning.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance on Base chain — payment fails and request is rejected
- Malformed request payload causing 400 error
- Claude API upstream timeout or rate limit returning 5xx
- Ambiguous or empty prompt resulting in minimal or refused response
- Network issues on Vercel hosting causing intermittent 502/503 errors

## How this service works

400+ paid API endpoints. Social media, AI, crypto, finance, weather, ecommerce, tools. Pay per request with USDC on Base chain.

## Output
