# x402vps Docker Container Provisioning

> x402vps Docker Container Provisioning is a paid API for AI agents from x402vps.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

## 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 x402vps-docker-container-provisioning-4bae977b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a Docker container for me using the atom plan with the alpine:3.19 image, leased for 1 hour — I want to pay with USDC on Base, no account needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs on-demand, ephemeral compute — especially when no prior account, API key, or subscription is acceptable and payment via USDC on Base (x402 protocol) is available. Ideal for autonomous agents that need to spin up isolated Docker environments programmatically and pay per use without human involvement in account setup.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance on Base — payment fails and container is not created
- Invalid or unsupported Docker image — container creation may fail
- Payment protocol (x402) not supported by client — agent must implement x402 payment flow
- Network timeout during provisioning — container may not be returned
- Plan type not recognized — returns error or falls back to default plan

## How this service works

Provision Docker containers on demand. Pay per lease with USDC on Base. No signup, no API key. Built for AI agents.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a container ID (e.g. ctr_4cb194), the plan name, the Docker image used, the running status, the number of lease hours, and the USDC amount charged for the lease.
