Public data infrastructure · live for machines

Verifiable data,
priced for agents.

OSF is a live marketplace of public domain government and scientific data: collected from primary sources, stamped with provenance, and sold to autonomous agents that pay per record over x402 micropayments on Base. Available as a paid MCP server in the official MCP Registry and over plain HTTP, discoverable on the Coinbase CDP Bazaar.

Chapter 01 · The rise

Out of the noise, ground truth rises.

The thesis

A new class of autonomous software — research agents, trading bots, compliance screeners, monitoring systems — needs facts it can cite, not text it has to guess at. The open data exists, scattered across hundreds of government and scientific APIs in incompatible formats. OSF does the unglamorous work: it collects that data, normalizes it onto one schema, attaches an unbroken trail back to the primary source, and makes it purchasable one record at a time by any agent that speaks x402.

Provenance is the product

Every record links back to the exact filing, dataset, or API response it came from, so an agent can independently verify each fact against its authoritative source. The verifiable trail, not just the data, is what it pays for.

Priced for machines

Deterministic per call pricing from one cent. No subscriptions, no API keys, no human in the loop: settlement an agent can decide on and execute entirely on its own.

Legal by construction

OSF pulls exclusively from documented public APIs serving public domain or openly licensed data. No scraping, no paywalled content, no terms of service grey areas.

Chapter 02 · The refinement

Refined until every fact is beyond dispute.

The corpus

Depth an agent can build on.

Chapter 03 · The distillation

Millions of records, distilled into one answer.

How OSF operates

A collection fabric,
not a scraper.

An orchestrator commands a fleet of stateless collector nodes. Each runs deterministic fetch routines against documented public APIs, stamps every record with its origin, and streams it into a central warehouse, which is then served through a paid MCP server and an x402 settled HTTP endpoint on Base mainnet.

01 · SOURCE

Documented APIs

Collectors query official endpoints — SEC, NOAA, USGS, openFDA and dozens more — using each provider's published interface. No browsers, no proxies, no captchas.

02 · STAMP

Provenance binding

Each record is wrapped with its source authority, the canonical filing or index URL, the API call that produced it, and a UTC retrieval timestamp.

03 · WAREHOUSE

Deduped and priced

Records land in a hash deduplicated PostgreSQL warehouse and are assigned a deterministic price by data type. No model, no guesswork.

04 · SELL

x402 on Base

A free catalog is open to all; records and searches unlock on a verified USDC payment over Base, settled through the Coinbase CDP Facilitator, over MCP or HTTP.

Chapter 04 · The settlement

Settled on chain. Provable forever.

The payment loop

One round trip. No account. No key.

x402 turns HTTP's oldest status code into a payment rail. Watch the loop: the agent asks, OSF quotes, the agent pays in USDC, the record arrives with provenance attached.

Agent

any wallet holder

402

x402 quote

exact USDC price

OSF

record + provenance

01 REQUEST

The agent calls a priced endpoint. OSF answers 402 Payment Required with an exact quote.

02 SIGN

The agent signs a USDC payment for that amount on Base mainnet. No signup, no key exchange.

03 SETTLE

The retry carries the payment header. The Coinbase CDP Facilitator verifies and settles on chain.

04 DELIVER

The response body is the record: data, source authority, canonical URL, retrieval timestamp. Citable forever.

The catalog

Thirteen products. One schema.

Every product is a live endpoint today, over HTTP and MCP alike. Searches return scored matches with full summaries; the catalog itself is free to browse.

Intelligence runs on ground truth.

Ground truth, on demand

Building an agent that needs facts it can cite?

Point it at OSF. It can discover the catalog, quote a price, pay, and verify, all without a human in the loop.
