defmodule MPP do
@moduledoc """
Elixir implementation of the [Machine Payments Protocol](https://mpp.dev) (MPP).
MPP enables machine-to-machine payments via HTTP 402. This library provides
Plug middleware that adds pay-per-call billing to any Phoenix or Plug application.
## How it works
1. Client requests a protected resource
2. Server responds with `402 Payment Required` and a payment challenge
3. Client fulfills payment (Stripe, stablecoins, or on-chain)
4. Client retries with payment credential in `Authorization: Payment` header
5. Server verifies payment and returns the resource with a `Payment-Receipt` header
No user accounts. No API keys. No signup flow. Payment is authentication.
## Protocol
Built on the [MPP specification](https://github.com/tempoxyz/mpp-specs) —
an IETF draft co-developed by Stripe and Tempo Labs. Also supports
[x402](https://docs.x402.org) for on-chain payments.
## Status
Early development. Payment method implementations coming soon.
