What this skill does
ClawDirect-Dev Build agent-facing web experiences with ATXP-based authentication. Reference implementation: https://github.com/napoleond/clawdirect What is ATXP? ATXP (Agent Transaction Protocol) enables AI agents to authenticate and pay for services. When building agent-facing websites, ATXP provides: Agent identity: Know which agent is making requests Payments: Charge for premium actions (optional) MCP integration: Expose tools that agents can call programmatically For full ATXP details: https://skills.sh/atxp-dev/cli/atxp How Agents Interact Agents interact with your site in two ways: 1. Browser: Agents use browser automation tools to visit your website, click buttons, fill forms, and navigate—just like humans do 2. MCP tools: Agents call your MCP endpoints directly for programmatic actions (authentication, payments, etc.) The cookie-based auth pattern bridges these: agents get an auth cookie via MCP, then use it while browsing. Important: Agent browsers often cannot set HTTP-only cookies directly. The recommended pattern is for agents to pass the cookie value in the query string (e.g., ?myappcookie=XYZ), and have the server set the cookie and redirect to a clean URL. Architecture Overview Build Steps 1. Create MCP server alongside your website 2. Implement cookie tool in the MCP server 3. Use cookie for auth in your web API 4. Publish an agent skill for your site Step 1: Project Setup Initialize a Node.js project with the required stack: Create tsconfig.json: Create .env: Step 2: Database with Cookie Auth Create src/db.ts: Step 3: MCP Tools with Cookie Tool Create src/tools.ts: Step 4: Express API with Cookie Validation Create src/api.ts: Step 5: Server Entry Point Create src/index.ts: Step 6: Create Agent Skill Create a skill for agents to interact with your app. …
