# Use with agents \[Connect your coding agent to MPP-enabled services]

Agents can automatically interact with MPP-enabled services. Here's how to get started.

## Tempo Wallet <Badge variant="info" data-toc-exclude>Recommended</Badge>

The [Tempo Wallet](https://wallet.tempo.xyz) is a managed MPP client with built in spend controls and service discovery. Agents can use tempo wallet to seamlessly pay for powerful new capabilities on demand.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Agent">
    Paste this into your agent to set up Tempo Wallet:

    ```
    Read https://wallet.tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Human">
    ::::steps

    #### Install the CLI

    ```bash
    curl -fsSL https://tempo.xyz/install | bash
    ```

    #### Connect your wallet

    ```bash
    tempo wallet login
    ```

    #### Verify setup

    ```bash
    tempo wallet whoami
    ```

    #### List available services

    ```bash
    tempo wallet services
    ```

    #### Make a paid request

    ```bash
    tempo request -X POST \
      --json '{"prompt": "a sunset over the ocean"}' \
      https://fal.mpp.tempo.xyz/fal-ai/flux/dev
    ```

## mppx

The [`mppx`](/sdk/typescript/cli) CLI is a lightweight MPP client bundled with the `mppx` package. It is designed for simple use cases and debugging during development.

::::steps

### Install

:::code-group

```bash [npm]
npm install -g mppx
```

```bash [pnpm]
pnpm add -g mppx
```

```bash [bun]
bun add -g mppx
```

:::

### Create an account

```bash
mppx account create
```

### Make a paid request

```bash
mppx https://mpp.dev/api/ping/paid
```
