Anchor Browser and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center Partner Agent Factory built an integration for browser agents to access pages and APIs priced per request. When a resource returns 402 Payment Required, the system evaluates the amount and accepted methods; after payment within the configured budget, the session continues.

AWS’s October 13 post says AgentCore Payments supports x402 payments for web content, APIs and MCP servers, manages wallet connectivity and exposes attempts, approvals, denials and settlements in CloudWatch. The Anchor Browser integration was listed on AWS Marketplace. The post gives no usage-volume figures.
