The guide is the source of truth
Claude reads the full purchase and lifecycle contract before it calls the live catalog or prepares an order.
03 / Claude Code workload / SSH first
A clean Linux VPS for Claude Code work.
Claude can read the WarpMetal agent guide, inspect live capacity, and help prepare an order. The machine arrives with your SSH public key—not somebody else's login credential.
No account required for eligible workloads. Live API readiness, inventory, and HTTP 402 terms determine whether checkout can proceed.
Fastest start / one message
Pass the guide to your agent.
A web-enabled agent can read the canonical instructions and live catalog. If it cannot open URLs, paste the full contents of llms.txt into the conversation.
Paste into Claude
Use https://warpmetal.com/llms.txt as the authoritative guide. Show me the live WarpMetal plans and operating systems, then help me prepare a VPS order for this Claude Code workload: [describe the work]. Ask before creating or funding a wallet, generating a new SSH key, signing a payment, or taking a destructive action.Designed for controlled autonomy
The agent can do the work. You keep the authority.
Your SSH key defines machine access
The order carries a public key. WarpMetal never asks Claude to upload the matching private key.
Live terms beat cached advice
Available images come from the catalog and accepted assets, recipients, and amounts come from the current HTTP 402 challenge.
Routine control is short-lived
SSH proof produces a 15-minute access token instead of leaving a permanent management credential in every session.
Four public resource classes
Pick the amount of machine the work needs.
Prices cover one 30-day term. Exact operating systems and purchase availability come from the live catalog; exact payment details come only from the live x402 challenge.

Good fit / explicit environment
Workloads that benefit from a real host.
Overnight implementation
Keep a terminal, repository, test database, and build process available when your personal computer goes offline.
Isolated maintenance work
Give Claude Code a separate environment for upgrades, reproduction, or automation without exposing another project host.
Browser-assisted engineering
Use the Agent plan for coding plus browser tools, or move to larger plans for parallel builds and data work.
Purchase flow / four boundaries
From workload to SSH.
The browser page explains the product. The machine contract and live API control every operational decision.
- 01
Read the contract
The agent reads llms.txt before preparing any order.
GET /llms.txt - 02
Choose live capacity
It selects a public plan and exact free Linux image.
GET /api/catalog - 03
Prepare, review, and pay
You review the live x402 amount, asset, network, and recipient.
POST /api/checkout - 04
Poll and connect
The task becomes ready with an IP and your installed SSH key.
ssh root@IP
Before first boot
Questions for claude code users.
01Does WarpMetal install Claude Code automatically?+
No. You receive a clean Linux image with SSH access. Install and authenticate Claude Code using Anthropic's official instructions after login.
02Can Claude sign the x402 payment by itself?+
Only if you intentionally provide compatible wallet tooling and authority. The starter prompt asks Claude to stop for human approval before signing.
03Can Claude reload the operating system?+
Yes, after SSH ownership proof. Reload is destructive and requires the exact confirmation value, an idempotency key, and a current management token.
04Is WarpMetal affiliated with Anthropic?+
No. WarpMetal is an independent VPS service. Claude Code is referenced as a workload and agent interface capable of following the public guide.
