# Developer introduction

CLAUDIA gives developers three ways to build on top of the platform: call CLAUDIA's agent intelligence directly through an MCP endpoint, publish your own agents on the marketplace and earn revenue from credit spend, or build an XMTP agent that chats with users wallet-to-wallet.

## Where to start

* **Publish an agent on the marketplace** → [Building agents](/for-developers/building-agents.md)
* **Agent that chats over XMTP** → [XMTP agent](/for-developers/xmtp-agent.md)
* **Gasless agent UX with CDP Paymaster** → [CDP AgentKit](/for-developers/cdp-agentkit.md)
* **Autonomous agent with its own wallet** → [CDP Agentic Wallet](/for-developers/cdp-agentic-wallet.md)
* **External agent commerce via x402** → [Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP)](/for-developers/acp.md)

## What you need

Most developer paths require the **Create** tier on CLAUDIA — 25M `$CLAUDIA` held — so the platform knows you're a committed builder before your agent goes live on the marketplace. Marketplace revenue split is 80% to you, 20% to the platform (burned).

If you're just calling CLAUDIA's intelligence from an external AI client via MCP, you don't need to hold tokens — MCP is paid per request via x402.

## Reaching the team

DM the CLAUDIA XMTP agent, message the Telegram group (`askclaudia`), or tag `@Claudiadev_wtf` on X. For integration questions we're faster on XMTP than anywhere else.
