Summary

Adds LightningRod (Lightning Rod Labs) to the service directory — an AI forecasting API that predicts anything via OpenAI-compatible endpoints, with structured answers (binary, multiple-choice, continuous, free-response), optional web research, and low/medium/high reasoning effort.

Unlike a per-request proxy, LightningRod uses a credit + API-key model: agents pay once over MPP at POST /v1/mpp/topup to fund a balance and receive an API key, then call the forecasting endpoints with that key. Accepts Stripe and Tempo USDC.e.

Endpoints

Only POST /v1/mpp/topup carries an MPP payment (charge, dynamic, $1–$10,000, default $5). The forecasting endpoints (/v1/openai/chat/completions, /v1/openai/completions, /v1/openai/models) authenticate with the API key returned by top-up and draw down the prepaid balance — no per-request MPP payment — so they are listed without an amount (rendered as "—", no intent badge) purely to surface the product's API surface. Each description states the balance requirement. A code comment in the entry documents this so the routes aren't mistaken for missing prices.

Required checklist

• Service is live and accepting payments via MPP (not a placeholder)
• Entry added to schemas/services.ts
• Types pass: pnpm check:types
• Biome clean: pnpm check
• Discovery regenerates: node scripts/generate-discovery.ts (LightningRod present in discovery.json + llms.txt)
• Build succeeds: pnpm build (verified locally; static generation emits LightningRod into the services bundle. Requires an MPP_SECRET_KEY ≥ 32 bytes — CI supplies the real secret)

Recommended

• Register on MPPScan — to be completed by Lightning Rod Labs
