Foldset supports Akamai EdgeWorkers as a deployment target. Because Akamai deployments require per-account configuration that cannot be fully automated through the dashboard, setup is handled by our team.

​
What we deploy

Foldset deploys an EdgeWorker on Akamai that sits in front of your origin. It works the same way as our Cloudflare and AWS integrations:
  1. Requests hit the Akamai edge
  2. The Foldset EdgeWorker checks if the route requires payment based on your configured restrictions
  3. If payment is required and no valid x402 payment header is present, a 402 Payment Required response is returned
  4. If a valid payment is attached, the request is forwarded to your origin and the payment is settled
  5. On any error, the request passes through to your origin so your site stays up
This covers web content, API endpoints, and MCP server protection.

Update your robots.txt

Once Foldset is deployed, you want AI agents visiting your site so they can pay for access. If your robots.txt currently blocks AI crawlers, you should remove those rules. Foldset handles gating at the payment layer, so there is no need to block crawlers at the robots.txt level.
