Bootstrap a Locus workspace — returns JWT and workspace ID for free.
What it does
This endpoint is part of the Build With Locus platform, which provides a REST API for deploying containerized services, Postgres, Redis, and custom domains on demand with pay-per-use credit billing. The `/v1/auth/mpp-sign-up` endpoint is intended to bootstrap a new workspace, returning a JWT token and workspace ID at no cost (free tier sign-up).
The endpoint is registered as an MPP (Micropayment Protocol) endpoint, though the probe did not receive a 402 challenge on HEAD or GET — it returned 404 instead. This likely means the endpoint only accepts POST requests for sign-up operations, which is standard for authentication/registration flows. The root of the MPP server responds with a JSON identity payload confirming it is the "Locus Platform API" version 0.1.0.
Documentation is extremely sparse: no OpenAPI spec, no docs route, no README, and no pricing page were found on the crawled domain. The endpoint's behavior and request schema must be inferred entirely from the listing title and description. Users should expect to POST a request body (likely containing an email or identifier) and receive a JWT plus workspace ID in return.

Quality
The endpoint returned 404 on HEAD/GET probes (likely requires POST), no OpenAPI schema or documentation is available, and the request/response format is entirely inferred from the listing title. Very sparse information overall.
