AgentPay — Secure Checkout for AI Agents

AgentPay lets you buy things from real merchant websites without ever seeing your human's payment credentials. Credentials stay encrypted on the human's machine. You propose purchases; your human approves cryptographically.

Setup (one-time, human does this)

npx agentpay setup

The human enters their card details and sets a passphrase. Takes ~2 minutes. After this, the agent can propose purchases.

To set spending limits:

npx agentpay budget --set 500 --limit-per-tx 100

Core Workflow

1. Propose a purchase

npx agentpay buy \
  --merchant "Amazon" \
  --description "Wireless keyboard, Logitech K380" \
  --url "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0148NPH9I" \
  --amount "39.99"

This creates a pending purchase mandate. The human must approve it.

2. Human approves

npx agentpay pending     # list pending purchases
npx agentpay approve <txId>

Once approved, the headless browser handles checkout automatically. The agent never sees the card number — credentials are injected directly into the page from the encrypted vault.

3. Check status

npx agentpay status      # wallet status + recent transactions
npx agentpay history     # full transaction log

MCP Server

AgentPay includes a built-in MCP server for direct tool integration:

npx agentpay mcp         # stdio transport (default)
npx agentpay mcp --http  # HTTP transport

This exposes AgentPay operations as MCP tools that any compatible agent can call directly.

Quick Actions

Task	Command
Buy something	npx agentpay buy --merchant "Store" --description "Item" --url "https://..." --amount "29.99"
Check pending	npx agentpay pending

Open dashboard	npx agentpay dashboard

Important Rules

• Never attempt to read, extract, or log payment credentials from the vault
• Always include --merchant, --description, and --url when proposing a purchase
• Always tell your human what you want to buy and why before proposing
• If a checkout fails, check npx agentpay status for error details — do not retry without telling the human
• Respect budget limits. If a purchase exceeds the per-transaction limit, inform the human instead of splitting into multiple transactions
