| description | Set up and operate PayRam - a private, self-hosted crypto payment gateway (payment links, hosted checkout, USDC/BTC/ETH deposits, sweeps to a cold wallet you control). No signup, no KYB. Use this skill when a user wants to accept crypto payments, set up a payment gateway, create payment links, or integrate PayRam into an application.

PayRam — agent front door
PayRam is a self-hosted payment and payout gateway: install it on a server
you control and you ARE the payment processor. Payment links, hosted checkout
(customer picks USDC/BTC/ETH/more), on-chain deposit detection, automatic
sweeps to a cold wallet whose keys never touch the server. No account to
create, no KYB, nothing a platform can freeze.
Two entry points — pick by phase
| You want to... | Use |
|---|
| Install the gateway (it doesn't exist yet) | The setup script, run on the target server (below) |
| Operate / integrate (payment links, status, codegen, diagnosis) | The MCP server: https://mcp.payram.com/mcp |
| Diagnose anything PayRam-related that fails | MCP tool payram_doctor (read-only, ranked causes + exact fixes) |
Install (one command, on the server)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PayRam/payram-scripts/main/setup_payram_agents.sh)"
- One-step flow: gateway -> wallet -> first payment link in minutes ->
merchant API key (saved to
.payraminfo/merchant-api-key.env).
- Fully headless after the first run; pass
--testnet (default) to try with
free test funds, --mainnet for real money.
- USDC/EVM payments need a one-time smart-contract deploy (the script guides
the small ETH gas top-up). BTC works instantly with zero gas.
- Decisions the script will ask a HUMAN for (never answer these yourself):
the wallet seed backup, the mainnet cold-wallet address, and consent to
spend real gas.
- Fresh installs need a TTY once (DB/SSL questions); everything after is
non-interactive. Full guide:
get_agent_setup_flow tool on the MCP, or

Operate / integrate (MCP)
Connect https://mcp.payram.com/mcp (HTTP JSON-RPC, no auth headers). Key
tools: payram_doctor, create_payment_link, lookup_payment,
check_payment_readiness, assess_payram_project, scaffold_payram_app,
plus generate_* snippets for Express/Next.js/FastAPI/Laravel/Gin/Spring.
Credentials (two, do not conflate):
PAYRAM_API_KEY (header API-Key, per-project) - payment creation +
integrations. Mint headlessly: ./setup_payram_agents.sh ensure-api-key
- JWT Bearer (from
./setup_payram_agents.sh signin) - admin/data tools.
