Buy things from real websites on behalf of your human. Use when you need to purchase a product, complete a checkout, order something online, or propose a purchase for human approval. Handles encrypted credential storage, cryptographic purchase mandates, and headless browser checkout on any merchant site. The agent never sees the card. Use when this capability is needed.
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.

The human enters their card details and sets a passphrase. Takes ~2 minutes. After this, the agent can propose purchases.
To set spending limits:
<!-- tomevault:3.0:skill_md:2026-04-07 -->npx agentpay budget --set 500 --limit-per-tx 100
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.
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.
npx agentpay status # wallet status + recent transactions
npx agentpay history # full transaction log
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.
