Add x402 payment execution to AI agents — per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents need to pay for APIs, services, or other agents.

{
"mcpServers": {
"agentpay": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["agentwallet-sdk@6.0.0"]
}
}
}| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Check agent wallet balance |
| Send payment to address or ENS |
| Query remaining budget |
| Audit trail of all payments |
Note: Spending policy is set by the orchestrator before delegating to the agent — not by the agent itself. This prevents agents from escalating their own spending limits. Configure policy viain your orchestration layer or pre-task hook, never as an agent-callable tool.set_policy
Prerequisites: Install the package before adding the MCP config —withoutnpxwill prompt for confirmation in non-interactive environments, causing the server to hang:-ynpm install -g agentwallet-sdk@6.0.0
