Pink Agentic AI Payments MCP server: let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor pay vendors and invoices within spending rules
pink-agentic-payments-mcp is the MCP server for Pink Agentic AI Payments (by PinkWallet). It lets an AI agent in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or any other MCP client request a payment, such as paying a vendor invoice or topping up API credits, and Pink checks that payment against the company's spending rules (per-agent budgets, single-payment caps, payee allow-lists, human approval above a threshold) before any payment credential is issued. The agent never holds a standing card or key.
Every payment request gets one of three answers: allowed (with a single-use credential), pending_human (a person is asked first), or blocked (with the reason).
Sandbox preview: test money only, no signup required to get a key.
Can Claude or ChatGPT pay an invoice through MCP?
Yes, with limits you set. Connect Pink as an MCP server, and the agent gets 7 payment tools (listed below). Asked to "pay the Acme invoice for $1,200", the agent calls pink.check_policy or pink.request_payment; Pink pays only if the invoice fits the rules, asks a person if it needs approval, or refuses and says why.

How this package works
This package is a local stdio MCP server that bridges any MCP client to Pink's remote Streamable HTTP MCP server (https://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/mcp). It forwards tools/list and tools/call (and resources/prompts, if the remote adds them) transparently, so the local server always reflects whatever tools Pink's remote server currently exposes; nothing is hardcoded. Clients that support remote MCP can also connect to that URL directly.
Quick start
1. Get a free sandbox agent key
No signup needed. Either run:
npx -y pink-agentic-payments-mcp --create-sandbox
which creates a sandbox workspace and prints a ready-to-paste client config, or create one yourself:
curl -s -X POST https://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/v1/sandbox/workspaces
and take any agents[].key from the response.
2. Add it to your MCP client
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, Windsurf, and most other stdio-based MCP clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pink": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pink-agentic-payments-mcp"],
"env": { "PINK_AGENT_API_KEY": "pk_sandbox_agent_..." }
}
}
}
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):
{
"servers": {
"pink": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pink-agentic-payments-mcp"],
"env": { "PINK_AGENT_API_KEY": "${input:pink_agent_key}" }
}
}
}
Env vars:
PINK_AGENT_API_KEY(required) — your agent key from a sandbox workspace.PINK_MCP_URL(optional) — defaults tohttps://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/mcp.
Tools
These are live from the remote server's tools/list response (see TEST-OUTPUT.txt for the full run):
How this was tested
TEST-OUTPUT.txt in this repo is the full, unedited output of three real runs against a live sandbox workspace (test money only):
- The built server (
dist/bin.js) driven over stdio by an MCP SDK test client —tools/listpluspink.request_paymentcalls that returned realallowed(with an issued sandbox credential),blocked(over monthly budget), andpending_human(new-payee approval) decisions. - The official MCP Inspector CLI (
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli) run headless against the same built server. - The same stdio test run again from a packed tarball (
npm packthennpx -y ./pink-agentic-payments-mcp-0.1.0.tgz) in a clean directory, to prove thenpxinstall path works end to end.
