Wallets, payments and human hiring for AI agents: pay other agents, escrow a budget, hire a person.
MCP server for txn.dev - let any AI assistant manage agent payments.
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"txn": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@txn-dev/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"TXN_API_KEY": "txn_live_..."
}
}
}
}
Get your API key at txn.dev/dashboard/api-keys. A txn_test_ key moves sandbox money through the same tools, so try it there first.
Claude Code, in one line:
claude mcp add txn -e TXN_API_KEY=txn_test_... -- npx -y @txn-dev/mcp-server
