Agentic Pay

A cross-platform payment engine that lets third-party AI agents send and receive payments over seven crypto rails: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, XRP, XMR, ZEC.

One Node.js core runs unmodified on Linux, Windows, and macOS. The same backend is reachable from iOS and Android via an installable Progressive Web App (PWA) — there is no separate native mobile codebase to maintain.

Every send, from any surface, passes through core/limits.js (per-agent spend caps + human-confirmation floor) and core/ledger.js (idempotency, so a retried tool call can never double-pay).

Quick start (any OS with Node.js 18+)

git clone <this repo>          # or unzip the delivered archive
cd agentic-pay
npm install

cp config/.env.example .env
cp config/config.example.json config/config.json
# edit both files — see docs/SETUP_<YOUR_OS>.md for exact values per rail

npm run start:rest     # REST API on :8787
npm run start:web      # PWA on :8788 (optional, for mobile/browser access)
npm run start:mcp      # MCP stdio server (for Claude Desktop / Claude Code)
node cli/index.js rails   # sanity check from the terminal

Start on testnets first. Every rail's example config defaults to a testnet or requires you to explicitly fill in mainnet values — this is intentional. Do not point real funds at this system until you've reviewed core/limits.js and set spend caps you're comfortable with.

Where to go next

What's genuinely production-ready here vs. what's a starting point

  • Production-shaped: the policy engine (per-tx cap, daily cap, confirmation floor, address allowlisting), the idempotent ledger, and the unified rail interface.

  • Starting point, needs hardening for real money at scale: the JSON-file ledger (swap for a real database under load), the static USD price table (wire in a live price feed), and key storage (move from .env to an OS keychain or HSM/KMS for anything beyond development — see core/keystore.js for the extension point).
