PayRouter
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
PayRouter
Universal agentic payment router. One MCP server, every payment rail.
PayRouter gives any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or custom — the ability to pay across multiple payment rails through a single interface, with cross-rail budget enforcement and a unified audit trail.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘MCP server (Streamable HTTP) — any MCP client connects and gets payment tools
Mandate engine — cross-rail budget limits, category/merchant restrictions, deny-by-default
Smart routing — picks the best rail, falls back on failure
Dashboard — live transactions, budget bars, rail config, setup wizard
Docs site — Fumadocs + Next 16, Stripe-like documentation

Quick start
git clone https://github.com/ram0verflow/payrouter.git
cd payrouter
nvm use # Node 22
pnpm install
pnpm -r build
pnpm --filter @payrouter/server startIf no rails are configured, the setup wizard opens at http://localhost:3000/setup.
Connect an agent
Add to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"payrouter": {
"url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp"
}
}
}The agent gets 5 tools: request_payment, check_budget, list_transactions, discover_merchant_rails, revoke_all.
MCP tools
request_payment
merchant: "https://api.example.com"
amount: 0.01
currency: "USD"
preferred_rail: "auto"Checks mandate → routes to best rail → executes payment → returns normalized receipt.
check_budget
Returns remaining budget across all rails for the current agent.
list_transactions
Recent transaction history with rail/category/date filters.
discover_merchant_rails
Probes a URL to detect which payment rails the merchant accepts (HTTP 402 headers, etc).
revoke_all
Emergency kill switch — revokes all payment capabilities immediately.
