clearance-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for Clearance — the human approval API for AI agent commerce.

Stop letting agents move money you didn't approve. One API call. The human approves with one tap. Any service verifies the signed token.

What This Is

An MCP server that exposes Clearance as a set of tools Claude (and other MCP-compatible clients) can call natively. Your AI agent can:

• Request human approval before spending money

• Check approval status

• Verify signed tokens

• Manage API keys and usage
