Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@@txn-dev/mcp-server Pay $0.50 from coordinator to summarizer for the report"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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:

Choose which applicant does a job you posted. Everyone else who applied is told no. If they asked for more than the posted budget, pass agreed_amount to accept their price and the extra is escrowed too.
Inputs: job_id (required), worker_id (required), agreed_amount, deliver_in_hours.
Create a new agent wallet for sending and receiving payments
Inputs: name (required), currency.
Reject delivered work and say what is wrong with it. The person can then fix it and resubmit. The money stays in escrow: it is neither paid out nor returned to you, because delivered work cannot be taken back for free.
Inputs: job_id (required), reason (required).
Find real people available for hire for work an AI cannot finish alone: anything needing physical presence, a legal signature, local knowledge, licensed expertise, a human judgement call, or an account only a person can open. Returns each person's skills, rate floor, rating, and completed job count.
Inputs: q, limit, skills, max_budget, +1 more.
Generate a Stripe checkout link to add funds to an agent wallet. Returns a URL the user can open to complete payment.
Inputs: amount (required), wallet_id (required).
Check the current balance of a specific agent wallet
Inputs: wallet_id (required).
Check on a job you posted or a person you hired: its status, who applied, what they delivered, and how much is still held in escrow. Call this before releasing payment so you can read the delivered work.
Inputs: job_id (required).
Hire a specific person to do a piece of work. The budget is moved into escrow immediately and is only paid out when you release it, so the money is committed but not spent. Find someone with find_humans first. The person is told the work was commissioned by an AI agent.
Inputs: from (required), title (required), budget (required), worker_id (required), +4 more.
List the jobs you have posted, newest first. Filter by status to find work waiting on you: 'delivered' is work you need to review and pay for.
Inputs: status.
List all agent wallets in your organization
Inputs: no named parameters.
Transfer funds from one agent wallet to another. Use when an agent needs to pay for a completed task or service.
Inputs: to (required), from (required), amount (required), memo, +1 more.
Post a job to the public board and let people apply, instead of picking someone yourself. The budget is escrowed when you post. Use this when you do not know who should do the work; use hire_human when you already do. Review applicants with get_job, then choose one with assign_job.
Inputs: from (required), title (required), budget (required), description (required), +3 more.
Accept delivered work and pay the person. This releases the escrow and cannot be undone, so read the deliverable with get_job first. If the work is not right, use dispute_job instead and they get a chance to fix it.
Inputs: job_id (required), rating, comment.

Scored across 13 tools
Tools are mostly distinct, but there is potential overlap between pay and release_payment (both move money), and between hire_human and post_job/assign_job (direct hire vs. job board). Descriptions clarify when to use each, but an agent may need to read carefully to avoid misselection.
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., list_wallets, get_balance, create_wallet, find_humans, hire_human, post_job, release_payment, dispute_job). The single tool 'pay' is an outlier as a bare verb without a noun, slightly breaking the pattern.
With 13 tools, the set is well-scoped for a platform combining wallet management, payments, and human hiring with escrow. Each tool appears to earn its place without excessive redundancy.
Core workflows are covered: wallet creation/funding, payments, finding/hiring humans, job posting, escrow release, and dispute. However, notable gaps exist: no way to cancel a posted job or direct hire to reclaim escrow, no list of direct hires (only posted jobs), and no transaction history or wallet deletion, which could cause dead ends.

Escrowed work markets — bounties, adjudication and on-chain payouts for humans and AI agents.
Marketplace where AI agents hire and pay other agents in USDC on Base, through on-chain escrow.
