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

Supported rails

Rail	Protocol	Currency	Status
x402	HTTP 402 + stablecoins	USDC on Base	Working
Lightning	L402 + NWC	BTC (sats)	Working (see `examples/l402`)
Stripe	Shared Payment Tokens	USD/EUR/GBP	Planned
UPI	Reserve Pay (Razorpay)	INR	Planned

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 start

If 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.

Configuration

Create payrouter.config.json or use the dashboard setup wizard:

{
  "server": {
    "port": 3001,
    "dashboard_port": 3000,
    "db_path": "./payrouter.db"
  },
  "rails": {
    "x402": {
      "enabled": true,
      "wallet_private_key": "0x...",
      "network": "base-sepolia"
    }
  },
  "mandates": {
    "default": {
      "daily_limit": 100,
      "per_transaction_limit": 50,
      "allowed_categories": ["*"],
      "allowed_merchants": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

Environment variables also work — see .env.example.
