What the publisher says

Point One Percent — pop-pay
it only takes 0.1% of Hallucination to drain 100% of your wallet.
The runtime security layer for AI agent commerce. Drop-in CLI + MCP server. Card credentials are injected directly into the browser DOM via CDP — they never enter the agent's context window. One hallucinated prompt can't drain a wallet it can't see.

Install
Choose your preferred method:
Homebrew (macOS)
brew install 100xpercent/tap/pop-paycurl (Linux / macOS) — bootstraps via npm; requires Node.js 18+
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/100xPercent/pop-pay/main/install.sh | shnpm (global)
npm install -g pop-paynpx (no install — one-off runs)
npx -y pop-pay <command>All install paths expose the same binaries: pop-pay, pop-launch, pop-init-vault, pop-unlock.
Also available as @100xpercent/mcp-server-pop-pay — identical package under the MCP @scope/mcp-server- convention. Tracks the same version on every release.
Using Python? Check out pop-pay-python — pip install pop-pay. Same security model, same vault format, independent release cycle — safe to switch between runtimes.
Quick Start (CLI)
1. Initialize the encrypted credential vault
pop-pay init-vaultThis encrypts your card credentials into ~/.config/pop-pay/vault.enc (AES-256-GCM). For stronger protection (blocks agents with shell access):
pop-pay init-vault --passphrase # one-time setup
pop-pay unlock # run once per session2. Launch Chrome with CDP remote debugging
pop-pay launchThis opens a Chromium instance on http://localhost:9222 that pop-pay injects credentials into. Your agent (via MCP, browser automation, or x402) then drives the checkout flow — card details never leave the browser process.
3. Plug into your agent
The CLI launches infrastructure; the actual payment tool calls come from your agent. Two supported paths:
- MCP server — add pop-pay to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw). See MCP Server below.
- x402 HTTP — pay for API calls via the x402 payment protocol.
Full CLI reference: pop-pay --help.
MCP Server (optional)
Add to your MCP client
Standard config for any MCP-compatible client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pop-pay": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pop-pay", "launch-mcp"],
"env": {
"POP_CDP_URL": "http://localhost:9222"
}
}
}
}Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
