Paybond MCP Server tools (35, 5 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
paybond_authorize_agent_spendProvider-agnostic spend gate: verify the funded intent's capability token before a side-effecting tool, paid API, vendor action, or settlement workflow executes.
paybond_bootstrap_sandbox_guardrailBootstrap a sandbox-only Paybond guardrail intent for a first paid-tool integration. Tenant scope is derived from the configured service-account API key and the route never touches live settlement rails.
paybond_confirm_settlementConfirm Harbor settlement through the gateway /harbor path with a replay-safe recognition proof.
paybond_create_intentwrite actionCreate a Harbor intent through the gateway /harbor intent route. The request body must already be signed upstream and every call requires a recognition proof.
paybond_create_spend_intentwrite actionCreate a signed Paybond spend intent through the gateway /harbor route. Use this when an agent workflow needs bounded budget, allowed operations, evidence, and settlement review. If the selected rail funds immediately, use the returned intent_id and capability_token with paybond_authorize_agent_spend.
paybond_explain_policyRead-only dry-run explanation of whether proposed spend would allow, require approval, or deny under tenant spend policy.
paybond_fund_intentAdvance Harbor funding through the gateway /harbor path with a replay-safe recognition proof. When funding succeeds, use the returned capability_token with intent_id in paybond_authorize_agent_spend.
paybond_get_a2a_agent_cardFetch the published Paybond A2A discovery card for protocol-trust delegation.
paybond_get_a2a_task_contractFetch one published Paybond A2A task contract by identifier.
paybond_get_agent_receipt_v1Fetch the signed paybond.agent_receipt_v1 for one receipt_id.
paybond_get_audit_exportFetch one tenant-scoped compliance audit export job detail through the gateway operator view.
paybond_get_budget_remainingRead-only dry-run of remaining spend budget for a tenant-bound intent via gateway spend preflight.
paybond_get_fraud_assessmentFetch the read-only fraud assessment for one tenant-scoped operator DID.
paybond_get_fraud_metricsFetch tenant-scoped read-only fraud backtesting and monitoring metrics for a supported active window.
paybond_get_intentFetch one tenant-scoped Harbor intent detail through the gateway operator view.
paybond_get_portfolio_summaryFetch the tenant-scoped Signal portfolio summary.
paybond_get_principalUse this when you need to confirm which tenant-bound service-account principal the configured PAYBOND_API_KEY authenticates as
paybond_get_reputation_receiptFetch the signed Signal receipt for one operator DID.
paybond_get_settlement_receipt_v1Fetch the signed protocol-v2 settlement receipt for one Harbor intent.
paybond_get_signed_portfolio_artifactFetch the tenant-scoped signed Signal portfolio artifact for portable verifier and partner sharing.
paybond_import_agent_mandate_v1Import a signed AgentMandateV1 through the gateway v2 protocol route and bind it to one Harbor intent using a replay-safe recognition proof.
paybond_list_a2a_task_contractsFetch the published catalog of Paybond A2A task contracts for delegated Harbor workflows.
paybond_list_audit_exportsList tenant-scoped compliance audit export jobs through the gateway operator view.
paybond_list_intentsList tenant-scoped Harbor intents through the gateway operator view with optional filters.
paybond_submit_evidencewrite actionSubmit payee evidence through the gateway /harbor path with a replay-safe recognition proof.
paybond_submit_sandbox_guardrail_evidencewrite actionSubmit evidence for a sandbox-only Paybond guardrail intent. Tenant scope is derived from the configured service-account API key and simulator settlement remains sandbox-only.
paybond_submit_spend_evidencewrite actionSubmit signed evidence for a Paybond spend intent so release, refund, review, and receipt generation use the same audit-ready record.
paybond_validate_completion_evidencePre-validates completion evidence against the shared preset catalog. Call this before paybond_submit_*_evidence when PAYBOND_MCP_EVIDENCE_POLICY=strict.
paybond_verify_agent_mandate_v1Verify a signed AgentMandateV1 envelope through the gateway v2 protocol surface.
paybond_verify_agent_receipt_v1Verify a signed paybond.agent_receipt_v1 offline (operational tier by default).
paybond_verify_agent_recognition_proof_v1Verify a replay-safe AgentRecognitionProofV1 against an expected purpose and request envelope.
paybond_verify_capabilityVerify a capability token returned by a created or funded Paybond intent for one tenant-bound Harbor intent.
paybond_verify_protocol_receipt_v1Verify a signed protocol-v2 authorization or settlement receipt through the gateway.

What the publisher says
From the Paybond MCP Server repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@paybond/kit
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.nonameuserd/paybond -->
Your AI agent shouldn't accidentally spend $20,000.
An unsupervised agent that can book travel, call paid APIs, or buy compute can also loop through “approved” tool calls until the budget is gone — each charge succeeds, and nothing proves the work was delivered. Per-transaction caps alone do not stop that.
@paybond/kit is the TypeScript SDK for delegated agent spend controls: authorize against a bounded budget and policy before a paid tool runs, then release or refund only after signed completion evidence. Wrap three lines around any paid tool call — authorize → execute → verify. Keep your runtime. Keep your payment rails (prefer Stripe Connect / x402; Stripe ACH Direct Debit and USDC-on-Base are also available). You get spend authorization, evidence-gated settlement, refunds, disputes, and a portable signed receipt — without building your own proof-gated release middleware.
Under the hood, Kit opens hosted Gateway sessions, verifies capability tokens, signs intent and evidence payloads, and can read tenant-scoped Signal, fraud, ledger, protocol, and A2A data, with adapters for common agent runtimes.

When to use Paybond
Reach for Paybond Kit whenever an AI agent can move money and you need spend that stays inside a budget — not just token metering: agentic payments and commerce, tool-call spend limits, outcome evidence before release, and audit-ready records — across OpenAI, Gemini, Claude/Anthropic, Vercel AI SDK, LangGraph, MCP hosts, and custom runtimes, settling through the payment rails your tenant already uses.
- Use Paybond Kit when spend needs authorization against a bounded budget, proof-gated release/refund/dispute handling, or audit-ready receipts.
- Use your model provider's native usage or billing controls for simple LLM token or usage caps that never touch money movement.
Start here (sandbox in ~60 seconds)
No account and no API key — rehearse the full authorize → execute → evidence loop locally, then open the trace dashboard:
npm install @paybond/kit
npx -p @paybond/kit paybond dev loop --offline
npx -p @paybond/kit paybond dev tracepaybond dev trace renders the middleware timeline at http://127.0.0.1:9477.
To try the same flow against the real hosted sandbox Gateway, first create a free Free Developer workspace if you do not already have a Paybond account (no card required), then:
npx -p @paybond/kit paybond login
npx -p @paybond/kit paybond-init --preset paid-tool-guard --framework provider-agnostic --out paybond-paid-tool-guard.ts
npx -p @paybond/kit paybond agent sandbox smoke \
--operation travel.book_hotel \
--requested-spend-cents 20000 \
--evidence-preset cost_and_completion \
--result-body '{"status":"completed","cost_cents":18700}' \
--format jsonpaybond login opens a browser device-approval step; the workspace owner (you, right after signup) approves it and the CLI writes a sandbox PAYBONDAPIKEY to .env.local.
Launch the tenant-bound MCP server for MCP hosts (after paybond login):
