Ap2 MCP Server

AP2 (Agent-to-Agent Payment Protocol) is Google's open framework for authorization, audit, and trust in agentic payments. It answers the critical questions: Who authorized this payment? What limits apply? What's the full audit trail?. Its 22 documented tools cover payment, agent, mandate, verify.

People who work with payment, agent and mandate and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

One of 127 MCP servers published from codespar/mcp-dev-latam. Stars and repository activity are shared across all of them. See all 127 →

before you install - you'll need

Set AP2_API_KEY, AP2_AGENT_ID before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add codespar-mcp-dev-latam-packages-payments -- npx -y @codespar/mcp-ap2

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
