MCP Server

The Tokelio MCP server exposes the payment primitives as Model Context Protocol tools, so any MCP-compatible client (including Claude) can transact through Tokelio.

What it provides

• A set of MCP tools for payment, budget, escrow, history, and reputation.
• Clean stdio transport — logs go to stderr, keeping the protocol stream on stdout uncorrupted.

Configure a client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokelio": {
      "command": "tokelio-mcp-server",
      "args": []

}

query_reputation	Find trusted providers
get_history	Read settlement history

Why MCP

MCP lets a model call Tokelio directly during a conversation — the agent doesn't need bespoke glue code to pay for what it needs. It's the most direct path from "an assistant that talks" to "an agent that transacts."
