Part of a new agent payments stack

2026 brought a wave of new tools letting AI agents spend money safely — Stripe's Link CLI, the Machine Payments Protocol, Shared Payment Tokens, and the card networks' agent rails. CardForAgent fits in by giving you Stripe Issuing as a hosted MCP server.

🔗

Stripe Link CLI

An open-source CLI & MCP server that pulls one-time-use cards or Shared Payment Tokens from a user's Link wallet — with per-purchase approval.

🤖

Machine Payments Protocol

HTTP 402, finally useful. Open standard from Stripe + Tempo for agent-to-merchant payments without human checkout flows.

🪪

Shared Payment Tokens

Scoped credentials backed by any payment method — card, bank, BNPL, soon stablecoins. Agent-native by design.
