Common questions
Is Pop Pay safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.7) reached the registry 7 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

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-pay
curl (Linux / macOS) — bootstraps via npm; requires Node.js 18+
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/100xPercent/pop-pay/main/install.sh | sh
npm (global)
npm install -g pop-pay
npx (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-vault
This 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 session
2. Launch Chrome with CDP remote debugging
pop-pay launch
This 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" } } } }
Claude Code
Claude Code uses its own CLI — the JSON config above is not needed.
claude mcp add --scope user pop-pay -- npx -y pop-pay launch-mcp
--scope user makes it available across all projects. To remove: claude mcp remove pop-pay
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code
Add the JSON config above to:
- Cursor:
~/.cursor/mcp.json - Windsurf:
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json - VS Code (Copilot):
.vscode/mcp.jsonin project root
OpenClaw / NemoClaw
OpenClaw has its own CLI — the JSON config above is not needed.
openclaw mcp add pop-pay -- npx -y pop-pay launch-mcp
Or add to ~/.openclaw/mcp_servers.json using the JSON config above.
For System Prompt templates and NemoClaw sandbox setup, see Integration Guide §4.
Docker
docker-compose up -d
Runs the MCP server + headless Chromium with CDP. Mount your encrypted vault from the host.
MCP Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
request_virtual_card | Issue a virtual card and inject credentials into the checkout page via CDP. Automatically scans the page for hidden prompt injections. |
request_purchaser_info | Auto-fill billing/contact info (name, address, email, phone). Automatically scans the page for hidden prompt injections. |
request_x402_payment | Pay for API calls via the x402 HTTP payment protocol. |
Tip for Claude Code users: Add the following to your project's
CLAUDE.mdto help the agent know when to call pop-pay:
*"When you encounter a payment form or checkout page, use the
request_virtual_cardtool. For billing/contact info forms, userequest_purchaser_infofirst."*
Configuration
Core variables in ~/.config/pop-pay/.env. See ENV_REFERENCE.md for the full list.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
POP_ALLOWED_CATEGORIES | ["aws","cloudflare"] | Approved vendor categories — see Categories Cookbook |
POP_MAX_PER_TX | 100.0 | Max USD per transaction |
POP_MAX_DAILY | 500.0 | Max USD per day |
POP_BLOCK_LOOPS | true | Block hallucination/retry loops |
POP_AUTO_INJECT | true | Enable CDP card injection |
POP_GUARDRAIL_ENGINE | keyword | keyword (zero-cost) or llm (semantic) |
Guardrail Mode
keyword (default) | llm | |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Keyword matching on reasoning string | Semantic analysis via LLM |
| Cost | Zero — no API calls | One LLM call per request |
| Best for | Development, low-risk workflows | Production, high-value transactions |
To enable LLM mode, see Integration Guide §1.
Providers
| Provider | Description |
|---|---|
| BYOC (default) | Bring Your Own Card — encrypted vault credentials, local CDP injection. |
| Stripe Issuing | Real virtual cards via Stripe API. Requires POP_STRIPE_KEY. |
| Lithic | Multi-issuer adapter (Stripe Issuing / Lithic). |
| Mock | Test mode with generated card numbers for development. |
Priority: Stripe Issuing → BYOC Local → Mock.
Security
| Layer | Defense |
|---|---|
| Context Isolation | Card credentials never enter the agent's context window or logs |
| Encrypted Vault | AES-256-GCM with XOR-split salt and native scrypt key derivation (Rust) |
| TOCTOU Guard | Domain verified at the moment of CDP injection — blocks redirect attacks |
| Repr Redaction | Automatic masking (****-4242) in all MCP responses, logs, and tracebacks |
