Proxy Payments

What This Skill Does

The Proxy Payments skill enables your OpenClaw agent to handle financial transactions autonomously. By integrating with Proxy’s robust infrastructure, this skill allows your agent to provision single-use or limited virtual credit cards, track spending, manage balances, and enforce strict spending policies directly from your agent's command line. It bridges the gap between AI task automation and real-world procurement, ensuring that your agent can handle everything from SaaS subscriptions to one-off purchases while remaining within pre-defined financial guardrails.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the mcporter tool installed. Install the skill via the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/proxyhq/proxy-payments. After installation, you must configure your authentication credentials. For most interactive setups, use the OAuth flow via Claude Code to generate a PROXY_TOKEN and add it to your ~/.clawdbot/.env file. For fully autonomous headless agents, generate an Agent Token directly in the Proxy dashboard and set it as PROXY_AGENT_TOKEN. Finally, verify your installation by running mcporter list proxy to confirm your agent can communicate with the payment API.

Use Cases

1. Autonomous SaaS Procurement: Automatically provision a card with a specific limit to sign up for a new API or tool that the agent needs to complete a research task.
2. Expense Management: Allow your agent to track small operational purchases and reconcile them against existing project budgets without human manual intervention.
3. Dynamic Resource Scaling: Provision virtual cards to pay for cloud computing, storage, or external data scraping services on a per-request basis within set budget constraints.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my current available balance on my Proxy account to see if I have enough budget for the $50 subscription."
2. "Provision a new virtual card with a $20 limit specifically for the merchant 'OpenAI' so I can pay for API credits for this project."
3. "List all recent transactions made with my virtual cards from the last 7 days and generate a brief report of our spending."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure that your Spend Policies in the Proxy dashboard are configured with appropriate transaction caps before delegating payment authority to an agent. While the system supports Human-in-the-Loop workflows for high-value transactions, you should prioritize strict, granular policies over broad permissions. Note that this skill requires active KYC/KYB verification on the Proxy platform to function, and your agent cannot bypass regulatory compliance requirements.
