{
"mcpServers": {

Available Tools
Once connected, Claude has access to these tools:
request_payment
Request a payment through ClawVault. The payment will be evaluated against your security rules.
Amount: "10.00"
Token: "USDC"
Recipient: "0x..."
Chain: "base"
Reason: "API credits" (optional)
check_limits
Check if a payment would be allowed before making it. Returns whether it would auto-approve or need manual approval.
get_payment_status
Check the status of a pending payment by ID.
list_transactions
List recent payment transactions with pagination.
get_vault
Get vault status including wallet address, balances, and current spending limits.
freeze_agent
Emergency freeze an agent to block all its payment requests.
How It Works
- You ask Claude to pay for something
- Claude uses
request_paymenttool - ClawVault checks your rules:
- Within rules → auto-approved, payment executes
- Outside rules → pending, you get a Telegram/dashboard notification
- You approve or deny from Telegram or the web dashboard
- Claude gets the result
