What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that allows AI agents to connect to external tools and data sources. Conto’s MCP server gives Claude and other MCP-compatible agents the ability to manage wallets, make payments, track transactions, and query analytics — all with full spending policy enforcement.Package

How It Works
- User requests an action — A user asks Claude to make a payment, check balances, or perform another financial operation in natural language.
- Policy evaluation — Claude calls Conto MCP tools. The server evaluates the request against your organization’s spending policies (limits, time windows, counterparty rules, etc.).
- Execution — If approved, the action is executed onchain and Claude reports the result with transaction details.
