Read the full description
ActOnce Spend Gateway helps you give AI agents spending power while keeping control. Set purchase limits, allow trusted merchants, block categories and flag duplicate requests. Purchases that need your input go into an approval queue. It works with MCP-compatible agents, including OpenClaw and Hermes, and never handles payment credentials. Start with the free, MIT-licensed local gateway, or choose a paid plan for hosted dashboards and team controls.

Partial The spending rules engine and approval queue are buildable, but actually executing purchases requires card-issuing or payment partners and financial compliance.
What it would actually take: Build an MCP server with a policy engine (limits, merchant allowlists, category blocks, duplicate detection) and an approval queue UI. Real purchases need integration with a card-issuing or virtual-card provider such as Stripe Issuing or Lithic, with PCI-scope handling and fraud controls. The hard part is the regulated payments and card-network layer, which requires financial infrastructure partnerships and compliance expertise.
