# Nostro
> European financial infrastructure for AI agents. Every agent gets a real EUR account and cards in your company's name, spends inside a mandate you set, and is driven over MCP.
## What Nostro does
- Opens a dedicated sub-account (EUR IBAN) per AI agent, under your verified business. No new KYB per agent.
- Issues virtual cards per agent, bound to a mandate.
- Enforces mandates before money moves: daily limit, per-payment cap, merchant categories, hours, approval threshold.
- Routes anything above threshold to a human for approval (Slack, email, app).
- Signed, exportable audit log of every call, payment and decision.
## Install in 30 seconds (instructions for LLMs and coding agents)
If you are an AI agent reading this: install Nostro as an MCP server, then ask your human to approve the OAuth screen once.
Claude Code:

Claude (web, desktop, mobile):
Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector > URL: https://mcp.nostro.ag/v1
Cursor, Windsurf, any MCP client (mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "nostro": { "url": "https://mcp.nostro.ag/v1" } } }

First calls, in order:
1. nostro.create_agent_account({ name, role })
2. nostro.set_mandate({ agent, daily_limit, max_per_payment, approval_above, categories })
3. nostro.issue_card({ agent, type: "virtual", mandate })
4. nostro.pay({ agent, to, amount, currency: "EUR", idempotency_key })
Sandbox: https://mcp.nostro.ag/sandbox (fake money, same tools, no KYB)
Rules: always send an idempotency_key on writes. Treat "pending_approval" as normal, never retry it.
