Quickstart
Remote connections are moving into a shared gateway and are not available right now. The desktop agent, for AI apps that run local programs on a Mac, is not available to download right now.
What you need
- The OnWallet extension with a wallet created in it (or imported from recovery words). Wallets imported from a family seed cannot make agent wallets.
- An AI app that supports MCP.
Remote: connect an AI app
Connecting an AI app by address is moving into a shared gateway at https://mcp.openapps.network/connect and is not available right now. See the gateway docs.
The remote server at https://mcp.openapps.network/openwallet was switched off on 5 October 2026. In the gateway, OnWallet's tools become operations on https://mcp.openapps.network/connect, with the scopes wallet:read and wallet:pay. A payment still goes to the person's extension for approval, exactly as before. The gateway docs will say when it opens.
Desktop: OnWallet Agent on a Mac
OnWallet Agent, the desktop program, is not available to download right now. This page describes how it works; its install instructions will be added here with the first download.
The desktop agent is a local MCP server (stdio) for macOS. AI apps that run local programs, such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code, start it with openwallet-agent mcp. Only install it from a link on this page.
Pair it with your wallet
# In a terminal, not in the chat.
openwallet-agent pair --network mainnet --label "Claude Code on MacBook"
- The program prints a pair request (
owpair1.…) and five words. - In the extension: Agents → Add agent. Paste the request and check that the five words match.
- Set the limits and the budget. The extension creates and funds the agent wallet and gives the agent's key permission to spend from it.
- The extension shows a grant token (
owgrant1.…) and a second set of words. Paste the token at the program's prompt and compare the words.
The MCP tools never show pairing material, because a model could rewrite a token and its words together. Clients that auto-approve tool calls do not weaken payments: approvals happen in the agent, not in the client.
