API Reference

Public, agent-facing reference for building automated workflows against ClawBank. It is generated from, and kept in sync with, the live application’s routes and MCP tool catalog. It intentionally excludes internal/operational surfaces (webhooks, admin, dev tooling).

The single best way for an agent to discover the live, per-account surface is to call the discovery endpoints: MCP tools/list, and the per-area *_guide tools (clawbank_coms_guide, clawbank_formation_guide, clawbank_trading_guide, clawbank_contracts_guide). Some capabilities are conditional on server config and the calling account (e.g. Wise, Trading, Formation), so tools/list is authoritative for what you can call right now.

Machine-readable references (generated from the live routes and tool catalog, enforced in CI so they cannot drift):

• Interactive REST API reference — every endpoint, rendered from the OpenAPI 3 spec at /api/openapi.json
• MCP tool catalog — every tool with its JSON input schema, browsable without a token — plus the one-click Claude Desktop connector (clawbank.mcpb) with install steps

Base URL

All endpoints are served from the application host:

• https://app.clawbank.co

Prepend this host to every path below (e.g. https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/me).

Interfaces

ClawBank exposes the same capabilities over three surfaces. The capability sections below list the REST and MCP forms; the CLI is a thin client over both.

• REST JSON API — /api/v1/*, Bearer token required unless noted. Good for conventional HTTP clients.
• MCP JSON-RPC — POST /mcp, the agent-native surface, convenient from an LLM agent / MCP client. Every capability is mirrored on REST, so an agent can do everything over plain HTTP without an MCP client. Using Claude Desktop? Grab the one-click connector from the MCP tool catalog page.
• CLI — the official clawbank command (npm: clawbank-cli), a thin client that signs in and calls the same REST + MCP surface from a terminal or script. See Command-Line Interface (CLI).

For MCP, tools/list returns the authoritative, per-account catalog (availability is gated by server config, account state, and the calling token’s scopes — a read-scoped key receives only read-only tools). The base RPC methods are initialize, notifications/initialized, ping, tools/list, and tools/call.

Required headers for POST /mcp:

• Authorization: Bearer <api_token>
• Accept: application/json, text/event-stream

Tool annotations (machine-readable risk class)

Every tool descriptor in tools/list carries standard MCP annotations, derived from the tool’s required scope — the same server-side classification that gates tools/call. Client authors can rely on this contract:

Any tool that can move funds, sign transactions, commit value, or mutate account state is destructiveHint: true — gate those behind user confirmation. readOnlyHint: true tools never change anything and are safe for QA, monitoring, and read-only agents. Classification is enforced by a catalog-walking test on every build, and unclassified tools are impossible: an unknown tool name classifies into the most restrictive class by default.

Sample tools/list entry:

{
  "name": "create_usdc_transfer",
  "description": "Send USDC from the custody wallet to an on-chain address (same chain).",
  "inputSchema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "...": "..." } },
  "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": true }
}

Quick Start (Agent-First)

1. Request a login code: POST /api/v1/auth/request_code
2. Verify it to get a short-lived bootstrap token: POST /api/v1/auth/verify_code
3. Mint a long-lived API token (bootstrap Bearer): POST /api/v1/auth/bootstrap/api_tokens
4. Use Authorization: Bearer <api_token> for both REST (/api/v1/*) and MCP (POST /mcp).
5. Check readiness with GET /api/v1/me (REST) or get_me (MCP).
6. Optional — ClawBank OS (early access): if company_os.offered is true, opt in with POST /api/v1/me/company_os ({"enabled": true}) or Settings in the web app. See ClawBank OS (early access).

Two Money Systems: Trading Wallet vs Bank Rails

ClawBank accounts have two independent money systems. Telling them apart prevents the most common onboarding mistake — assuming the account “can’t trade yet” after seeing a bridge_customer_required error.

Trading never touches the bank rails. Strategies and spot swaps trade from the self-custody wallet’s USDC on Base. An agent that just wants to trade should follow this happy path — it never touches the banking system and never returns bridge_customer_required:

1. GET /api/v1/self_custody/address — get the Base address (auto-provisions on first call).
2. Fund it with USDC — send to that address, or POST /api/v1/self_custody/topup_link for a card/Apple Pay link.
3. GET /api/v1/self_custody/token_balance?symbol=USDC — confirm available trading balance.
4. Trade — POST /api/v1/trading/swaps, or stand up a strategy under /api/v1/trading/strategies.

bridge_customer_required (and other KYC-gated errors) come only from the bank rails (the money/* and offramp/* endpoints). They mean “off-ramp/banking not set up yet” — not “can’t trade”. Call GET /api/v1/me to see which rails are ready.

Discovering the Full Reference (after auth)

This page is an on-ramp. Its job is to get you authenticated (see Accounts & Authentication) and oriented to what each capability does. Once you hold an API token, you do not need this page for exhaustive per-tool detail — the live surface is self-describing and always current:

• Exact arguments for every tool — MCP tools/list returns each tool available to your account with a JSON Schema inputSchema (argument names, types, and which are required) plus a description. CLI equivalent: clawbank list --json (add -v/--verbose for full descriptions). This is authoritative; availability is gated by your account and server config.
• Step-by-step workflows (the manual) — each major capability ships a guide tool that returns a walkthrough written for agents: clawbank_coms_guide, clawbank_formation_guide, clawbank_trading_guide, clawbank_contracts_guide, clawbank_os_guide. Several are also REST: GET /api/v1/coms/guide, GET /api/v1/contracts/guide, GET /api/v1/trading/guide.
• Schema inspectors for complex writes — call inspect_formation_payload_schema before a formation checkout, and inspect_fightclub_payload_schema before a Fight Club command, to get the exact payload shape required.
• Zero-auth orientation — clawbank context (CLI) returns a token-free agent brief you can read before logging in.
• ClawBank OS (early access) — opt-in HQ for programmable companies. Status on get_me (company_os); turn on with POST /api/v1/me/company_os. After opt-in, OS company tools appear in tools/list and under /api/v1/os/companies. See ClawBank OS (early access).

The capability sections below therefore stay deliberately concise: a plain-language purpose, the REST endpoints and MCP tools involved, and a pointer to the relevant guide. For exact request bodies, call tools/list or the capability’s guide tool.

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

The official clawbank CLI (npm package clawbank-cli) is a thin, platform-backed terminal client: sign-in and UX live in the CLI, while business rules and integrations stay on ClawBank’s servers. It targets https://app.clawbank.co and talks to the same REST (/api/v1/me) and MCP (/mcp) surfaces documented here, so the command catalog always matches the live tools. Requires Node.js 20+.

Install (the command on your PATH is clawbank, not clawbank-cli):

npm install -g clawbank-cli
# or, without installing:
npx clawbank-cli --help

Core commands:

• clawbank context — static agent brief (Markdown); no token, no network. Add --json to wrap it for LLM pipelines.
• clawbank login — paste your API token when prompted (or clawbank login <KEY>). Create the token in the app under Settings → API tokens.
• clawbank list — human-readable command catalog (alias: clawbank commands). --json for the full tool list, --verbose/-v for full server descriptions, --human when piping to a non-TTY.
• clawbank run <tool> '<json-args>' — invoke a platform command (the same tools as MCP tools/call), e.g. clawbank run get_balance '{}'. --json for the full wire shape, --human/--compact to control summarized output.
• clawbank whoami — saved token / profile check (GET /api/v1/me); --pretty to indent.
• clawbank tui — optional full-screen (Ink) terminal UI.

context needs no token; list, run, and whoami require a saved token or the CLAWBANK_TOKEN environment variable. The token is stored at ~/.config/clawbank/config.json (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/clawbank/config.json).

Environment overrides:

Accounts & Authentication

Create an account, prove who you are, and mint the API token that authorizes every other call. This is the front door: a human signs up with an email and completes identity verification (KYC), while an agent exchanges a one-time email login code for a long-lived, revocable API token. Most money/banking capabilities stay locked until KYC is approved, so check readiness right after you authenticate.

Response envelope. Every auth endpoint returns JSON in a consistent shape:

• Success: { "ok": true, "data": { ... } }
• Error: { "ok": false, "error": { "code": "snake_case_reason" } }

The full agent onboarding is three POST calls. Steps 1–2 need no Authorization header; step 3 uses the bootstrap token from step 2 as a Bearer token.

Step 1 — Request a login code

POST /api/v1/auth/request_code · no Authorization header

Request body:

{
  "email": "agent@example.com"
}

Example:

curl -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/auth/request_code \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "agent@example.com"}'

Success response (200):

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "status": "code_sent",
    "detail": "If this email can receive messages, a login code has been sent. Codes expire quickly."
  }
}

Error response (422 — malformed email):

{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "invalid_email" } }

Other errors: 400 invalid_request (no email field), 404 not_found (agent bootstrap auth is disabled on this deployment).

Step 2 — Verify the code (get a bootstrap token)

POST /api/v1/auth/verify_code · no Authorization header

Request body:

{
  "email": "agent@example.com",
  "code": "123456"
}

Example:

curl -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/auth/verify_code \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "agent@example.com", "code": "123456"}'

Success response (200) — bootstrap_token is short-lived; use it only for step 3:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "bootstrap_token": "BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_VALUE",
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "expires_at": "2026-06-23T21:15:00Z"
  }
}

Error response (401 — wrong/expired code):

{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "invalid_code" } }

Other errors: 400 invalid_request (missing email/code), 404 not_found (bootstrap auth disabled), 503 bootstrap_token_unavailable (transient).

Step 3 — Mint a long-lived API token

POST /api/v1/auth/bootstrap/api_tokens · Authorization: Bearer <bootstrap_token>

Request body — all fields optional (send {} for defaults):

{
  "name": "my-agent",
  "expires_at": "2027-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "scopes": ["read", "send"],
  "per_tx_cap_usd": "5",
  "daily_cap_usd": "10"
}

Spend caps are enforced on every money-movement call made with the key and cannot be changed after creation — mint a new key to change limits. A key with caps is refused sends whose USD value cannot be established.

Example — a $10/day agent key that can read and send but not trade or sign raw transactions:

curl -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/auth/bootstrap/api_tokens \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-agent", "scopes": ["read", "send"], "daily_cap_usd": "10"}'

Success response (200) — api_token is shown once; store it now:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "api_token": "API_TOKEN_VALUE",
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "user": { "id": 123, "email": "agent@example.com" }
  }
}

Error response (401 — bootstrap token missing/invalid/expired):

{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "invalid_bootstrap_token" } }

Other errors: 404 not_found (bootstrap auth disabled), 422 invalid_scopes (unknown scope name or empty list), 422 invalid_cap (a spend cap that is not a positive USD amount).

Use the API token

Send it as a Bearer token on every REST and MCP call:

Authorization: Bearer <api_token>

• Long-lived, revocable; the plaintext is shown once at creation (server stores a hash)
• Tokens are opaque strings (URL-safe base64, no fixed prefix) — store the exact value
• Rate limits: fixed-window on the auth/verify and bootstrap-exchange endpoints; per-token (IP fallback) on the main API

Confirm the token works and read account readiness:

curl https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

REST

• POST /api/v1/auth/request_code (no Bearer)
• POST /api/v1/auth/verify_code (no Bearer) — returns a bootstrap token
• POST /api/v1/auth/bootstrap/api_tokens (bootstrap Bearer) — mint the API token
• GET /api/v1/auth/bootstrap/me (bootstrap Bearer) — { "ok": true, "data": { "user": { "id", "email" } } }
• GET /api/v1/me — account id, email, onboarding/KYC readiness flags (bridge_customer_configured, kyc_approved), self-custody wallet readiness (self_custody_wallet: { address, chain, provisioned } — address is null until the wallet is provisioned on first use), trading_enabled, and company_os ({ offered, enabled } — see ClawBank OS)
• POST /api/v1/me/company_os — opt in or out of ClawBank OS. Body: {"enabled": true} or {"enabled": false}. Requires the admin token scope. 404 company_os_not_offered if the server is not offering OS.

MCP

• get_me — current user id, email, onboarding flags, self_custody_wallet ({ address, chain, provisioned }), trading_enabled, and company_os. There is no MCP tool that toggles OS — use the REST endpoint or Settings.

Human onboarding: register/login with email, complete the Verify flow at /onboarding, then proceed to /money. Agent onboarding: run steps 1–3 above, then call get_me (or GET /api/v1/me) for readiness flags.

ClawBank OS (early access)

Public explainer (logged out): /clawbank-os. Opt-in stays in Settings or POST /api/v1/me/company_os.

ClawBank OS is the one-person-company operating system: one HQ for creating and running businesses. Each company is a programmable business with its own name, idea, docs, tasks, domain, site, and (eventually) wallet and payments — not a folder on a user, and not the same thing as Formation (legal entity filing) or Company Records (a formed entity’s record book).

This is an early-access preview. It is hidden unless you opt in. Expect rough edges. The point of shipping it now is a feedback loop: try it, break it, report what failed. After opt-in, company tools appear in MCP tools/list and as REST under /api/v1/os/companies. Reconnect MCP after toggling. HQ (/hq) is the visual client. A remote agent runs the same company — same tasks, same OpenCode Builder, same preview — without a browser:

The first OS company is free. Creating a second returns 402 seat_required until the operator has an active $20/month seat (GET /api/v1/os/seat, POST /api/v1/os/seat/checkout for cards). USDC prepaid month is not a tool yet.

create_os_company → list_os_tasks / run_os_task → open_os_builder / prompt_os_builder (or publish_os_website) → send preview_url → deploy_os_website when the operator likes it.

How to turn it on

Two switches, both required:

1. The server must offer OS (company_os.offered == true on GET /me). If offered is false, stop — OS is not deployed on this host.
2. This account must opt in (company_os.enabled == true).

Agent path (token needs the admin scope — Settings → API tokens, or a legacy full-access key):

# 1. See whether OS is offered and whether you already opted in
curl -s https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN"

# 2. Opt in
curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/me/company_os \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enabled": true}'

Success: { "ok": true, "company_os": { "offered": true, "enabled": true, "next": {…} } }. next lists the MCP tool names and REST paths. Reconnect MCP so they appear in tools/list. Then:

# 3. Create a company
curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Sentinel", "description": "Watch the coast."}'

# 4. Opening tasks (same questionnaire as HQ)
curl -s https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies/$COMPANY_ID/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN"

curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies/$COMPANY_ID/tasks/mission/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"best_judgment": true}'

# 5. Open Builder + build a landing page through OpenCode — `preview_url` is the workbench
curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies/$COMPANY_ID/website/publish \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN"

# 6. Iterate, then deploy the OpenCode files to Cloudflare
curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies/$COMPANY_ID/builder/prompt \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Make the hero darker and enlarge the CTA."}'

curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/os/companies/$COMPANY_ID/website/deploy \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN"

Then open /hq in the web app (same account) if you want the visual HQ. HQ appears in the sidebar. POST with {"enabled": false} turns it off; /hq redirects to /welcome again.

Human path: Settings → ClawBank OS → Turn on. That jumps you into HQ.

get_me (MCP) shows the same company_os object. After toggling, reconnect MCP so list_os_companies and the other OS tools appear in tools/list.

How it works today

A company is the first-class object. It exists from the moment you create it (name + one-line idea). A legal LLC/C-Corp is an optional later attachment, not the definition.

HQ (/hq) is a four-column command center (Company / Operations / Growth / Strategy) plus a pinned Manfred panel. Showcase companies (e.g. Driftlink) are scripted demos so the screen looks alive; create your own from the company switcher. Real companies get a private GitHub repo (co-<public_id>) when Properties is configured.

Market Research drafts from Mission/ICP, pasted notes, Venice web search (Sources stamped from citations), and — for an imported or attached domain — a public site snapshot (homepage, /pricing, /about). It does not block the first loop.

Inference on OS (doc fill, logos, ads, Builder) is free right now (INFERENCE_BILLING_ENABLED is off). Domain registration and other pass-through costs are still charged to you.

What does not work yet (do not assume these)

Be explicit in bug reports when you hit one of these — they are known gaps, not surprises:

• Logo, ads, socials — HQ only. Tasks and Builder are on the API (list_os_tasks, run_os_task, open_os_builder, prompt_os_builder, publish_os_website, deploy_os_website).
• Company-specific wallets — not built. Use Master Treasury.
• Posting ads or socials — generate/draft only.
• Live market research — task is a stub.
• Real token launch — UI stub; does not mint or list a token.
• HQ → Formation — “Incorporate” only stores a display name/type. Real filing is still the standalone Formation product.
• Autonomous / cron tasks — tasks run only when a human (or a future tool) says Go.
• Paid OS seat / metered HQ credits — not on. Do not build a checkout for “subscribe to OS.”

What’s coming (so you can test toward it)

The destination is: a remote agent runs the same company a human runs in HQ, through MCP/REST/SMS, with a company_id. Same operator role, same object.

Likely next slices (order will follow tester reports):

• Dedicated company sub-wallet
• Social posting
• Market research that actually researches
• Token launch with fee → buyback as default utility
• Formation as a task on the company, not a separate mental model

OS REST + MCP (after opt-in)

company_id is the public id from list_os_companies. The HQ ?c= integer and os-<public_id> also work. Domain purchase, email provision, and buy_os_seat require the send token scope (they debit Master Treasury USDC). Everything else that writes is admin; reads are read.

404 company_os_not_available if the account has not opted in (or the server is not offering OS).

How to report

Do not ask a human to paste notes. File into the operator queue:

POST /api/v1/feedback (or POST /api/v1/tickets) or MCP file_feedback / file_ticket. Poll status with GET /api/v1/tickets/:id or get_ticket.

See Feedback (the loop) for the exact fields. Known-gap items above are not bugs unless the UI claimed they worked. Unexpected redirects away from /hq after a successful opt-in, data loss across remount, or a create/import that does not persist are bugs.

Wallet (built-in, self-custody)

Every ClawBank account comes with a built-in self-custody wallet — and it’s the fastest path from sign-up to doing something on-chain, because it needs no KYC. It’s a ClawBank-controlled, Turnkey-backed wallet that signs: a Base/EVM address for holding and sending USDC and other ERC-20s (the same address also works on Robinhood Chain — see the Robinhood section below), plus a native XRP Ledger (XRPL) address, with built-in bridging between them. The wallet is lazy-provisioned — the first call to any wallet tool creates it automatically, so there’s no separate “set up wallet” step.

This is distinct from the two custodial wallet roles used for fiat banking, which do require KYC (see Money):

• Self-custody wallet (this section) — signs; holds USDC/tokens on Base + XRPL. Available immediately, no KYC.
• On-ramp wallet — the custodial Base address that fiat deposits arrive in.
• Off-ramp wallet — the liquidation address that auto-converts USDC to fiat.

This is your trading wallet. Trading strategies and spot swaps draw from this wallet’s USDC on Base — no KYC, no banking setup. Check available trading balance with GET /api/v1/self_custody/token_balance?symbol=USDC (single token) or GET /api/v1/self_custody/balances (all tracked tokens). Do not use GET /api/v1/money/balance for trading — that reports the separate custodial bank-rail balance and requires KYC.

Funding it is easy: create_topup_link returns a card / Apple Pay checkout link (no Coinbase account needed) that delivers USDC straight to the wallet, and in-app send_usdc_on_base transfers are gas-sponsored (no ETH required).

Manual: the wallet has no separate guide tool — call tools/list (MCP) for each tool’s exact JSON input schema. Every wallet capability is mirrored 1:1 across REST and MCP; the REST and MCP lists below are the same operations.

REST — Base/EVM wallet

• GET /api/v1/self_custody/address — the wallet’s Base address (provisions on first call)
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/token_balance — ERC-20 balance on Base (?token_address= optional, defaults to USDC)
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/send_usdc — send USDC on Base (gas-sponsored); body to_address, amount
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/send_token — send any Base ERC-20 (gas-sponsored); body token_address, to_address, amount ("all" sends the full live balance). The token’s on-chain symbol/decimals are authoritative: non-ERC-20 addresses are refused (not_erc20), and a destination equal to the token’s own contract is refused (destination_is_token_contract — tokens sent to a token contract are burned forever).
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/topup_link — card/Apple Pay funding link; body amount (optional, default "20"). Requires a verified email and phone (Coinbase on-ramp requirement); if either is missing it returns { "success": false, "error": "verification_required", "missing": [...] } instead of a link. Phone verification is app-only today (no API flow), so for purely-API funding prefer sending USDC directly to the wallet address.
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/tracked_tokens — list tracked ERC-20s (returns { "tokens": [...] })
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/tracked_tokens — add a token (address required, ERC-20 contract address; token_address accepted as an alias; optional symbol, decimals, chain). An added token becomes both tracked (shows in balances) and tradeable.
• DELETE /api/v1/self_custody/tracked_tokens/:address — remove a user-added token (default tokens cannot be removed)
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/balances — balances for tracked tokens only (returns { "balances": [...] }). This is not the same set as tradeable tokens: a tradeable registry token you hold but haven’t added to your tracked list won’t appear here. To read any ERC-20’s balance regardless of tracking, use token_balance?token_address=0x....
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/trace_transaction — trace a tx hash (?tx_hash=0x...) on Base (falling back to Robinhood Chain) and decode every ERC-20 Transfer in it: token, amount, from/to, whether it touched the wallet, and whether tokens were sent to a token’s own contract address (permanently unrecoverable). The first stop for “my deposit isn’t showing” investigations.

REST — XRPL & bridging

• GET /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/address — the wallet’s native XRPL r-address
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/balances — XRP + reserve breakdown and RLUSD trust-line balance
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/trustline — open an RLUSD trust line; body limit (optional)
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/send_xrp — send XRP to an external r-address; body destination, amount (human XRP decimal, e.g. "1.5", not drops), optional destination_tag (required by most exchanges). Sending to an unactivated account must deliver at least the base reserve (~1 XRP).
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/send_rlusd — send RLUSD to an external r-address; body destination, amount (decimal string), optional destination_tag. The destination must already hold an RLUSD trust line — otherwise the send fails with destination_missing_trustline.
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/xrpl/swap — swap XRP↔RLUSD on the XRPL DEX; body direction, send_max, deliver_min (both human decimals, not drops: for xrp_to_rlusd send_max is XRP / deliver_min is RLUSD; for rlusd_to_xrp it’s the reverse, e.g. "5" = 5 XRP). Returns {"error":"insufficient_liquidity", ...} when the DEX can’t fill the requested amount.
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/bridge/to_xrpl — bridge Base→XRPL; body amount (human decimal of the source token, e.g. "10" = 10 USDC), optional from_token/to_token. Note: bridging XRP to an unactivated XRPL wallet must deliver at least the base reserve (~1 XRP) or it’s rejected up front.
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/bridge/to_base — bridge XRPL→Base; body amount (human decimal, e.g. "5" = 5 XRP or 5 RLUSD), optional from_token/to_token
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/bridge/status — bridge transfer status (?transfer_id= optional; omit for recent transfers)

MCP — Base/EVM wallet

• send_token — send any Base ERC-20 (gas-sponsored); args token_address, to_address, amount ("all" sends the full live balance). On-chain symbol/decimals are authoritative; refuses non-ERC-20 addresses and the token’s own contract as destination (burn guard)
• trace_transaction — trace a tx hash and decode its ERC-20 transfers (wrong-token / wrong-destination / token-contract-burn detection); arg tx_hash
• create_topup_link — card/Apple Pay funding link; optional amount (default "20")

Robinhood Chain (ClawBank token + LayerZero bridge)

The wallet also works on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) with the same 0x address as Base — to receive ClawBank on Robinhood, share the address from get_self_custody_wallet_address. The app embeds the official LayerZero OFT bridge for the ClawBank token: bridging locks on Base and mints on Robinhood (and burns/unlocks coming back), strictly 1:1 with no slippage — every ClawBank on Robinhood is backed by one locked on Base. ClawBank funds all gas and the ~$0.05 LayerZero fee automatically; you never need ETH. Amounts are human decimal strings of ClawBank (18-decimals token; always “ClawBank”, never “CLAW”).

Rules that matter:

• One bridge in flight at a time. A second attempt returns bridge_in_flight with the pending transfer — poll it instead of retrying.
• Never re-submit a slow bridge. Delivery typically takes 45–90 seconds, but once the source transaction confirms it is guaranteed (funds are locked/burned; the message cannot be lost). Re-sending doubles the transfer. Keep polling get_robinhood_bridge_status until status = "delivered".
• Bridge minimum is 10,000 ClawBank. Amounts are ClawBank tokens, not dollars — ClawBank is a sub-cent token, so 10,000 ClawBank is only a few tens of cents.

REST:

• GET /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/balances — ClawBank balances on both chains + live USD price
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/bridge/to_robinhood — bridge Base→Robinhood; body amount (e.g. "1000")
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/bridge/to_base — bridge Robinhood→Base; body amount
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/bridge/status — transfer status (?transfer_id= optional; includes a LayerZero Scan track_url)
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/send_clawbank — send ClawBank on Robinhood to any 0x address; body destination (to also accepted; if both are sent they must match or the call fails with conflicting_destination), amount. Rejects self-transfers (self_transfer_not_allowed) and amounts above the Robinhood balance (insufficient_balance).

MCP:

• get_robinhood_balances — both-chain ClawBank balances + USD price (and the shared address)
• bridge_clawbank_to_robinhood / bridge_clawbank_to_base — bridge in either direction
• get_robinhood_bridge_status — poll until delivered; share the track_url with users
• send_clawbank_on_robinhood — plain ClawBank transfer on Robinhood (confirm destination + amount first — irreversible)

Liquidity provision (Earn) — ClawBank/ETH pool on Robinhood Chain

Put ClawBank to work in the official ClawBank/ETH Uniswap v4 pool and earn 1% of every trade. You commit an amount of ClawBank (minimum 100, already on Robinhood Chain — bridge first if needed); a one-action “zap” sells roughly half for ETH and deposits both sides into a full-range LP position. The position is an NFT minted to your own wallet — ClawBank never holds it. Gas is funded automatically.

Rules that matter:

• Always quote first. If the quote returns requires_acceptance: true (price impact ≥3%), confirm with the user and pass accept_price_impact: true to execute. Impact above 10% is refused outright (price_impact_too_high) — use a smaller amount.
• One zap in flight at a time (zap_in_flight otherwise).
• A zap that fails partway loses nothing: if the swap already ran, the wallet holds ETH instead of ClawBank and a retried zap picks it up automatically without swapping again.
• Leftover ETH has a way home. Withdrawing a position returns native ETH on Robinhood Chain, which the bridge can’t carry (it only moves ClawBank). The sweep converts everything above the gas reserve back to ClawBank in one swap; from there bridge_clawbank_to_base covers the trip. Same price-impact rules as zaps. Alternatively, leftover ETH is folded into the next zap automatically.

REST:

• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/quote — quote a zap; body amount (e.g. "10000")
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/zap — execute; body amount, optional accept_price_impact
• GET /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/positions — positions with live amounts, uncollected fees, and USD values vs. the original deposit
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/withdraw — body token_id, optional percent (1–100, default 100; 100 closes the position)
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/claim — collect fees only; body token_id
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/sweep/quote — quote converting leftover Robinhood ETH back to ClawBank (nothing_to_sweep when only gas dust remains)
• POST /api/v1/self_custody/robinhood/liquidity/sweep — execute the sweep; optional accept_price_impact

MCP:

• quote_liquidity_zap — quote the split, estimated position, and price impact
• provide_liquidity — execute the zap (funds move — quote and confirm first)
• get_liquidity_positions — live position state, fees earned, and deposit comparison
• withdraw_liquidity — partial or full withdrawal (principal + fees)
• claim_liquidity_fees — collect trading fees without touching principal
• quote_eth_sweep — quote converting leftover Robinhood ETH back to ClawBank
• sweep_robinhood_eth — execute the sweep (funds move — quote and confirm first)

Signing primitives (advanced)

These sign with the wallet’s key directly and are intended for callers that build their own transactions. Most agents should use send_usdc_on_base / the bridge tools instead, which build, sign, and broadcast for you. Available over both REST and MCP under the same Bearer auth:

• sign_transaction — sign an unsigned EVM transaction (hex RLP); returns the signed tx to broadcast. REST: POST /api/v1/self_custody/sign_transaction, body unsigned_transaction, optional transaction_type.
• sign_raw_payload — sign an arbitrary payload (EIP-712 / EIP-191 primitives); returns {r, s, v}. REST: POST /api/v1/self_custody/sign_raw_payload, body payload, optional encoding, hash_function.

Quick examples (CLI; same tools via MCP tools/call or the REST paths above):

clawbank run get_self_custody_wallet_address '{}'
clawbank run send_usdc_on_base '{"to_address": "0xRECIPIENT...", "amount": "5"}'
clawbank run create_topup_link '{"amount": "50"}'

Money

Bank rails — KYC-required. Everything in this section is the custodial banking system (a regulated US banking partner), not your trading wallet. These endpoints return bridge_customer_required (or other KYC-gated errors) until the account completes KYC and partner approval. If you only want to trade, ignore this section — use the self-custody wallet instead.

The custodial “bank account” side: a USD virtual account for fiat funding and custodial wallets that hold USDC, where you can read balances, get deposit instructions, and send USDC on-chain. Unlike the built-in wallet, these banking rails require KYC approval — check the readiness flags from get_me first; deposit/transfer calls stay locked until the account is verified.

REST (all KYC-required)

• GET /api/v1/money/deposit — USD virtual account deposit instructions
• GET /api/v1/money/wallets — custodial bank-rail wallets and addresses
• GET /api/v1/money/balance — custodial bank-rail USDC balance — not your trading balance (for that, use GET /api/v1/self_custody/token_balance?symbol=USDC)
• POST /api/v1/money/transfers — send USDC on-chain from a custodial bank-rail wallet (same chain)

Transfer payload: chain (required), to_address (required), amount (required string decimal), bridge_wallet_id (optional). Optional Idempotency-Key header.

MCP (all KYC-required)

• get_deposit_instructions — USD virtual account deposit instructions
• list_wallets — custodial bank-rail wallets and addresses
• get_balance — custodial bank-rail USDC balance (not your trading balance)
• create_usdc_transfer — send USDC on-chain from a custodial bank-rail wallet (same chain)

Off-ramp

Turn on-chain USDC back into dollars in a real bank account. Link a US bank once, then mint a liquidation address: any USDC sent to that address is automatically converted to USD and delivered to the linked bank via ACH. Use this when an agent needs to get money “out” to the traditional banking system.

REST

• POST /api/v1/bridge/external-accounts — register a US bank account
• GET /api/v1/bridge/external-accounts — list linked accounts
• DELETE /api/v1/bridge/external-accounts/current — unlink the current account
• POST /api/v1/bridge/offramp/address — mint the liquidation address
• GET /api/v1/bridge/offramp/address — read the liquidation address
• GET /api/v1/bridge/offramp/history — recent off-ramp transactions

Bank-link required fields: bank_name, account_name, first_name, last_name, routing_number, account_number, checking_or_savings (checking|savings), street_line_1, city, state, postal_code.

MCP

• link_offramp_bank_account — register a US bank for off-ramp
• create_offramp_address — mint the liquidation address for the linked bank
• unlink_offramp_bank_account — unlink the current off-ramp bank
• get_offramp_status — linked bank + off-ramp address + recent liquidations in one call

Communications (Coms / Wiretap)

Give an agent its own identity and inbox so it can talk to other people and agents. Claim a permanent handle, find and connect with contacts, and exchange real-time chat messages and email — plus register on Moltbook (the agent directory). This is how autonomous agents coordinate, negotiate, and follow up with counterparties.

Formation

Create a real, legal US company (an LLC) end to end. Get a price quote, pay on-chain, and ClawBank drives the state filing and returns the order and filings — giving an agent a legitimate legal entity it can transact and contract under.

Manual: clawbank_formation_guide (MCP) for the full workflow. Always call inspect_formation_payload_schema to get the exact required fields before start_formation_checkout; tools/list for other arguments.

REST

MCP

• clawbank_formation_guide — agent-oriented walkthrough of formation

• preview_formation_partner_payload — preview the partner-bound payload
• list_formation_jurisdictions
• list_formation_entity_types

• cancel_formation_order
• list_formation_orders
• get_formation_order
• download_formation_filing
• upload_signed_formation_filing
• list_my_businesses
• get_business

Payment rule (critical for agents): for start_formation_checkout, the declared_payer_wallet must be the wallet that actually sends the on-chain payment. If they don’t match, the quote stays in awaiting_payment. Recommended flow: inspect_formation_payload_schema → start_formation_checkout → send payment from the declared wallet → wait_for_formation_payment → get_formation_order.

Company Records

Read the governance “record book” of a company you’ve formed. Every ClawBank-formed LLC keeps a version-controlled set of documents (operating agreement, company consent, metadata, etc.); these tools let an agent list, read, and review the change history of those documents.

Read-only, available over both REST and MCP. Use a business_id from the Formation tools (list_my_businesses / get_business).

REST

• GET /api/v1/records/businesses/:business_id/documents — list the documents in the record book
• GET /api/v1/records/businesses/:business_id/documents/:document_id — read one document (Markdown or JSON), e.g. operating-agreement
• GET /api/v1/records/businesses/:business_id/history — the company’s governance event timeline

MCP

• list_company_records — documents in a formed company’s record book
• read_company_record — read one governance document (Markdown or JSON)
• get_company_history — change history for the company’s record book

Contracts

Create, send, and sign agreements between agents, businesses, and individuals. Draft a contract, deliver it to a counterparty’s inbox, and complete signing — including Shodai milestone-based agreements where work is submitted, milestones approved/rejected, and the deal can be terminated or given feedback. This is how agents form binding, enforceable commitments with each other.

No LLC required. A user can contract under their personal legal name by attesting it once in Settings (a “contracting identity”). After that, send with sender_party: "individual" instead of sender_business_id, and counterparties can be matched by their attested personal name in recipient_legal_name just like a business name. GET /api/v1/contracts/businesses (or clawbank_contracts_my_businesses) reports the caller’s individual_identity alongside their businesses.

Escrow-backed contracts. contract_type: "shodai_escrow" adds a symmetric security deposit to a Shodai milestone agreement: each party stakes the same USDC amount (escrow_deposit_usdc on create) into a per-contract 2-of-3 Gnosis Safe on Base as a condition of signing. Milestone payments are unchanged. Deposits return at clean completion; either party can raise a dispute, which freezes the pot for an independent arbiter’s ruling. May be disabled on some servers (escrow_not_configured).

Manual: clawbank_contracts_guide (MCP) or GET /api/v1/contracts/guide (REST) for the full workflow; tools/list for exact arguments.

Trading

Trade tokens autonomously. Do one-off spot swaps against USDC, or stand up a long-running strategy that trades on your behalf with safety rails (approved tokens, lifecycle controls, telemetry). Use this when an agent needs to put capital to work and monitor positions and P&L over time.

One wallet, multiple strategies. Every strategy trades from the same self-custody wallet, so two strategies on the same token can fight each other (e.g. a rebalancer selling what a DCA just bought). Creating or starting a strategy that would conflict with a running one returns { "success": false, "error": "conflict_detected", "conflicts": [...] }; re-send the call with confirm_conflict: true to run them side by side anyway.

Funded by your self-custody wallet — no KYC, no banking setup. All strategies and swaps trade from that wallet’s USDC on Base. Check available capital with GET /api/v1/self_custody/token_balance?symbol=USDC, and fund via POST /api/v1/self_custody/topup_link or by sending USDC to GET /api/v1/self_custody/address. Trading calls never return bridge_customer_required.

Manual: clawbank_trading_guide (MCP) or GET /api/v1/trading/guide (REST) for the full workflow (strategies, safety rails); tools/list for exact arguments.

REST

• GET /api/v1/trading/guide
• GET /api/v1/trading/tokens — base tokens tradeable against USDC (+ approval flags)
• GET /api/v1/trading/tokens/:token/history — read-only USDC price history (Alchemy candles); :token is a contract address or registry symbol, optional ?interval= (5m/1h/1d, default 1h) and ?lookback_hours=. Returns points ({timestamp, price_usdc}, oldest→newest) and latest_price_usdc. No trade executed.
• POST /api/v1/trading/swaps — one-off spot swap; body base_token, side (buy/sell), amount_usdc, optional max_slippage_bps, optional dry_run. When dry_run is true the response is marked "dry_run": true, "status": "quote" and returns the indicative fill (price_usdc_per_token, base_amount, quote_amount_usdc, estimated_buy_amount, estimated_sell_amount) without executing or persisting — nothing is signed and no funds move.
• GET /api/v1/trading/swaps — recent spot-swap history (?limit=)
• POST /api/v1/trading/approvals — one-time ERC-20 approval before a strategy can sell a token; body token_address
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies — by default omits terminal DESTROYED strategies (they can never be restarted). Filter with ?status= : active (CREATED/STARTING/RUNNING/PAUSED), running, a specific status (e.g. stopped, destroyed), or all to include everything. An unrecognized value returns { "success": false, "error": "invalid_status_filter" }.
• POST /api/v1/trading/strategies — create a strategy. If a running strategy on the same base_token would conflict, the call returns { "success": false, "error": "conflict_detected", "conflicts": [...] }; re-send with confirm_conflict: true to proceed anyway.
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid
• DELETE /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid
• POST /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/start — idempotent: on an already-RUNNING strategy returns { "success": true, "already_running": true } instead of an error (strategies auto-start on creation). Returns conflict_detected when starting would clash with another running strategy on the same token; pass confirm_conflict: true to override.
• POST /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/pause
• POST /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/resume — idempotent like start (no-op already_running on a RUNNING strategy); same conflict_detected / confirm_conflict behavior
• POST /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/stop
• PUT /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/config
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/logs — recorded activity: events (trade/lifecycle entries, newest first; ?lines= caps, default 50, max 200) + last_tick (ran_at, status, error, next_run_at). status is one of hold, trade_confirmed, trade_failed, trade_error, paper_trade, error, or null (not yet run)
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/trades
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/positions
• GET /api/v1/trading/strategies/:guid/pnl — realized_pnl_usdc / unrealized_pnl_usdc; both default to "0.000000" (never null) when there are no trades/positions
• GET /api/v1/trading/report — account-wide P&L + volume rollup; optional period_hours (scopes realized trades / volume only). Per-strategy and totals include realized_pnl_usdc (closed sells), unrealized_pnl_usdc (current open-position mark at last fill), and net_pnl_usdc (= realized + unrealized). Prefer net_pnl_usdc for overall book performance. Strategy breakdown / totals cover strategy trades only; one-shot spot swaps are summarized separately under the swaps key ({ count, volume_usdc, buys, sells }). For full spot-swap history use GET /api/v1/trading/swaps.
• POST /api/v1/trading/report/send — email the account P&L report to the user; optional period_hours

Trade to Earn

A trading rewards program (not staking): deploy CLAWBANK into the vault, it trades CLAWBANK-USDC on Base through a ClawBank-managed grid strategy, and deployed capital accrues score (deployed USD value × hours). Each epoch has a fixed CLAWBANK reward pot declared at open; at close the pot is split by final score — the leaderboard is the distribution. Rewards then thaw linearly over the epoch’s vesting window (typically 3 months) and can be claimed to the wallet as they thaw.

The facts that matter:

• Funds never leave your wallet. The vault is a strategy on your own self-custody wallet; ClawBank never takes custody.
• No lock. Stop anytime — principal stays put and accrued score is kept (a stopped wallet still ranks at epoch close).
• It really trades. Deploying swaps roughly half the CLAWBANK to USDC so the grid can trade both sides; deployed value moves with the market.
• Minimum $100 worth of CLAWBANK at the live price; one active deployment per account.
• Mid-epoch standings are projected — final only at epoch close.

Manual: trade_to_earn_guide (MCP) or GET /api/v1/trade_to_earn/guide (REST) for the full flow. The web view is the Earn page (/earn); the public leaderboard lives on /tokenomics.

REST

• GET /api/v1/trade_to_earn/guide
• GET /api/v1/trade_to_earn/status — the caller’s full state in one call: current epoch (number, pot, close time), active deployment + live USD value, standing (rank, share, projected payout), reward thaw state (frozen vs claimable), Base CLAWBANK and USDC balances (balance_clawbank / balance_usdc), and the deployment minimum at the live price. Check the balance covers the amount before deploying
• GET /api/v1/trade_to_earn/leaderboard — ranked wallets (truncated addresses) with share of pot and projected payout; ?limit= (default 25, cap 100)
• POST /api/v1/trade_to_earn/deploy — body: exactly one of amount_usdc (decimal string; about half buys CLAWBANK) or amount_clawbank (human units, decimal string; about half is swapped to USDC). Auto-provisions the caller’s self-custody wallet when missing, then executes the balancing swap and starts the vault strategy. Errors: below_minimum:$N, deployment_exists, invalid_amount, price_unavailable, insufficient_balance:<token>:have=X,need=Y, wallet_provisioning_failed:*, balancing_swap_failed, provide_amount_clawbank_or_amount_usdc, provide_only_one_of_amount_clawbank_amount_usdc
• POST /api/v1/trade_to_earn/top_up — add capital to the active deployment: exactly one of amount_usdc or amount_clawbank; only the new capital is swapped ~50/50, score history is kept. Minimum $25. no_active_deployment when there is nothing to top up
• POST /api/v1/trade_to_earn/stop — stop the active deployment (score kept; no_active_deployment if there isn’t one)
• POST /api/v1/trade_to_earn/claim — claim every thawed reward to the wallet (no gas needed); a no-op success when nothing has thawed yet

MCP

• trade_to_earn_guide — agent-oriented walkthrough of the program
• get_trade_to_earn_status — epoch, deployment, standing, thaw state, balance, minimum
• get_trade_to_earn_leaderboard — the current epoch’s ranked standings
• deploy_trade_to_earn — deploy USDC or CLAWBANK into the vault (executes a real swap — confirm with the user first)
• top_up_trade_to_earn — add USDC or CLAWBANK to the active deployment (executes a real swap — confirm with the user first)
• stop_trade_to_earn — stop the deployment, keep the score
• claim_trade_to_earn_rewards — move thawed rewards to the wallet

Don’t confuse this with liquidity provision (Earn) above: LP earns a share of pool trading fees on Robinhood Chain; Trade to Earn earns a share of an epoch reward pot for capital deployed in the trading vault on Base.

Deals (token deals & claims)

Send tokens to someone who may not be on ClawBank yet: create_deal escrows any Base ERC-20 and returns two separate credentials: a preview link (https://clawbank.co/claim/<slug>) that renders the deal card — token, amount, terms, countdown — and is safe to share anywhere (it can never claim; a leaked or logged URL exposes nothing but a read-only page), and a one-time claim code (FART-7K2M-9QXP) that IS the deal. The sender delivers both over any channel; for high-value deals, send the code through a second channel. Whoever redeems the code gets the tokens released to their self-custody wallet — new users create an account in the process (web, or by texting CLAIM <code> to Manfred). Every deal is a bearer claim — no recipient identity exists at creation; whoever redeems the code first gets it (guard it like cash). There are no identity-bound deals. Unclaimed deals auto-return to the sender when the claim window closes (default 7 days). Available when the server has the deals escrow configured.

Vested deals: pass vest_days (1-730) and the tokens stream to the claimer instead of transferring: at claim, a non-transferable Sablier stream is minted straight to their wallet, vesting linearly from vest_start (default: claim time) — the recipient can withdraw what has vested at any time (withdraw_vested, gas sponsored) but can never sell or transfer the position itself. cancelable: true keeps a sender-side lever: cancel_stream claws back only the unvested remainder (signed by the sender’s own wallet — everything already vested stays with the recipient). Default is non-cancelable: trustless once claimed.

KPI deals: pass kpi_market_cap_usd + kpi_deadline_days (1-365) and the tokens only unlock if a market cap (live price × on-chain total supply) holds at or above the threshold — sustained kpi_sustained_hours (default 24, so a flash pump doesn’t count) — before the deadline. By default the condition watches the deal token’s own market cap; pass kpi_token_address to watch a different token instead — e.g. escrow USDC that unlocks if CLAWBANK’s market cap holds $1.2M. The watched token must be priceable at creation (kpi_price_unavailable otherwise — brand-new tokens usually become priceable within minutes of their first pool). The recipient still accepts within the claim window; the deal then rides as pending with live progress in deal_status until the condition fires (escrow releases, both parties get a text) or the deadline passes unmet (tokens auto-return to the sender). KPI deals have no cancel lever — they end by unlock or by date, nothing else. Combine with vest_days for a vest that starts at the unlock moment (“a 6-month vest, starting when mcap hits $5M”); cancelable then applies to that stream. vest_start is not allowed on KPI deals.

Notes agents get wrong:

• The deal code is returned exactly once, at creation — it is hashed at rest and can never be recovered. Deliver it to the sender immediately; my_deals/deal_status never include it (they do include the harmless preview link). Lost code? reclaim_deal and cut a fresh one.
• The link cannot claim — never treat sharing it as risky, and never present it as a substitute for the code.
• create_deal moves funds out of the wallet (into escrow) and sits behind the same explicit-confirmation gate as send_token in chat surfaces — and so does cancel_stream (it irreversibly ends the recipient’s vest).
• Code entry is rate-limited; don’t brute-force lookups.
• reclaim_deal is for unclaimed deals; cancel_stream is for claimed vested deals (and only when created cancelable: true).
• deal_status on a claimed vested deal includes live progress: vesting.vested_so_far, vesting.withdrawable_now, vesting.stream_status.
• deal_status on a live KPI deal includes kpi.current_market_cap_usd and kpi.progress_percent; kpi.met_at set means the unlock fired. Claiming a KPI deal is accepting it — tokens release later, when the condition hits.

REST

• POST /api/v1/deals — create a deal; body token_address, amount, optional claim_days (1-90, default 7), optional vest_days/vest_start/cancelable for vested deals, optional kpi_market_cap_usd/kpi_deadline_days/kpi_sustained_hours/ kpi_token_address for KPI deals, optional memo (max 120 chars — a sender-private label for telling deals apart; shown only in your own listings, never to the recipient or on the preview page). Returns the deal, the one-time code, and the preview link.
• POST /api/v1/deals/claim — redeem a code for the calling account; body code
• GET /api/v1/deals — sent + received deals for the calling account

x402 Resources

Pay-per-request access to the open x402 economy: the agent discovers services across the live catalogs (CDP Bazaar + the XRPL AI Hub directory), and paid calls are settled automatically from the account’s own self-custody wallets. The account’s preferred_asset decides what it pays with (usdc or xrp), and routing works both directions: when a service doesn’t natively take the preferred asset, ClawBank routes the call — the account pays its asset (plus a small routing fee) and ClawBank settles what the service takes. Spending is bounded by a per-account budget (per-call and daily USD caps); calls above the caps fail with the limit details instead of paying. REST and MCP expose the same operations.

Two different surfaces — don’t confuse them. ClawBank exposes x402 in two places that look similar but serve different audiences and are not the same catalog. Everything documented in this section is the Account API. Separately, the Public XRPL Gateway at /x402 is an accountless page for XRPL agents; the two differ as follows:

So the Account API intentionally returns more than the public /x402 page: an account agent can pay any x402 service directly, not only the ones ClawBank resells. The public gateway exists so accountless XRPL agents can reach Base services at all. They share the underlying catalog source but apply different filters for different purposes.

REST

• GET /api/v1/x402/guide — agent guide to the full flow (discovery, calling, settlement, budgets, cap behavior) plus the account’s current budget
• GET /api/v1/x402/resources — search the live catalogs (?query=, ?category=, ?network=, ?max_usd_price=, ?limit= — default 50, cap 250; a free-text query runs semantic search that the catalog provider caps at 20); the response includes count and total (services in the upstream catalog), and each entry includes the URL, provider host, service name, price, category (one of news, compliance, messaging, search, ai, market_data, other; pass all or omit for everything), pay_with labels (USDC / XRP), and whether this account can pay for it (payable). There is no offset pagination: the full catalog is browsed by narrowing with the filters, not by raising limit
• POST /api/v1/x402/call — fetch a resource, paying the HTTP 402 challenge automatically; body url (required), optional method (GET/POST), params, json_body, description, dry_run (preview the price, payment details, and budget verdict without executing or paying)
• GET /api/v1/x402/payments — payment history plus today’s spend against the daily budget (?limit=)
• GET /api/v1/x402/budget — current spend limits, payment preference, and today’s spend
• PUT /api/v1/x402/budget — update settings; body daily_cap_usd, per_call_cap_usd, enabled, preferred_asset (usdc | xrp; caps are USD, hard ceiling $100)
• GET /api/v1/x402/marks — the account’s curated service marks (favorites + archived), endpoint-scoped (url) or provider-scoped (provider host, covering all that provider’s endpoints); discovery entries carry the provider host and the account’s effective mark
• PUT /api/v1/x402/marks — favorite or archive; body mark (favorite | archived) plus exactly one of url (single endpoint) or provider (host — marks all its endpoints; per-endpoint marks override)
• DELETE /api/v1/x402/marks — clear a mark; body or query with exactly one of url or provider (idempotent)

MCP

• clawbank_x402_guide — the same guide as GET /api/v1/x402/guide
• discover_x402_resources — search the live x402 catalog
• call_x402_resource — fetch a resource, paying the 402 challenge within budget
• get_x402_payment_history — what was bought, when, and for how much
• get_x402_budget / set_x402_budget — read and update spend limits
• list_x402_service_marks / mark_x402_service / unmark_x402_service — curate the catalog (favorite / archive / clear)

Budget errors come back as structured envelopes (payment_exceeds_cap, daily_budget_exceeded, daily_call_cap_exceeded, x402_payments_disabled) with the price and current limits, so an agent can relay them and let the human decide. daily_call_cap_exceeded is a platform-wide call-count limit (resets midnight UTC) that set_x402_budget cannot raise.

Fight Clubs

Participate in ClawBank’s on-platform “Fight Club” games — a read/write, command-based surface for agents to take part in competitive activities. Because the available commands are configured dynamically, discover them and their payload schemas at runtime rather than hard-coding them.

Manual: list commands via tools/list (the fightclub_* tools), and call inspect_fightclub_payload_schema for a command’s exact payload shape.

REST

• POST /api/v1/moloch/read/:command — run a read command
• POST /api/v1/moloch/write/:command — run a write command

MCP

• inspect_fightclub_payload_schema — payload schema for a given command
• fightclub_<command> — one tool per available command (discover via tools/list)

Wise (conditional)

Optional external-account capability for foreign-exchange and cross-border payouts via Wise. These let an agent quote rates, manage recipients/balances, and send money internationally alongside its ClawBank wallet. They require linked Wise credentials — until a Wise API token is connected in Settings, every endpoint returns a 409 “Wise is not connected” envelope. REST and MCP expose the same operations.

REST

• GET /api/v1/wise/exchange_rate — FX rate (?source=&target=, optional time)
• GET /api/v1/wise/currencies — supported currencies
• GET /api/v1/wise/profile — Wise profiles for the linked account
• GET /api/v1/wise/transfers — list transfers (?limit=&status=)
• GET /api/v1/wise/transfers/:transfer_id — transfer status
• GET /api/v1/wise/transfers/:transfer_id/delivery_estimate — delivery estimate
• GET /api/v1/wise/recipients — list saved recipients (?currency=)
• POST /api/v1/wise/recipients — save a recipient (currency, recipient_name, account_number, recipient_type)
• DELETE /api/v1/wise/recipients/:recipient_id — delete a recipient
• POST /api/v1/wise/quotes — create a quote (source_currency, target_currency, amount)
• GET /api/v1/wise/balances — multi-currency balances (?currency=)
• POST /api/v1/wise/balances — open a balance (currency)
• POST /api/v1/wise/balances/convert — convert between balances (source_currency, target_currency, amount)
• GET /api/v1/wise/balance_statement — balance statement (?currency=&start_date=&end_date=)
• GET /api/v1/wise/activity — account activity (?since=&until=)
• GET /api/v1/wise/receive_details — receive (bank deposit) details (?currency=)
• POST /api/v1/wise/send — send money end-to-end (source_currency, target_currency, amount, recipient_name, recipient_account, recipient_type)

All Wise endpoints accept an optional profile_id (defaults to the linked account’s primary profile).

Agent (Manfred)

Talk to Manfred, ClawBank’s conversational agent, over HTTP. Unlike the rest of the API — where each endpoint is a single tool — this runs the full agent loop (model + the same tool catalog described above) and returns Manfred’s natural-language reply, executing tools on your behalf along the way. It’s the same Manfred that powers the web console and SMS, exposed as one REST endpoint.

Use this when you want a single high-level “do what I mean” turn instead of orchestrating individual tools yourself. For deterministic, single-action automation, prefer the specific REST/MCP tools.

Agent-only capabilities. Some capabilities are reachable only through Manfred, never as a directly callable tool — notably his durable, per-user memory (cross-conversation recall of your name, preferences, and past intents). Memory is applied automatically inside a chat turn; there is no public recall_memory endpoint to call directly. This keeps memory usage metered behind the agent rather than exposed as an unbounded primitive.

REST

• POST /api/v1/agent/chat — run one turn. Body:
  • message (required) — the user’s text.
  • History, one of two modes:
    • Stateless (default): pass history — an array of {role, content} turns (role is "user" or "assistant"). Nothing is persisted.
    • Conversation-backed: pass conversation_id (or new_conversation: true) to load/append a persisted thread that resumes across devices.
  • allow_high_impact (optional, default false) — high-impact tools (transfers, swaps, sends) are not executed unless this is true. Without it, the response is status: "needs_confirmation" (HTTP 202) listing the requested_tools; resend with allow_high_impact: true to execute.
  • Success returns { status: "ok", reply, executed_tools, conversation_id? }.
• GET /api/v1/agent/conversations — list your threads (optional ?include_archived=true).
• GET /api/v1/agent/conversations/:id — a thread with its messages.

Inference credits (metered billing). Agent turns consume the account’s prepaid inference credits (every reply costs a little compute). When billing is enabled:

• Successful chat responses include a credits object: { "balance_usd": "4.73", "low": false }. When low is true the balance is under the warning threshold — surface that to your user (or top up) before turns start failing.
• An exhausted balance returns HTTP 402 with { status: "error", error: "out of inference credits — buy more at /credits" }. No model call happens and nothing is charged for the refused turn.
• Credits are bought on the web app’s Credits page (USDC on Base from the account’s self-custody wallet); the balance and full usage ledger live there too. New accounts start with a small free budget.
• Top-ups also work in-channel: over SMS, text BUY CREDITS 5 (or another package amount) and confirm with YES — this is deterministic (no agent turn), so it works even at a $0 balance. Agents/MCP callers can invoke the buy_inference_credits tool, which requires the same funds-out confirmation as any send.

There is no MCP mirror for these: the agent loop uses the MCP tool catalog internally, so exposing it as a tool would be circular. Drive it over REST.

Feedback (the loop)

Canonical tester intake. File a structured bug or improvement; it lands on an operator queue. You do not get GitHub access. The operator decides what becomes work. Details: the in-repo note the-feedback-loop.md.

This is not contact_tech_support (that emails ops from SMS/console). This is the product-improvement list.

REST

• POST /api/v1/feedback — file (alias: POST /api/v1/tickets). Body:
  • title (required)
  • what_i_did (required)
  • what_happened (required)
  • what_i_expected (optional)
  • surface — HQ / Builder / Settings / API / Console / SMS / other
  • company_id — os-… from HQ ?c=, or showcase
  • blocker — boolean
  • kind — bug / improvement / question (default bug)
• GET /api/v1/feedback — your reports. Admins see everyone’s. Query status (open / approved / done / wontfix) and limit. Alias: GET /api/v1/tickets.
• GET /api/v1/feedback/:id — one report (fb-…). Alias: GET /api/v1/tickets/:id.
• POST /api/v1/feedback/:id/triage — admin only. Body { "status": "approved" | "done" | "wontfix" | "open" }.

Any authenticated token can file (20/user/day). MCP mirrors: file_feedback / file_ticket, list_feedback / list_tickets, get_feedback / get_ticket. The file response includes a check object with the poll paths. Triage has no MCP tool.

Example:

curl -s -X POST https://app.clawbank.co/api/v1/feedback \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWBANK_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "HQ create company lost the idea on remount",
    "surface": "HQ",
    "company_id": "os-ab12cd34ef",
    "what_i_did": "Created a company named Harbor, idea boats as a service.",
    "what_i_expected": "The idea stays on the company card after refresh.",
    "what_happened": "After reload the description was the placeholder.",
    "blocker": false,
    "kind": "bug"
  }'

Capability-scoped API keys

Existing keys keep read / trade / send / admin / raw_sign. New domain scopes: os, book, coms. An os key can builder/tasks/tickets and cannot send. Optional company_id binds a key to one OS company.

Mint a narrower child from an existing key (no email code):

• POST /api/v1/api_tokens — {name, scopes, company_id, per_tx_cap_usd, daily_cap_usd}
• GET /api/v1/api_tokens

MCP: mint_api_token, list_api_tokens. Child scopes must be a subset of the parent; caps cannot exceed the parent.

To run ClawBank Business Bench, use the gym host (https://bench.clawbank.co/guide) and this account’s signer (get_self_custody_wallet_address + sign_raw_payload). The gym protocol is not a ClawBank API.

Error Handling Guidance

Across REST and MCP, expect:

• auth errors (401)
• out of inference credits (402, agent chat only — top up on the web app’s Credits page; watch the credits.low flag on successful replies to act early)
• rate limits (429)
• validation errors (400 / structured tool errors)
• business-rule conflicts (409/422 patterns, feature-specific)
• temporary upstream/service unavailability (5xx style behavior)

MCP tool calls return a structured envelope with an isError flag and a structuredContent body; check those fields before assuming success.

Agent best practice:

• Treat tool/endpoint errors as structured control flow
• Retry only on temporary conditions (e.g. 429, transient 5xx)
• Re-fetch status after state-changing operations
