AgentCard Skill

Give any AI agent the ability to create and manage prepaid virtual Visa cards.

This skill teaches AI agents how to use AgentCard MCP tools — creating cards, checking balances, paying for things, and more. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and 40+ other agents.

Quick Install

npx skills add tiny-agent-company/agent-card-skill

Then connect the MCP server to give your agent access to the tools:

# Claude Code (option A — built-in CLI command)
agent-cards setup-mcp

# Claude Code (option B — manual)
claude mcp add --transport http agent-cards https://mcp.agentcard.sh/mcp

For Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible agents, add to the MCP config file (.cursor/mcp.json, .windsurf/mcp.json, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-cards": {
      "url": "https://mcp.agentcard.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart your agent session after adding the MCP server — tools don't load until next session.

Authentication is handled via OAuth — your agent will prompt you to sign in on first use.

Setup Prompt

Copy-paste this into your AI agent to have it set everything up:

Set up AgentCard so I can create and manage virtual Visa cards from this agent.

Do these steps in order. Some steps require me to do something — wait for my confirmation before moving on.

1. Install the AgentCard skill:
   npx skills add tiny-agent-company/agent-card-skill

2. Install the CLI:
   npm install -g agent-cards

3. Check if I'm already logged in:
   agent-cards whoami
   If not logged in, run: agent-cards signup
   (I need to click the magic link in my email — wait for me to confirm)

4. Connect the MCP server:
   agent-cards setup-mcp
   If that doesn't work, run: claude mcp add --transport http agent-cards https://mcp.agentcard.sh/mcp

5. Tell me to restart this session so the MCP tools load.
   Do NOT try to use the tools in this session — they won't work until restart.
   Do NOT fall back to curl or raw API calls.

After I restart the session, I'll ask you to list my cards to verify it works.

What's Included

Skill (SKILL.md) — Procedural knowledge that teaches the agent:

When and how to use each of the 27 AgentCard tools
Workflows: card creation, balance checks, shopping & checkout (buy), payments, checkout autofill, plans, support
Safety rules: never expose PAN/CVV unprompted, confirm before closing cards or placing an order
Error handling: waitlists, approval flows, KYC requirements

Setup guide (references/setup.md) — Connection instructions the agent reads if tools aren't available yet.

What Can Your Agent Do?

Capability	Tools
Issue virtual cards	`create_card`, `submit_user_info`
Manage cards	`list_cards`, `check_balance`, `get_card_details`, `close_card`
View spending	`list_transactions`, `list_all_transactions`, `list_transactions_by_payment_method`
Shop & check out	`buy`, `get_instructions`, `buy_list_merchants`, `buy_unlink_merchant`
Pay for things	`detect_checkout`, `fill_card`, `pay_checkout`
Payment methods	`setup_payment_method`, `remove_payment_method`, `list_payment_methods`, `set_default_payment_method`
Plans & limits	`get_plan`, `upgrade_plan`, `cancel_plan`
Connected apps	`list_connections`
Account identity	`whoami`
Approvals	`approve_request`
Support	`start_support_chat`, `send_support_message`, `read_support_chat`

How It Works

Skill = procedural knowledge (a markdown file that gets loaded into your agent's context)
MCP server = tools (the actual API endpoints your agent calls)

You need both. The skill teaches the agent how to use the tools effectively — workflows, safety rules, error handling. The MCP server provides the tools themselves.

User: "Create me a $25 virtual card"
  ↓
Agent reads SKILL.md → knows the workflow
  ↓
Agent calls create_card(amount_cents: 2500) via MCP
  ↓
Card issued → agent presents summary
