Authoryze gives each agent purchase a single-use virtual card. A breach leaks one disposable card, not your funding source.

Control every dimension of agent spending.

Limits, approvals, merchant rules, and a full audit trail, all enforced server-side.

Spending limits

Set per-transaction, daily, weekly, and aggregate caps for each agent. Agents can spend, but never beyond what you allow.

Approvals

Small purchases auto-approve under thresholds you set. Larger ones come to you for review before any money moves.

Merchant rules

Allow each agent only the merchants you approve, or block specific merchants you don't. An agent buys where you permit and nowhere else.

Audit trail

Every payment is attributable, justified, and exportable: which agent bought what, when, why, and how it was approved. Complete visibility into every agent-initiated transaction.

Where agents spend.

Real purchases agents make once you hand them a card with rules attached.

Pay-as-it-runs API spend

Your agent tops up OpenAI, Anthropic, or any API it depends on, drawing a single-use card for each charge instead of holding your real one.

Campaigns that fund themselves

Your agent refills Google or Meta ad budgets as campaigns run, scoped to the amount you approved, never your actual card.

Subscriptions on the agent's tab

Your agent signs up for the data, scraping, or software tools it needs, each on a disposable card that dies after the charge.

Buys the drop, within limits

Your bot checks out a limited sneaker release the instant it goes live, auto-approved because it's under your threshold and the store is on your allowed list, no card shared, no standing access.

Your real card is never exposed.

When an agent is ready to pay, Authoryze issues a single-use virtual card scoped to that one approved purchase, over Mastercard or Visa. Your real card and funding details never reach the agent. Each card works once, for the approved amount, then it’s dead.

Your funding source stays hidden

The agent never touches your credit card, bank account, or Privacy.com key. Each approved purchase gets a single-use virtual card delivered through a time-limited view link, so a compromised agent leaks one disposable card and nothing else.

Works with the clients you use

Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, and ChatGPT connect over OAuth with no API key to manage. Claude Code, Codex, and custom agent frameworks authenticate by passing the per-agent API key as a bearer token in the MCP config. Same server, same tools, either way.
