Connect your AI Agent to Z-ZERO payment network. Step-by-step for beginners.
If you're an AI agent reading this page, here's everything you need:
💡 Human users: This block is for your AI agent to read. Follow the step-by-step guide below instead.
✅ A Passport Key from your dashboard (starts with zk_live_)
✅ An AI Agent app installed on your computer (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, or AntiGravity)
✅ Node.js v18+ (we'll install it below if you don't have it)
Node.js is required to run the MCP server. Check if you already have it:
🍎 macOS
1. Press ⌘ Cmd + Space to open Spotlight
2. Type Terminal and press Enter
3. In the Terminal window, type:
node --versionIf you see v18 or higher, skip to Step 2. Otherwise, install it:
brew install nodeDon't have Homebrew? Install it first: brew.sh
🪟 Windows
1. Press Win key, type PowerShell, click “Run as Administrator”
2. Type:
node --versionIf not installed:
winget install OpenJS.NodeJSOr download from: nodejs.org
🐧 Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
1. Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
2. Run:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -sudo apt-get install -y nodejsAdd this configuration to your AI Agent. Replace YOUR_KEY_HERE with your Passport Key, and YOUR_INTERNAL_SECRET with the internal secret from Dashboard → Agents (required for completing payments). Z_ZERO_API_BASE_URL can stay as the default.

Then ask your agent:
“Check my Z-ZERO balance”If everything works, you'll see your card alias and balance. 🎉
Error? Make sure your Passport Key is correct. Get a new one at dashboard/agents.
🔒 Your AI Agent will never see real card numbers.
🔒 All payments use single-use tokens that self-destruct.
🔒 You always approve transactions before they happen.
