Financial controls for MCP agents

MCP makes tools discoverable and callable by agents. It does not by itself define a company's budget, approval or ROI rules.

The practical model

• Discover Alem through MCP/OpenAPI.
• Provision an agent under a company workspace.
• Give the agent a scoped key.
• Call spend/request before a costly action.
• Record cost and outcome after the action.

How Alem approaches it

Alem exposes an MCP endpoint and HTTP API so an agent can ask for an economic decision while the owner retains workspace-level policy.

What is live today

Alem's sandbox includes company workspaces, agent registry, budgets, spend policies, human approvals, economic ledger, ROI, HTTP/OpenAPI and MCP. Live payment execution remains private beta / integration-stage.
