Send21 enables AI agents to prepare payments securely without holding keys

The article introduces send21, a non-custodial service designed to enable AI agents to handle payments securely. It proposes a split where agents prepare payment instructions, including details like recipient, amount, asset, and network, while a human approves and signs the transaction with their own wallet. This separation mitigates risks associated with agents directly managing private keys and funds, preventing potential misuse or theft. Send21's MCP server offers tools for creating payment requests and drafts, supporting various cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, and can be integrated into AI development environments like Cursor and Claude Desktop. AI
