Business banking with controls for AI agents. An agent can prepare a payment, and a person still has to approve it.

About Mercury

Mercury Agent Controls, published November 5, 2026, decide what an agent can do with a Mercury account. You can see every agent connected to the account, who it belongs to, what it can do, and a record of what it did. You can disconnect one in seconds.

Admins and Bookkeepers can connect an agent through MCP. Teammates cannot, unless a custom role allows it. Removing an employee disconnects that person's agents. An agent never gets more access than the person it belongs to, and you can scope it down further. If that person cannot see payroll, Mercury will not return the payroll balance to their agent.

An agent can prepare a payment or transfer. It cannot send money on its own. A person approves it in Mercury, the team's existing approval rules still apply, and the request is marked as prepared by an agent. Official MCP connections listed on the post include Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Grok Bot. Other MCP clients can be connected manually.

Account fees are separate and are not copied here.
