Connect Gemini CLI to Pink Agentic AI Payments

What you get

Gemini CLI asks Pink before it pays

Once connected, Gemini CLI can see its budget, the payees it may pay and the rules that apply, run a dry run, request a payment and file the receipt. The rules you set in Pink decide each request: allowed on the spot, sent to a person on the phone, or blocked. Gemini CLI never holds a card number or a bank login.

Step by step

1. 1

   Create a free sandbox workspace

   Open agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com, type a company name, pick a template (coffee shop, startup or e-commerce) and click Create workspace. You get an admin key for the console and one key per AI agent. Keep the admin key: the sign-in page asks for it.

   

2. 2

   Copy an agent key

   From the workspace page or the console.

   

3. 3

   Add the server

   Run gemini mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer <agent_key>" pink https://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/mcp, or add it to ~/.gemini/settings.json under mcpServers with httpUrl and headers.
4. 4

   Check and use

   Run /mcp inside Gemini CLI to see Pink's seven tools, then describe the purchase.
5. 5

   Watch the approval land in the console

   Open the sandbox console (link on the workspace page). Requests that cleared, asked a person or were blocked are all listed with the rule that decided them. Approve the pending one and the agent continues.

   

The configuration, ready to paste

// ~/.gemini/settings.json
{ "mcpServers": { "pink": {
    "httpUrl": "https://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/mcp",
    "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <agent_key>" }
} } }

Replace <agent_key> with the key of the agent this coding agent should act as. Each agent has its own key, budget and rules.
