Connect n8n to Pink Agentic AI Payments

Add an MCP Client node pointed at Pink with a Bearer credential; the AI Agent node gets the tools. Works with n8n workflows with an AI Agent node. Plans: n8n Cloud or self-hosted.

What you get

n8n asks Pink before it pays

Once connected, n8n 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. n8n 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.
    After creating a workspace: the admin key and one key per agent are shown once

    Copy an agent key

    From the workspace page or the console.

  3. 3

    Add an MCP Client tool node

    In your workflow, add the MCP Client tool to the AI Agent node. Set the endpoint to https://agentic-sandbox.pinkwallet.com/mcp, the server transport to HTTP Streamable, and authentication to Bearer Auth with a credential holding the agent key.
  4. 4

    Run the workflow

    Give the agent the purchase as input. The execution log shows each Pink tool call.
  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.
    Approvals in the console: the rule that stopped the request, the agent's reason, the evidence

Try it: say this to n8n

Say this

“Check my budget with Pink, then order 20 kg of espresso beans from Counter Culture Coffee for $420. After that, order $890 of weekly supplies from Sysco.”

What you will see

The first order is allowed on the spot and the agent receives a single-use test credential. The second stops at the store manager's rule ($500–$2,000): it shows up under Approvals in the console, and the agent waits for a person. Approve it there and the agent picks up the credential.

FAQ

My node only shows an SSE endpoint field

Update n8n; older MCP Client tool nodes predate Streamable HTTP. The MCP Client (step) node has the transport selector in all recent versions.
