Rails
“Rails” here means the shared plumbing that agent access runs on, separate from any single provider.
| Rail | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Remote MCP with OAuth | Hosted MCP servers, OAuth discovery metadata, client registration |
| Local MCP servers and CLIs | Servers and CLIs you run yourself with API keys |
| Agent payments | Card-network agent programs, payment tokens, HTTP 402 payments. One page per program in Payments |
| Agent identity | Signing agent traffic so sites can tell which agent is calling |
| Mandates and data access | Proof of what a user authorized, and the rules on sharing financial data |
These pages are starter overviews built from batch 1. Each claim is cited; depth will grow with later source batches.
