Sign in
Go to agentic.anchorage.com, choose
Sign in, and use your org’s SSO or the account your admin set up for
you. Your first sign-in lands you on the organization picker, which lists
every organization you can enter: accept a pending invitation, or join an
organization that is open to your email domain. Once you belong to one,
signing in takes you straight there.An organization is open to your email domain when it admits anyone with an
address at that domain. If one matches an address you have verified and
you are not a member, it appears under Organizations you can join, with
a Join button. You join at the standard member role, so accept an
invitation instead when someone invited you as an admin. Look for it on the
organization picker when you have no organization yet, and on Settings
once you do — an organization that opens up after your first sign-in shows
up there without your having to sign in again.An organization is ready to use from
the moment Anchorage creates it, so there is no activation step between
your invitation and your first sign-in. If an organization’s setup did not
finish, that invitation admits you once Anchorage completes the setup, or
sooner if another of your invitations or memberships already points
somewhere active; until then it waits on your pending invitations marked
Setup incomplete.

Connect an MCP client
Point any MCP-capable agent at Anchorage Agentic Banking. The MCP endpoint
and OAuth consent are linked from the Agents page in the web UI.See Connect an agent for tested clients and
per-client setup.
3
Let the agent introduce itself
Once connected, your agent introspects its own identity on its first turn:
name, linked account, and the budgets it can spend against —
everything it needs to start paying.
4
Spend
Ask the agent to fetch a paid URL. The agent pays the URL using its
standing budget. Anchorage Agentic Banking checks the budget and the
merchant allowlist, settles the payment, and returns the merchant’s
response to the agent — which returns it to you.For card purchases, the agent requests a purchase and you passkey-approve
the spend on a browser approval page.
