Introduction
Introduction
Zanora is the commerce layer for AI agents. Sellers make an API or MCP tool payable per call. Buyers' agents find it and pay from their own wallets, within spending rules a person sets.
An AI agent that needs OCR, a data lookup or a model call usually hits a signup form, a credit card field and an API key it has to be given. Zanora removes those steps. A seller puts a price on an HTTP endpoint or MCP tool. A buyer's agent finds it, pays for one call from its own wallet and gets the answer back with a signed receipt. Money moves only when the call succeeds, and only within the limits the buyer's organisation set.

How to read these docs
Each tab is written for one reader. Buyers and Sellers each start with an overview and a quickstart, then take setup and usage in the order you'll do them. Get started covers ideas that apply to both. API reference lists every route a buyer or seller can call. Every page has a Markdown version: add .md to the URL, or use Copy page.
