 # Agents That Transact — Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments
 
-Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments is a fully managed service that enables microtransaction payments in AI agents to access paid APIs, MCP servers, and content. AI agents increasingly handle complex tasks by calling APIs, accessing MCP servers, and interacting with other agents. As more services monetize through pay-per-use models, developers face challenges integrating payments into agentic workflows. Transactions are typically microtransactions (often under $1 or fractions of a cent), making traditional payment methods cost-prohibitive due to high minimum transaction fees. Meanwhile, content providers and publishers are introducing paywalls for AI agents to access their content. AgentCore payments provides a suite of developer-friendly capabilities that help you develop solutions to enable secure, instant payments to paid services using stablecoin, open protocols like x402 for cost-effective microtransactions, and configurable guardrails to help control agent spending. This can reduce developer effort from months to days.
