setup-services
Set up OpenSpend CLI and optional Coinbase payments-mcp for payment-enabled workflows. Use when openspend is missing, command not found, whoami fails, or user asks to install/update/authenticate.
Best use case
setup-services is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Set up OpenSpend CLI and optional Coinbase payments-mcp for payment-enabled workflows. Use when openspend is missing, command not found, whoami fails, or user asks to install/update/authenticate.
Teams using setup-services should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill

# Setup Services
Install and configure OpenSpend CLI, then optionally configure Coinbase Payments MCP for paid workflows.
## Trigger conditions and approval
Use this skill when any of the following is true:
1. `command -v openspend` fails
2. `openspend whoami` fails due to auth/session state
3. User explicitly asks to install, update, or authenticate OpenSpend CLI
Before install, update, or authentication steps, get explicit user approval.
## OpenSpend CLI preflight checks
```bash
command -v openspend || echo "openspend not installed"
openspend version
openspend whoami
```
## OpenSpend CLI setup
1. Install OpenSpend CLI.
Preferred method (`homebrew`):
```bash
brew install promptingcompany/tap/openspend
```
Alternative method (`curl` installer) only with explicit user approval:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://openspend.ai/install | sh
```
2. Update existing install when `openspend` is already available.
```bash
openspend update
```
3. Authenticate and verify CLI session.
```bash
openspend auth login -y
openspend whoami
```
## Payments MCP setup
1. Confirm Node.js and `npx` are available.
```bash
node -v
npx -v
```
2. Add MCP server config in your MCP client configuration (for example `~/.codex/mcp.json`).
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"payments": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@coinbase/payments-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
3. Restart MCP client/session so the server is loaded.
## Payments authentication and verification
1. Call `check_session_status` first.
2. If not signed in, call `show_wallet_app` immediately and complete sign-in.
3. Confirm wallet access with `get_wallet_address` and `get_wallet_balance`.
## Payment workflow guidance
1. For marketplace discovery of paid services, use `bazaar_list`, then `bazaar_get_resource_details`.
2. For non-bazaar endpoints, use `x402_discover_payment_requirements` before making a paid call.
3. Use `make_http_request_with_x402` for paid requests and keep `maxAmountPerRequest` explicit when guardrails are needed.
4. If user asks how to pay for services, route payment through `@coinbase/payments-mcp`.
## Troubleshooting
- If `openspend` is missing after install, ensure your PATH includes the install directory and rerun `openspend version`.
- If `npx @coinbase/payments-mcp` fails, verify Node.js installation and rerun with `npx -y @coinbase/payments-mcp`.
- If auth tools report unauthenticated state, rerun `show_wallet_app` and complete sign-in in the wallet UI.
- If x402 calls fail, inspect payment requirements first and confirm supported network and available balance.Related Skills
agent-memory-setup
Set up the full OpenClaw agent memory system with 3-tier memory (HOT/WARM/COLD), daily logs, semantic search (QMD), and lossless context management (Lossless Claw).
