AgentBureau - The Notary for the agentic age

# AgentBureau: The Notary for the agentic age Website: https://agentbureau.de/ Github: https://github.com/JustinGuese/AgentBureau-402-embodiment-as-a-service AgentBureau provides the legal and physical infrastructure for AI agents to operate within the German jurisdiction. We bridge the gap between digital intelligence and real-world action by providing "Embodiment-as-a-Service." Through our API, agents can perform legally binding actions—like sending faxes, mailing physical letters, issuing invoices, forming entire companies (GmbH/UG), handling tax compliance, and opening corporate bank accounts—without needing a bank account, a physical address, or a human identity. ## The Core Mechanism: x402 Payment Gating AgentBureau uses the **x402 protocol**, an agent-native authentication method where **payment is authentication**. 1. **No API Keys**: Agents don't need to manage secrets or create accounts. 2. **Permissionless**: Settlement happens on-chain (USDC on Base L2). 3. **Machine-Readable**: Every request returns structured metadata for autonomous handling of 402 "Payment Required" challenges. --- ## Available Services | Service | Tool Name | Price (USDC) | Delivery Method | | :------------------- | :-------------------- | :----------- | :------------------- | | **Digital Invoice** | `send_german_invoice` | 5.00 | via Lexoffice | | **Physical Letter** | `send_letter` | 3.00 | via Pingen (Germany) | | **Programmatic Fax** | `send_fax` | 1.00 | via Telnyx | | **GmbH Formation** | `form_german_company` | 3,000.00\* | HITL Concierge | | **UG Formation** | `form_german_company` | 1,500.00\* | HITL Concierge | | **Bank Account** | `open_bank_account` | 500.00 | FinTech Integration | | **VAT Registration** | `register_vat` | 500.00 | Tax Portal Sync | | **VAT Return** | `submit_vat_return` | 100.00 | Monthly/Quarterly | | **Annual Filing** | `create_annual_filing`| 200.00 | Bundesanzeiger | | **Debt Collection** | `collect_debt` | 50.00 | Inkasso Automation | | **EU Presence** | `eu_presence_bundle` | 5,000.00 | Full Legal Shield | _\*Formation fees exclude the required share capital (Stammkapital), which is handled via a secure escrow workflow._ --- ## Runnable Code Examples We provide a comprehensive 6×4 matrix of runnable scripts demonstrating how to integrate AgentBureau services across various languages and frameworks. These examples handle the full x402 flow: **Challenge → Payment → Retry**. ### Integration Matrix | Client / Language | Fax | Letter | Invoice | GmbH | | :-------------------- | :------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------: | | **cURL / Bash** | [fax.sh](./examples/curl/fax.sh) | [letter.sh](./examples/curl/letter.sh) | [invoice.sh](./examples/curl/invoice.sh) | [gmbh.sh](./examples/curl/gmbh.sh) | | **Python (httpx)** | [fax.py](./examples/python/fax.py) | [letter.py](./examples/python/letter.py) | [invoice.py](./examples/python/invoice.py) | [gmbh.py](./examples/python/gmbh.py) | | **TypeScript (viem)** | [fax.ts](./examples/typescript/fax.ts) | [letter.ts](./examples/typescript/letter.ts) | [invoice.ts](./examples/typescript/invoice.ts) | [gmbh.ts](./examples/typescript/gmbh.ts) | | **LangChain** | [fax.py](./examples/langchain/fax.py) | [letter.py](./examples/langchain/letter.py) | [invoice.py](./examples/langchain/invoice.py) | [gmbh.py](./examples/langchain/gmbh.py) | | **Claude Tool Use** | [fax.py](./examples/claude-tool-use/fax.py) | [letter.py](./examples/claude-tool-use/letter.py) | [invoice.py](./examples/claude-tool-use/invoice.py) | [gmbh.py](./examples/claude-tool-use/gmbh.py) | | **OpenAI Responses** | [fax.py](./examples/openai-responses/fax.py) | [letter.py](./examples/openai-responses/letter.py) | [invoice.py](./examples/openai-responses/invoice.py) | [gmbh.py](./examples/openai-responses/gmbh.py) | ### How to Run the Examples 1. **Navigate to the examples directory**: ```bash cd examples ``` 2. **Configure your environment**: ```bash cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your PRIVATE_KEY (Base network) and RPC_URL ``` 3. **Install and Run**: - **Python**: `pip install -r <folder>/requirements.txt && python <folder>/<file>.py` - **TypeScript**: `cd typescript && npm install && npx ts-node <file>.ts` - **Shell**: `bash curl/<file>.sh` --- ## MCP Integration AgentBureau is **MCP Native**, served over **Streamable HTTP** at `https://agentbureau-api.datafortress.cloud/mcp`. There are three ways to connect: **1. Smithery Gateway (one-click for Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / Windsurf)** Install from the [Smithery listing](https://smithery.ai/server/@guese-justin/agentbureau) — Smithery proxies through `agentbureau--guese-justin.run.tools` and handles transport negotiation for clients that don't yet speak Streamable HTTP natively. **2. Direct connection (clients that support remote MCP)** ```json { "mcpServers": { "agentbureau": { "url": "https://agentbureau-api.datafortress.cloud/mcp" } } } ``` **3. `mcp-remote` bridge (older clients)** ```json { "mcpServers": { "agentbureau": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://agentbureau-api.datafortress.cloud/mcp"] } } } ``` Authentication is per-call via the **x402 payment protocol** (USDC on Base) — no API key required. --- ## Website Development This repository contains the source code for the [agentbureau.de](https://agentbureau.de) website and documentation. ### Tech Stack - **Framework**: Astro 5 (Starlight for docs) - **Styling**: Tailwind CSS v4 - **Interactive Islands**: React ### Getting Started 1. **Install dependencies**: ```bash npm install ``` 2. **Start development server**: ```bash npm run dev ``` 3. **Build for production**: ```bash npm run build ``` ## Documentation Full documentation, including legal frameworks (ZAG exemption, Störerhaftung), detailed API references, and agent-specific integration guides, is available at [/docs](https://agentbureau.de/docs). --- ## Marketing & Community AgentBureau is being integrated into the following agentic registries and hubs: - **MCP Registries**: [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/), [Glama](https://glama.ai/mcp), [Awesome-MCP](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp) - **Agent Ecosystems**: [LangChain Hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub), [CrewAI Tools](https://docs.crewai.com/core-concepts/Tools/) - **Agentic Economy**: [Coinbase Developer Platform](https://www.coinbase.com/developer-platform), [Base Ecosystem](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/base)
