Layer3x is the only MCP-native execution firewall for Claude agents. Connect it as a native tool — no SDK, no integration code required.

Connect to Claude.ai

Step 1 — Open Claude Settings Go to [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) → Settings → Connectors Step 2 — Add custom connector Click the + button in the top right of the Connectors panel Step 3 — Enter your details
  • Name: Layer3x
  • URL: https://api.layer3x.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY
Replace YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY with the key from your Agents page. Step 4 — Click Add Claude will handshake with Layer3x and discover the authorize_payment tool automatically.

What Claude can now do

Once connected, Claude has access to the authorize_payment tool. When your agent attempts a payment action, Claude calls Layer3x automatically before executing. Example: User: “Release the $6,200 payment to TechVendor Inc” Claude calls authorize_payment → Layer3x evaluates → Returns ESCALATED Claude responds: “This payment requires human approval. A request has been logged in your Layer3x dashboard.”

Example: payments.release amount (number, required) — Payment amount in USD. vendor (string, required) — Destination vendor name. currency (string, optional) — Currency code.
