# Mollie: L1 · Needs a person

As of 12 Oct 2026, an AI agent can't use Mollie on its own: reCAPTCHA picture puzzle on sign-up.

Needs a person to open an account before any work starts. Sign-up stopped at a reCAPTCHA puzzle: the form rejected our agent's browser as odd, then asked it to solve an image challenge, so no checkpoint past it could run. Docs are strong: llms.txt, markdown pages, an Agent Skills index, OpenAPI on GitHub, and an official MCP server with OAuth, but keys come only from the Web App, with no device flow. No call, payment or cancel was reached: pricing is per transaction with nothing to buy to start, and no account existed to delete.

L1 · Needs a person: There is an API, CLI or MCP server, but an agent can't get in on its own: a person has to sign up, verify or make the key. What it does once a person sets it up shows next to the level.

## Checkpoints

- **Docs**: Headless: llms.txt, .md pages, Accept: text/markdown negotiation, Agent Skills index, OpenAPI 3.1.0 on GitHub (mollie/openapi).
- **Sign up**: Needs a human: Web form only. The invisible reCAPTCHA rejected our agent's browser ('Our system detected something odd, please click here to help us double-check.'), then a reCAPTCHA image puzzle.
- **Verify**: Not reached: Not reached: sign-up stopped at the reCAPTCHA puzzle.
- **Key**: Not reached: Not reached. Docs: API keys and access tokens are created only in the Web App; OAuth needs user consent; no device flow.
- **First call**: Not reached: No credential. Unauthenticated call: 400 hal+json 'Invalid Authorization header' with a docs link.
- **First action**: Not reached: Not reached.
- **Pay**: Not reached: Online payments: 'Pay per transaction only', 'No monthly fee': nothing to buy to start. No 402 on api.mollie.com, no x402/mpp/agents subdomains, /.well-known/ucp 404. We paid nothing. Terminal subscriptions (€20/mo per extra terminal) are ordered from an account, not reached.
- **Cancel**: Not reached: not tested: no plan or trial was started. The only recurring item seen is the terminal subscription, ordered inside an account (not reached); since a recurring item exists but was never reached, this is not tested rather than n/a.
- **Delete**: Not reached: No account was created (sign-up stopped at reCAPTCHA), so there was nothing to delete.

## Does Mollie have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it?

Yes. Mollie has an official MCP server. The server signs an agent in with OAuth.

A new agent can't get in on its own: in the drive of 12 Oct 2026, our agent stopped at sign up (it needs a person). Through the MCP server, 0 of our agent's 1 attempt worked.

## How does an AI agent get a Mollie API key?

Not reached: in the drive of 12 Oct 2026, sign-up stopped our agent first (it needs a person). Not reached. Docs: API keys and access tokens are created only in the Web App; OAuth needs user consent; no device flow.

## Paying the agent way

No plan to buy.

Ways to pay checked 12 Oct 2026.

## What an agent can do

- Read all of Mollie's docs as markdown (llms.txt, .md URLs, Accept: text/markdown)
- Discover the MCP server's OAuth setup (Protected Resource Metadata, CIMD) without an account

## What it cannot do

- Create a Mollie account: A reCAPTCHA check on the sign-up form rejects an automated browser and shows a picture puzzle
- Get an API key headless: Keys are created only in the Web App; no device flow or agent sign-up

## Tips for the owner

1. Let verified agents through sign-up
2. Issue a test key without the Web App
3. Publish an MCP server card

## Tips for agent builders

- Have a human create the account and a test_ API key; then use the REST API (OpenAPI 3.1.0) or the MCP server (OAuth, CIMD).
- Read docs as markdown: append .md or send Accept: text/markdown; start at docs.mollie.com/llms.txt.
