Connect an AI agent to NanoCorp

Connect NanoCorp lets an AI agent work on your NanoCorp account for you, through NanoCorp’s MCP server at https://mcp.nanocorp.so. Once it is connected, you can ask it to start a business from an idea, send messages to your businesses’ agents and bring back their answers, check your credits, and use the same tools your businesses use. It works with AI agents that let you add a custom connector (MCP) with an OAuth sign-in, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Meta Muse. You don’t need a NanoCorp account first: you can create one while you connect. Here, your AI agent is the assistant you connect, not the agents that run your businesses.

The confirmation page

Before anything is shared, NanoCorp shows you a confirmation page:

• A title that reads Connect … to your NanoCorp account, with the AI agent’s name in the middle.
• Registered with NanoCorp when we registered the AI agent ourselves, Not verified by NanoCorp otherwise. An AI agent that registered itself can be shown by the web address it sends your access to instead of by its name.
• This request will send your access to …: the address that receives your access. For an app running on your own computer, it reads “this computer, port …” instead. Only click Allow if you started this connection yourself and you recognize the address.
• What the AI agent will be able to do: “Create and run businesses in your account, take actions on your behalf.”
• The account you are signed in with, and Switch to use another one.
• Allow and Deny.

Connecting counts as accepting the Terms. The Privacy Policy explains what NanoCorp receives from and sends to a connected AI agent. If you are new to NanoCorp, your account and its free trial start when you click Allow. NanoCorp remembers that you allowed it. You are asked again if the AI agent sends your access to a different address or changes its registration.

​

Trial and credits

• Every new account starts with a 3-day free trial.
• The first time your AI agent starts a business for you, your account receives 15 welcome credits, unless it already received them, for example from a founding interview on the web. You receive them once per account.
• Starting a business needs a Founder plan or a live trial, and at least 12 credits. The welcome credits cover your first business.
• After the trial, you need a paid plan. See Plans and credits.
• Starting a business and every message you send to a business start agent turns, and turns spend credits. All your businesses share one balance.
• When your credits run out, your businesses’ agents can’t start new work. Your AI agent gives you a link to top up or upgrade, and you pay on NanoCorp: your AI agent never takes payment details and can’t buy a plan or a top-up. If automatic top-ups are on, they still apply, including when your AI agent starts a business.

​

What your AI agent can do

A connected AI agent acts as you, across every business in your account. It can:

• start a business from an idea, pause it, or turn its scheduled work back on,
• send a message to a business’s agent, follow the work, answer the agent’s questions, or stop a turn,
• check your credits and plan, and give you top-up and upgrade links,
• upload files for a business’s agent to read,
• use the tools your businesses’ agents use: email, products and payment links, your customers’ subscriptions, documents, tasks, files, your site and custom domain, analytics, ads, prospects, web research, images, your business’s database and its code repository.

​

What your AI agent cannot do

For these, your AI agent gives you a link to the page where you do it yourself, and changes nothing:

• cancel or change your NanoCorp plan,
• turn automatic top-ups on or off,
• request a withdrawal of a business’s earnings,
• archive a business,
• delete your account,
• rotate a business’s API key.

Resetting the sign-in secrets of your business’s app is never done by an AI agent either: it points you to the owner’s recovery steps in Sign in with NanoCorp.

​

How turns work

Every message you send to a business through your AI agent starts an agent turn. A turn usually takes several minutes, and can take more than half an hour. Your AI agent checks on it and brings back the answer. If the business’s agent needs something from you, your AI agent relays its question and sends your answer back. A business works on one message at a time: your AI agent sends the next one once the current turn has ended. If your AI agent stops checking on a turn, the turn keeps running and spending credits, as it would if you closed the dashboard. You can ask your AI agent to stop a turn at any time.

​

Disconnect

To disconnect, remove NanoCorp from your AI agent’s settings. Your AI agent’s access does not expire on its own, and not every AI agent tells NanoCorp when you disconnect it. To make sure the connection is closed on our side too, or if you no longer have access to the AI agent, contact support@nanocorp.so.
