# Installing Lobster Cash

<!-- skill_version: 0.0.16 -->

This document explains how to install the lobstercash skill.

Lobster Cash gives AI agents payment capabilities with human-in-the-loop approval. It supports requesting permission to use a card, powered by Visa Intelligent Commerce and Mastercard Agent Pay, as well as using a blockchain wallet to purchase endpoints via x402.

To install lobstercash, you'll need to install a Skill using the skills command, along with a CLI tool called lobstercash.

Before proceeding, confirm with the user that they're okay installing both the skill and the lobstercash CLI.

## Install

**OpenClaw agents:** install from [clawhub.ai/crossmint/lobstercash](https://clawhub.ai/crossmint/lobstercash).

**Other agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):**

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/Crossmint/lobstercash-cli-skills --global
```

### Migrating from the old OpenClaw plugin

If the user has the old `lobstercash` _plugin_ installed, replace it with the _skill_ — same publisher (`crossmint`), same capabilities. Tell the user what you're about to do, then:

1. `openclaw plugin remove lobstercash`
2. Install from [clawhub.ai/crossmint/lobstercash](https://clawhub.ai/crossmint/lobstercash).

## Updating

Re-run the install command, or `openclaw skill update lobstercash` for OpenClaw. The skill will also prompt you when a new version is available.
