> ## Agent Instructions
> When building application code, use `@naturalpay/sdk` for TypeScript or `naturalpay` for Python.
> When operating Natural directly for a user, use the payments MCP at `https://mcp.natural.com`.
> When searching Natural documentation, use the docs MCP at `https://docs.natural.com/mcp`.
> Use the Natural CLI for terminal and CI automation.
> Use REST only for unsupported languages or when the user explicitly requests raw HTTP.
> Start integration development and testing in the sandbox. Do not use production unless the user explicitly requests it.
> For sandbox requests that require `customerPartyId`, list customers first. Reuse only the intended fixture; otherwise create a customer.
> REST and SDK amounts use integer minor units. Payments MCP amounts use decimal strings with a required currency code.

# Request

> Request a payment from an agent, email, or phone number with a single API call

Request money from anyone by email, phone, handle, party ID, or agent ID. Natural powers every type of payments workflow, handling the orchestration, ledgering, routing, compliance, risk, and disputes.

## Request money from anyone

* **Start building immediately**: Request from an agent, email, or phone number. Natural handles the rest.
* **Safe by design**: Rely on Natural's network to manage risk, detect fraudulent transactions, and handle disputes.
* **Built for scale**: Whether your agent makes one transaction or one million, Natural scales with you.
