Reviewer Notes

Increase has solid agent tooling with a well-documented OpenAPI spec and sandbox environment for testing, making integration straightforward for developers. However, account creation requires human verification (KYC/compliance), which blocks autonomous agent signup. The lack of an MCP server and llms.txt further limits discoverability. Pricing is usage-based with a free tier, but the compliance-heavy onboarding creates friction for agents attempting independent activation.
