Process payments with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent needs to charge cards. You give it access to `create_transaction`, and it handles the authCaptureTransaction flow directly from your Python code. Instead of writing custom API wrappers, the SDK discovers this tool automatically. The agent validates the payment parameters against your safety constraints before executing the charge.

Handle voids and refunds safely

Mistakes happen, and customers ask for money back. When they do, your agent uses `void_transaction` for unsettled charges or `refund_transaction` for settled ones. Built-in guardrails ensure the agent does not issue duplicate refunds. You can trace every refund decision straight through the OpenAI dashboard to see exactly why it triggered the action.

Pull Authorize.net MCP Server batch data

Reconciling end-of-day numbers is tedious work. Your agent pulls `get_settled_batch_list` and iterates through `get_transaction_list` to build your daily report. It can also check `get_customer_profile` to match payments to specific users. All of this runs through an async context manager, keeping your production system fast.

Setup guide

Set up Authorize.net MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Authorize.net tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Authorize.net tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Authorize.net tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Authorize.net Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Authorize.net tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Authorize.net MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the openai-agents package. Create an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance with your endpoint URL and pass it to the Agent constructor. The SDK auto-discovers all ten payment tools instantly.

Your agent gets full access to transactions and customer profiles. It can execute create_transaction, void charges, refund settled payments, and pull batch statistics.

Yes. The SDK lets you define strict guardrails before any action executes. You can require human approval or set logic checks before the agent calls the refund tool.

Yes, you can set cacheToolsList=True during setup. This skips the discovery phase on subsequent runs and speeds up your agent's response time.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an ephemeral V8 Isolate sandbox. Your customer profiles and transaction details never persist in our infrastructure. The agent receives the data directly, processes it, and the sandbox dies.
