How to Use the Authorize.net MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK handle partial captures of holds on Authorize.net?

Yes, the SDK triggers priorauthcapture to claim a specific amount from an existing hold. You pass the original transaction ID to lock in the final invoice amount after shipping physical goods.

Q: How does the Authorize.net MCP Server manage unsettled transactions?

It uses the getunsettledtransactions tool to query the gateway for pending batches. Your Vercel AI SDK application can stream this list from the MCP Server to an admin panel for quick reconciliation before the nightly close.

Q: Can I securely add credit cards to profiles on Authorize.net using Vercel AI SDK?

You use the addpaymentprofile tool to bind new cards to an established CIM profile. The SDK handles the payload transmission directly to Authorize.net, keeping sensitive card numbers out of your local application state.

Charge cards and update CIM profiles in real-time as your Next.js UI streams responses using the Vercel AI SDK.

Live Card Authorizations via Vercel AI SDK

Running the `auth_capture_transaction` tool executes immediate card charges while your frontend renders the receipt line-by-line. By bypassing traditional API polling, your application displays transaction outcomes the millisecond Authorize.net responds. You implement this by feeding the tools from your MCP client directly into `streamText`. This setup cuts down loading spinners and keeps customers on the page during checkout.

Direct CIM Customer Profile Creation

To register new buyers, use the `create_customer_profile` tool to build secure customer records in Authorize.net without raw data hitting your servers. Your UI receives confirmation tokens through this MCP connection, letting users save payment methods instantly. Because Vercel AI SDK runs on edge infrastructure, these calls execute with minimal latency. The client application stays lightweight since the server manages the heavy cryptographic handshakes.

Real-Time Refund Processing and Voids

Reversing settled charges is handled by the `refund_transaction` tool, which matches original transaction IDs and masked payment details. If a charge is still pending batch settlement, the `void_transaction` tool cancels it before settlement occurs. Your edge functions trigger these tools dynamically based on user chat prompts, updating the UI state immediately. This approach keeps your support dashboard fast and responsive under high transaction volumes.

Setup guide

Set up Authorize.net MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all Authorize.net tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent Authorize.net transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
