Perplexity

Team-wide Authorize.net access

Commit your server config to .vscode/mcp.json so every dev has the same tools. Everyone uses `auth_only_transaction` with the same settings. This keeps your team aligned on how payments are handled. It removes the need for individual setup.

Automated gateway record management

Use `add_payment_profile` to handle user data consistently across your staging environment. The team can rely on identical gateway interaction patterns. This makes testing new features faster. Everyone hits the same endpoint.

Monitor transactions in VS Code

Use `get_transaction_details` to inspect live data during code reviews. It provides clear evidence of how your code behaves with the gateway. If a refund is needed, `refund_transaction` works from any team member's machine. The audit trail remains clear.
