About Authorize.net MCP Server
Connect your Authorize.net merchant gateway to any AI agent to power conversational commerce. Command precise payment logic, track settlements, and manage Customer Information Manager (CIM) profiles effortlessly.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Authorize.net into an in-editor superpower.

What you can do
- Payment Processing — Run strict "Auth & Capture" to process real funds instantly, or perform "Auth Only" to hold funds legitimately before shipping
- Refunds & Voids — Initiate refunds on previously settled transactions or Void anomalies residing in your pending batches cleanly
- Vault & CIM Profiles — Securely construct isolated Customer Information Profiles linking sensitive card data without exposing raw PANs to unencrypted bounds
- Auditing & Settlements — Query distinct details of a single transaction ID or map an overarching list of today's unsettled nightly batch runs
