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.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Authorize.net data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
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
The Authorize.net MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
