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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Authorize.net tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your 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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
