Perplexity

Control physical retail terminals from Claude Code

`list_terminals` retrieves all card readers bound to your Colombian merchant account directly inside your terminal. Claude Code can pipe this list into shell scripts, allowing you to monitor hardware connectivity status across physical stores. When a customer stands at the register, you can trigger a charge using `initiate_terminal_payment` with the exact COP amount. This bypasses the need for a bloated POS software interface.

Generate COP payment links via Claude Code MCP Server

`create_payment_link` lets you generate shareable checkout URLs directly from your command line. Claude Code can automate bulk link creation for outstanding invoices, pairing the tool with local CSV files containing customer records. You can quickly verify the status of any link using `get_payment_link`. This makes it easy to build fast shell scripts that check which invoices remain unpaid.

Manage payment webhooks from your terminal

`create_webhook` registers new HTTP endpoints to receive real-time updates on transaction states. Claude Code helps you maintain these integrations by running `list_webhooks` to audit active endpoints. If you need to rotate servers or update endpoints, you can delete old configurations instantly using `delete_webhook`. This keeps your payment architecture clean and secure without touching a web GUI.
