Generate checkout tokens using Claude Code

This MCP Server lets you run `create_order_token` to spin up checkout sessions without clicking through a web dashboard. Claude Code executes the request and pipes the token directly into your local shell environment. You can use this to quickly test API responses or generate test checkouts during local development. The CLI agent handles the request and returns the raw output so you can pipe it to other command-line utilities.

Run headless payment audits with Claude Code

Run fast audits of your recent sales by letting the agent run `list_transactions` to fetch your payment history. You can then use `get_transaction` to inspect specific high-value charges. Since Claude Code lives in the terminal, you can ask it to parse the transaction list, find settled charges, and output a clean CSV file. It does the data processing locally and saves the file directly to your workspace.

Void and refund charges via command line

Cancel accidental orders or handle returns by telling the agent to run `void_transaction` on pending authorizations. It can also call `refund_transaction` to return settled funds. This makes handling support tickets incredibly fast. You paste the transaction ID into your terminal, and the agent checks the details using `get_order_details` before executing the refund.
