Issue refunds and void charges directly in Claude Desktop

Stop bouncing to your Bolt merchant dashboard when a customer support ticket hits your queue. Simply ask Claude Desktop to inspect a payment using `get_transaction` and trigger a partial or full refund with `refund_transaction` on the spot. If a customer changes their mind before the charge clears, your agent can run `void_transaction` to cancel the hold instantly. You handle the entire Bolt billing dispute without leaving your Claude Desktop chat window.

Generate checkout tokens with this MCP Server

Testing your Bolt checkout flow becomes a lot faster when you configure this MCP Server in your local `claude_desktop_config.json` file. You can ask Claude to spit out a fresh session token via `create_order_token` and build a live checkout link in your desktop workspace. Because the desktop app runs tools locally, Claude can pull the exact parameters from your local test environment to populate the Bolt order details. This lets you debug Bolt checkout scripts without manually copying API keys or payload data inside Claude.

Monitor transaction logs and webhooks in real time

Keep tabs on your Bolt checkout health by asking Claude Desktop to list recent activity. Claude Desktop uses `list_transactions` to fetch your latest volume and calls `get_merchant_status` to verify your gateway connection is active. When you need to debug payment notifications, have Claude run `list_webhooks` to verify your endpoints. You get a clean list of your active Bolt listeners right in the Claude Desktop sidebar.

Common questions about Bolt MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your `claude_desktop_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Restart Claude Desktop, and you will see the hammer icon indicating the Bolt tools are ready to use.

Yes. You just need to edit the local configuration file in your respective AppData or Library directory. Once configured, Claude can run tools like `get_account_details` on either operating system.

When you run `get_order_details` through Claude Desktop, the server returns the currency and amount formatting exactly as stored in your Bolt ledger. Claude displays this native currency data directly in your chat UI.

No, you do not. While developers love the local config, anyone can paste the server URL into the claude.ai integrations page to start running `list_transactions` without writing code.

Your transaction and order information remains safe because Claude Desktop only transmits references through the Vinkius gateway. The server processes payment IDs and checkout tokens in an isolated sandbox, meaning raw financial inputs never touch Claude's training models.
