Can I process a refund through the agent?

Yes! Use the `refund_chargedesk_payment` tool with the charge ID. You can also specify an optional amount for a partial refund. The agent will trigger the refund on the original gateway.

How do I see all payments from a specific customer?

Use the `get_customer_details` tool with the unique customer ID. Your agent will fetch the profile, which includes a list of all successful and failed charges.

Where do I find my ChargeDesk Secret Key?

Log in to your ChargeDesk account and go to **Account Settings -> API**. You can view and copy your Secret Key from there.

ChargeDesk + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating ChargeDesk MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call ChargeDesk tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
