Can I send a physical check through the agent?

Yes! Use the `send_physical_check` tool. Provide the recipient's name, email, and amount. Checkbook.io will print and mail a physical check to the recipient.

How do I check if a check has been deposited?

Use the `get_check_details` tool with the unique check ID. Your agent will fetch the current status (e.g., IN_PROCESS, PAID, VOID).

Where do I find my Checkbook API Key and Secret?

Log in to your Checkbook.io account and navigate to **Settings -> Developer**. You can generate and copy your API Key and Secret from that section.

Common questions about integrating Checkbook.io 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 Checkbook.io tools during their conversation turns.
