About ClearBank MCP Server
The ClearBank MCP Server wraps incredibly defensive digital signatures (RSA-SHA256 PEM) autonomously underneath a native Language Model Chat interface. Meaning, your AI has programmatic limits to fire secure European and British payment rails on command natively.
Google ADK natively supports ClearBank as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 8 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
Core Functionality
- Virtual Account Provisioning — Manage deeply nested multi-layered B2B structures. Automatically provision Sort-Code ledgers via
clearbank_create_account. - Payment Initiation (FPS & CHAPS) — Run automated payroll or contractor compensation using direct clearing paths via
clearbank_create_faster_payment. - Algorithmic Tracing — Check real-time payment states organically utilizing
clearbank_get_payment_status.
Use Cases
- Baas Platforms — Direct integration validating funds exactly when needed under FPS limits.
- Treasury Automation — Have the Agent review your high-volume clearing state.
The ClearBank MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
