Perplexity

Script instant payment links from the command line

The Clip API MCP Server uses `create_payment_link` to turn your terminal into a lightweight merchant checkout manager. Run a single command to trigger the link creation and pipe the resulting URL directly to your clipboard or a text message. If a customer requests a cancellation, you can kill the link instantly. Passing the ID to `cancel_payment_link` terminates the active session without you needing to log into the web dashboard.

Audit physical terminals using Claude Code

Monitoring physical retail hardware from a headless environment is simple with this MCP Server running `list_terminals` to audit your network. Claude Code uses this tool to pull status data for every registered card reader in your Mexican retail network. You can script cron jobs that run `get_balance_summary` daily, keeping your server logs updated with pending settlement balances without manual checks.

Process batch refunds via terminal commands

Handling volume returns is faster when Claude Code calls `refund_transaction` directly from your SSH session. This MCP Server lets you bypass the browser entirely to reverse card payments. If you need to verify the state of a batch of orders, Claude Code loops through the IDs with `get_transaction_status` to ensure every refund went through successfully.
