Can I automatically refund payments without ever navigating to the Clip website?

Yes. The `refund_transaction` interface executes server-side cryptographic voiding. Pass the definitive transaction ID alongside an optional amount override, and the refund logic routes directly through Clip's banking partners unconditionally.

Are the payment links generated permanent or do they have expiration windows?

By default, Payment links created via this endpoint remain actively valid until either paid successfully or explicitly halted. You can seamlessly use the `cancel_payment_link` tool to kill rogue links manually blocking external vulnerability loopholes.

Can the agent check if physical POS terminals are active and connected to my account?

Yes. The `list_terminals` endpoint fetches the fleet array directly from Clip servers. It outputs device IDs mapped to your registry ensuring no unauthorized POS physical readers are leeching payments stealthily.

Clip API + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Clip API MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system — it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
