Frequently asked questions about the GoCardless MCP Server

How do I find my Access Token?

Log in to your GoCardless dashboard, navigate to Developers > Create > Access Token, and generate a token with the required permissions.

Can I collect a payment in a different currency?

Yes! The collect_payment tool accepts a currency parameter (e.g., GBP, EUR, USD). Ensure the customer's mandate supports the requested currency.

What happens if I try to cancel a payment that was already submitted?

If a payment has already been submitted to the banking system, the stop_pending_payment tool will return an error as the transaction can no longer be halted.
