Frequently asked questions about the GoCardless MCP Server
How do I get an Access Token for GoCardless?
Log in to your GoCardless dashboard, navigate to Developers > Access Tokens, and you can generate a new token for either Sandbox or Live use there.
What is a 'Mandate' in GoCardless?
A mandate is an authorization from your customer that allows you to collect payments from their bank account automatically in the future.
In what units should I provide the payment amount?
The API uses minor units for currency. For example, to collect $1.00 USD (or £1.00 GBP), you must provide the value 100 (cents/pence).

Yes! Use the 'sandbox' environment by setting the 'Environment' credential and providing a Sandbox Access Token from your GoCardless account.
