Perplexity

Enforce KYC standards across the whole team.

Configure `verify_card_kyc` in the shared `.vscode/mcp.json` so every developer uses the same verification logic. This ensures all new features adhere to strict identity checks. Running this through Copilot Chat guarantees that any code generated by the AI includes the necessary authentication steps for UnionPay Open Platform.

Manage secure checkout with MCP Server tools.

The team can commit `init_secure_payment` to the repository, making it available globally. Every developer gets immediate access to start online payment sessions. If a transaction is pending, use `get_qr_transaction_status`. This centralized configuration prevents developers from forgetting crucial status checks.

Control card tokens and risk assessment.

The team can standardize token management by including both `request_card_token` and `cancel_card_token` in the shared config. This provides a clear, single source of truth for payment lifecycle methods. Always combine this with `check_card_risk_status`. It's non-negotiable for team security standards.
