What is the ClearBank MCP Server?
The ClearBank MCP Server wraps incredibly defensive digital signatures (RSA-SHA256 PEM) autonomously underneath a native Language Model Chat interface. Meaning, your AI has programmatic limits to fire secure European and British payment rails on command natively.
Core Functionality
- Virtual Account Provisioning — Manage deeply nested multi-layered B2B structures. Automatically provision Sort-Code ledgers via
clearbank_create_account. - Payment Initiation (FPS & CHAPS) — Run automated payroll or contractor compensation using direct clearing paths via
clearbank_create_faster_payment. - Algorithmic Tracing — Check real-time payment states organically utilizing
clearbank_get_payment_status.
How it works
- From your ClearBank Institution interface, spawn your API Profile and export a standard RSA
.pemprivate key. - Vinkius natively utilizes the
CLEARBANK_PRIVATE_KEYconstructing Cryptographic Hashes generating RSA Digital Signatures implicitly on every Chat-driven Tool call to authenticate accurately with clearing servers.
Use Cases
- Baas Platforms — Direct integration validating funds exactly when needed under FPS limits.
- Treasury Automation — Have the Agent review your high-volume clearing state.

Frequently asked questions
ClearBank requires complex Body RSA Signatures, how does the prompt handle that?
We handle that completely in the background Engine! The Vinkius runtime grabs your static RSA Private Key from configurations. Every payload created by the Language Model is injected into the Hash, signed, base64 encoded and attached to the HTTP header automatically.
Can the AI Agent manage BACS/CHAPS limits inside ClearBank?
Yes! The core tools natively target both low-latency FPS (Faster Payments) and massive-liquidity CHAPS protocols natively exposed via ClearBank clearing ledgers.
Are Virtual Accounts actively provisioned by the Agent?
The tool clearbank_create_account pushes an instant request spinning up a routing footprint with its own independent balance ledgers.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
