- Payment Ingestion — Capture authorized funds once goods are shipped to finalize transactions
- Financial Resolution — Process full or partial refunds and void authorized but uncaptured payments
- Status Monitoring — Retrieve real-time status and lifecycle updates for any Zip order
- Account Insight — Access merchant configuration, currency limits, and account-level settings

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Authorize and Confirm in Zip?
Authorize initiates the transaction and checks for customer funds. Confirm (used in some regions) finalizes the checkout intent before capture.
Can I process partial captures via the agent?
Yes, the capture_zip_payment tool accepts an optional JSON body where you can specify a partial amount to capture if only part of the order is shipping.
How do I handle different regions like US and AU?
Specify your account region ('US' or 'AU') in the configuration settings. The MCP server automatically routes requests to the correct Zip gateway URL.
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.
