From creating secure checkout tokens to monitoring payment statuses and processing partial refunds, your agent handles your financial transactions through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Checkout Orchestration — Create new checkout sessions and retrieve secure redirect tokens for your customers
- Payment Monitoring — List and audit historical payments, check capture statuses, and retrieve technical metadata
- Refund Management — Initiate full or partial refunds for specific orders directly from your chat interface
- Configuration Audit — Retrieve merchant-specific configuration including minimum and maximum order limits
- Transaction Insights — Quickly identify successful captures or pending authorizations without manual dashboard exports
How it works

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Afterpay becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Afterpay tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Afterpay Merchant credentials?
Log in to your Afterpay Merchant Portal, go to Settings > API. You can generate and retrieve your Merchant ID and Secret Key there. Make sure to choose the correct region (US, AU, UK).
Can I process a partial refund via the agent?
Yes! Use the refund_payment tool and provide the orderId and the specific amount. Your agent will submit the partial refund request to Afterpay for processing.
What is the difference between Capture and Auth?
'Capture' finalizes the payment immediately. 'Auth' (Authorization) holds the funds on the customer's account, and you must call the capture tool later (usually when shipping) to finalize the transaction.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
