What is the Authorize.net MCP Server?
Connect your Authorize.net merchant gateway to any AI agent to power conversational commerce. Command precise payment logic, track settlements, and manage Customer Information Manager (CIM) profiles effortlessly.
What you can do
- Payment Processing — Run strict "Auth & Capture" to process real funds instantly, or perform "Auth Only" to hold funds legitimately before shipping
- Refunds & Voids — Initiate refunds on previously settled transactions or Void anomalies residing in your pending batches cleanly
- Vault & CIM Profiles — Securely construct isolated Customer Information Profiles linking sensitive card data without exposing raw PANs to unencrypted bounds
- Auditing & Settlements — Query distinct details of a single transaction ID or map an overarching list of today's unsettled nightly batch runs
How it works
- Subscribe to this secure MCP Server
- Add your Authorize.net Login ID, Transaction Key, and Environment mapping
- Engage directly with Authorize.net's API via Claude, Cursor, or any compatible AI client
Your AI agent eliminates the clunky Merchant Interface, managing daily financial anomalies in pure dialogue.
Who is this for?
- E-Commerce Managers — seamlessly execute post-return refunds dynamically on the fly
- Sales Engineers — verify exactly why a card was declined (AVS or CVV logic flaws) natively
- Financial Ops — track unresolved unsettled holds systematically prior to batch processing

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI safely create standard CIM profiles?
Yes. The agent utilizes Authorize.net's API structure strictly intended for PCI-compliant scenarios. It successfully tokens the user emails converting them into shielded unique underlying node endpoints (Profile ID). Subsequent commands elegantly pin payment PAN inputs strictly onto that boundary.
Why would I use "Auth Only" instead of "Auth Capture"?
An "Auth Only" is essential when shipping physical goods that aren't instantly ready. It guarantees the user's funds exist and freezes them for up to 30 days without legally withdrawing the cash. Once the shipment processes, your AI issues a Prior Auth Capture logically finishing the monetary path.
Is it possible to completely void transactions instead of waiting for a settlement?
Yes. Authorize.net supports a strict "Void" capability on unsettled transactions. The AI can cancel a transaction if asked quickly within the same business day, preventing the funds from ever being captured in the overnight batch—saving you settlement and processing fees.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
