What is the Payfunnels MCP Server?
Connect your Payfunnels account to any AI agent and take full control of your billing orchestration and payment collection through natural conversation. Payfunnels provides a simplified platform for accepting payments online, and this integration allows you to create payment links, monitor active subscriptions, and process refunds directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Payment Link Orchestration — Create one-time or recurring payment links programmatically to ensure your sales checkout is always synchronized.
- Subscription Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor active recurring subscriptions and retrieve detailed billing metadata directly from the AI interface to track revenue consistency.
- Transaction & Refund Control — List all processed payments and trigger refunds for specific transactions via natural language to drive better customer satisfaction.
- Fee & Charge Intelligence — Access and manage setup fees and service-related charges to maintain a clear overview of your organizational pricing using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage account profile metadata to ensure your payment operations are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Payfunnels External API Key from your dashboard integration settings
3. Start managing your checkouts from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual logging into dashboards to check payment status. Your AI acts as a dedicated billing coordinator or payments lead.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific payment by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_payment tool with the Payment ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including amount, status, customer info, and transaction date in seconds.
How do I find my Payfunnels External API Key?
Log in to your Payfunnels dashboard, navigate to Billing > Integration, find the 'Payfunnels API Key' section, and click 'Generate' to see your unique secret key.
Can I process a partial refund via the AI?
The current refund_payment tool processes the full transaction amount. For partial refunds, we recommend using the main Payfunnels dashboard until support is added to the API.
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.
