Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Handling a Refund Request

A customer calls because they need a refund. You use the MCP to process the partial credit immediately and confirm the transaction.

02

Verifying Checkout Limits

An e-commerce manager needs to know if a large order will pass payment. You check the merchant configuration limits before the sale.

03

Investigating a Payment Failure

A developer needs to debug a payment issue. You pull the detailed logs for the specific order ID to find the exact failure point.

04

Daily Reconciliation

Finance staff need to audit the week's sales. You pull a list of all historical payments to reconcile the books quickly.

Automate a task

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Afterpay works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Afterpay to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Afterpay, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Afterpay. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Afterpay owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP work with my existing e-commerce platform?

    This MCP connects directly to your Afterpay merchant account via your credentials. You use your AI client to interact with the payment data, regardless of which e-commerce platform you run.

  • 02

    What kind of payments can I manage?

    It handles Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payments through Afterpay. You can manage checkouts, monitor payments, and process refunds for these specific transactions.

  • 03

    Can I see all my transaction history?

    Yes. You can use the MCP to retrieve a secure list of all historical BNPL transactions and authorizations from your account.

  • 04

    Is there a limit to the refunds I can process?

    The MCP allows you to initiate full or partial refunds. However, you must always verify the remaining balance before issuing a credit.

  • 05

    What if I need to check my transaction limits?

    You can retrieve your merchant configuration, which shows both the minimum and maximum order limits enforced by your Afterpay account.

  • 06

    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).

  • 07

    Can I process a partial refund via the agent?

    Yes! Use the refund_payment capability and provide the orderId and the specific amount. Your agent will submit the partial refund request to Afterpay for processing.

  • 08

    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 capability later (usually when shipping) to finalize the transaction.
