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.

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 Returns

A customer returns an item. You ask your agent to refund the original transaction ID, and it executes the refund immediately.

02

Pre-Shipping Holds

You need to reserve funds for a large order before shipping. You use the MCP to place an 'Auth Only' hold, and then capture it later.

03

Debugging Declines

A card fails payment. You ask your agent to check the transaction details to see if the failure was due to AVS or CVV mismatch.

04

End-of-Day Reconciliation

You need to know which transactions are stuck. You list all unsettled transactions to identify items needing manual review or voiding.

One connector, every AI

Authorize.net 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 Authorize.net 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.

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

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Authorize.net owners hand off.

This MCP is essential for e-commerce managers and financial operations teams. It lets you execute complex payment logic—like handling refunds or voiding transactions—without logging into a separate, clunky merchant portal. You keep all your financial actions within your AI agent's conversational flow.

  • 01

    E-Commerce Managers

    Execute post-return refunds dynamically and manage customer payment profiles.

  • 02

    Sales Engineers

    Verify exactly why a card was declined, checking for AVS or CVV logic flaws.

  • 03

    Financial Operations

    Track unresolved unsettled holds and systematically manage transactions prior to batch processing.

FAQ

Questions Authorize.net owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP handle PCI compliance?

    Yes. The MCP is designed to manage sensitive data like CIM profiles securely, helping you handle payment information without exposing raw PANs to unencrypted bounds. It keeps the process compliant and controlled.

  • 02

    What is the difference between Auth Only and Auth Capture?

    Auth Only places a temporary hold on funds, reserving the money without completing the sale. Auth Capture is the final step that processes the funds and completes the transaction, moving the money from the hold to the merchant account.

  • 03

    Can I use this to void transactions?

    Yes. You can use the void_transaction capability to cancel an unsettled transaction. This prevents the transaction from being included in the next batch settlement.

  • 04

    Is this just a directory of payment capabilities?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages this entire MCP. You connect once from your AI client, and the MCP is ready to run immediately, managing credentials and keeping the connection active for you.

  • 05

    What kind of data can I retrieve?

    You can retrieve detailed information for any specific transaction ID, list all unsettled transactions, or get full details of a customer's stored payment profile.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
