Read Checkout.com payments, disputes, reports and payouts. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"checkoutcom": {
"url": "https://checkoutcom.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"checkoutcom": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://checkoutcom.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your Checkout.com API key.
Create one in Checkout.com → Settings → API. Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Checkout.com API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Checkout.com connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
checkout_get_payment | read | Get payment Get the full details of a payment (or payment session) by its id, e.g. 'pay_...'. Checkout.com: GET /payments/{id}. |
checkout_list_payments | read | List payments by reference List your business's payments that match a given reference. Checkout.com: GET /payments (query parameters). For richer filtering use checkout_search_payments. |
checkout_search_payments | read | Search payments Search payments using flexible query filters (this is a READ — it queries, it does not mutate). Checkout.com: POST /payments/search. Pass a `query` filter object and/or paging fields. |
checkout_get_payment_actions | read | Get payment actions List all the actions (authorization, capture, refund, void, etc.) associated with a payment, latest first. Checkout.com: GET /payments/{id}/actions. |
checkout_get_payment_link | read | Get payment link Retrieve the details and status of a Payment Link by its id, e.g. 'pl_...'. Checkout.com: GET /payment-links/{id}. |
checkout_get_customer | read | Get customer Get a customer's details (email, name, phone, saved instruments) by id 'cus_...' or by email. Checkout.com: GET /customers/{id}. |
checkout_get_instrument | read | Get instrument Get the details of a saved payment instrument (tokenized card / bank account) by id 'src_...'. Checkout.com: GET /instruments/{id}. |
checkout_list_disputes | read | List disputes List disputes (chargebacks) against your business, most-recently-modified first, with optional filters. Checkout.com: GET /disputes. |
checkout_get_dispute | read | Get dispute Get all the details of a single dispute (reason code, amount, deadline, evidence status) by id 'dsp_...'. Checkout.com: GET /disputes/{id}. |
checkout_list_reports | read | List reports List the reports available on your account (settlement, payments, etc.) and their details. Checkout.com: GET /reports. |
checkout_get_report | read | Get report Get the metadata of a specific report (including its downloadable files) by id 'rpt_...'. Checkout.com: GET /reports/{id}. |
checkout_get_forex_rates | read | Get forex rates Get the indicative foreign-exchange rates Checkout.com uses (e.g. for card payouts). Checkout.com: GET /forex/rates. |
checkout_create_payment | write | Create payment CREATES a payment (request an authorization, or an immediate capture) — this MOVES MONEY: it charges a card / payment source. Checkout.com: POST /payments. Provide `amount` (minor units), `currency`, and a `source` object such as { type: 'token', token: 'tok_...' }, { type: 'id', id: 'src_...' } (a saved instrument), or { type: 'customer', id: 'cus_...' }. |
checkout_capture_payment | write | Capture payment CAPTURES a previously authorized payment — this MOVES MONEY: it settles the (full or partial) authorized amount. Checkout.com: POST /payments/{id}/captures. |
checkout_refund_payment | write | Refund payment REFUNDS a captured payment — this MOVES MONEY BACK to the customer (full or partial). Checkout.com: POST /payments/{id}/refunds. |
checkout_void_payment | write | Void payment VOIDS (cancels) a payment that has been authorized but not yet captured — this releases the hold on the customer's funds. Checkout.com: POST /payments/{id}/voids. |
checkout_create_payment_link | write | Create payment link CREATES a hosted Payment Link the customer can pay through — this sets up a way to COLLECT MONEY. Checkout.com: POST /payment-links. Returns a URL to share with the customer. |
checkout_create_customer | write | Create customer CREATES a customer record (which saved instruments and future payments can be attached to). This ADDS data to your account. Checkout.com: POST /customers. |
checkoutcom_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
checkoutcom_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Checkout.com tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
checkoutcom_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Checkout.com tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a Stripe Checkout link to open in your browser; after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
checkoutcom_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Checkout.com Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run checkoutcom_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Pro | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Checkout.com server only. Subscribe with checkoutcom_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with checkoutcom_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running checkoutcom_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Checkout.com. The server calls the Checkout.com API with your own Checkout.com access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your Checkout.com API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Checkout.com API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Checkout.com API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Checkout.com.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 18 Checkout.com tools can create or change data. The other 12 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Checkout.com server only. Run checkoutcom_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run checkoutcom_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run checkoutcom_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with checkoutcom_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
