Braintree

What your agent can do

Braintree gives your agent 22 tools it calls directly — pick the ones it needs, in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

• →authorize_transaction — Authorize a transaction (reserve funds without capturing) via Braintree GraphQL authorizePaymentMethod. Pass a paymentMethodId obtained from client-side tokenization (Drop-in / Hosted Fields / SDK nonce). Capture later with capture_transaction.
• →charge_transaction — Authorize and capture a transaction atomically via Braintree GraphQL chargePaymentMethod. Use for one-step sales. For auth-now-capture-later split, use authorize_transaction + capture_transaction.
• →capture_transaction — Capture a previously authorized transaction via captureTransaction. Amount defaults to full authorized amount when omitted (partial captures allowed up to the authorized total).

// Your agent calls a tool directly — no glue code.
// CodeSpar's managed tier handles OAuth2, token rotation and rate limits.
const result = await session.call("authorize_transaction", { /* ... */ });

Install

$ npm install @codespar/mcp-braintree

Quickstart

Add this entry to your claude_desktop_config.json (or any MCP-compatible client config).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "braintree": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@codespar/mcp-braintree"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BRAINTREE_MERCHANT_ID": "<your_braintree_merchant_id>",
        "BRAINTREE_PUBLIC_KEY": "<your_braintree_public_key>",
        "BRAINTREE_PRIVATE_KEY": "<your_braintree_private_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

After restart, your agent can call any of the 22 tools below — try authorize_transaction first.

MCP is a protocol — any framework that speaks it can mount this server.
