SumUp MCP Server Guide

Use this skill when setup or usage of the SumUp MCP server is requested.

Canonical endpoint:

• https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp

What this skill covers

• MCP server wiring in MCP-capable clients
• Auth handshake troubleshooting
• Prompt patterns for tool-driven SumUp API tasks
• Safe usage guardrails for production and sandbox contexts

Minimal Setup Checklist

1. Add an MCP server entry named sumup.
2. Set URL to https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp.
3. Use streamable HTTP transport if the client requires explicit transport.
4. Complete authentication flow when prompted by the client.
5. Confirm tools are discoverable before first task prompt.

Example MCP Server Declaration

{
  "servers": {
    "sumup": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable_http"
    }
  }
}

Adapt field names to the target client's MCP config schema.

Prompt Patterns

• "List my SumUp merchant checkouts from the last 24 hours."
• "Create a sandbox checkout for 12.34 EUR and return the checkout id."
• "Inspect this checkout id and summarize status transitions."
• "Show what data is needed to reconcile failed payments for this reference."

Common Failure Modes

Server not reachable

• Confirm exact URL and transport.
• Check client allows outbound HTTPS.
• Retry from a clean session.

Auth loop or unauthorized

• Re-run auth handshake and ensure correct account/environment.
• Confirm the token/session has required scopes.

Tools not appearing

• Refresh/reload MCP server in client.
• Confirm server alias matches the expected name in prompts/config.

Safety and Reliability Rules

• Never expose secrets or raw tokens in prompts or logs.
• Prefer sandbox for new workflows and regression tests.
• For payment-critical actions, verify final checkout status through deterministic reads.
• Record checkout ids/references for auditability and reconciliation.

Required Response Contract

When answering MCP setup/use requests, include:

1. Exact server configuration snippet.
2. Authentication steps and where failures usually happen.
3. One verification command/prompt to confirm setup.
4. A safe first task in sandbox before production usage.
