sumup-mcp

sumup-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sumup/sumup-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (549 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection guide for using SumUp's payment tools through MCP, a standard way for AI clients to call external services. It explains how to connect a client such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to SumUp.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list merchant checkouts, create sandbox checkouts, inspect payment status, or investigate information needed to reconcile failed payments.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out the server address, connection format, authentication, and example requests yourself. It also points out the need to check that the tools are available before use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sumup-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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:
