What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use the SumUp MCP server (https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp) from Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP-capable client. Use when the user mentions SumUp MCP, needs to wire mcp.sumup.com, or wants tool-based access to SumUp APIs.

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
- Add an MCP server entry named
sumup. - Set URL to
https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp. - Use streamable HTTP transport if the client requires explicit transport.
- Complete authentication flow when prompted by the client.
- 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:
- Exact server configuration snippet.
- Authentication steps and where failures usually happen.
- One verification command/prompt to confirm setup.
- A safe first task in sandbox before production usage.
