create_payment_link

Create a payment link in ZMW for Zambia via Flutterwave. Buyer pays with MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, cards — via Flutterwave. Returns a hosted checkout URL the buyer opens to pay — payment completes automatically, no confirm step. Bring your own credentials via HTTP header (x-flutterwave-secret-key; free test credentials from dashboard.flutterwave.com never move real money). Money always flows buyer→Flutterwave→merchant; this service never touches funds.

Parameters5

amount_zmw	number	required	Amount in ZMW (decimals allowed), e.g. 50. Minimum 5.
description	string	required	What this payment is for (shown to the buyer, ≤200 chars)
customer_email	string	required	Buyer email (required by Flutterwave; the receipt goes there).
reference_id	string	optional	Your unique order reference (≤40 chars). Auto-generated if omitted.
success_url	string	optional	Optional https URL to send the buyer to after payment.

    },

    },
    "customer_email": {

    },
    "reference_id": {

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "amount_zmw",
    "description",
    "customer_email"
  ]
}

query_payment_status

Check whether a Zambia payment (created by create_payment_link) has been paid. Queries Flutterwave directly — pull-based, no webhook needed. paid=true when status is PAID.

Parameters1

tx_ref

string

required

The tx_ref returned by create_payment_link

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tx_ref": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The tx_ref returned by create_payment_link"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tx_ref"
  ]
}

refund_payment

Refund a paid payment (created by create_payment_link). Full refund by default; pass amount for a partial refund where supported. Refunds respect the same owner policy guardrails (x-agentpay-max-amount) as payments — the amount is checked before anything is sent to the gateway.

Parameters2

tx_ref	string	required	The tx_ref of the paid payment (same id used by query_payment_status)
amount	number	optional	Optional partial-refund amount in the local currency major unit. Omit for a full refund.

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tx_ref": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The tx_ref of the paid payment (same id used by query_payment_status)"
    },
    "amount": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Optional partial-refund amount in the local currency major unit. Omit for a full refund."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tx_ref"
  ]
}

create_subscription_link

Create a recurring subscription checkout link (ZMW, monthly/yearly/weekly billing) via Flutterwave. The buyer opens the URL, authorizes payment once, and is then charged automatically every period until canceled. Amount is per billing period. Respects the same owner policy guardrails as payments (the per-period amount is checked before anything is created).

Parameters5

amount_zmw	number	required	Amount charged per billing period (ZMW major unit)
interval	string	optional	Billing period. Default "month".
description	string	required	What the subscription is for (also used as the Flutterwave plan name, <=80 chars)
customer_email	string	required	Buyer email (required by Flutterwave; receipts and renewal notices go there).
success_url	string	optional	Optional https URL to send the buyer to after subscribing.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "amount_zmw": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Amount charged per billing period (ZMW major unit)"
    },
    "interval": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "month",
        "year",
        "week",
        "day"
      ],
      "description": "Billing period. Default \"month\"."
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "What the subscription is for (also used as the Flutterwave plan name, <=80 chars)"
    },
    "customer_email": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Buyer email (required by Flutterwave; receipts and renewal notices go there)."
    },
    "success_url": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional https URL to send the buyer to after subscribing."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "amount_zmw",
    "description",
    "customer_email"
  ]
}

query_subscription

Check a subscription created by create_subscription_link. Query by customer_email (required); pass plan_id (returned at creation) to disambiguate when the same email has several plans. active=true when the subscription status is ACTIVE; NOT_SUBSCRIBED_YET means the buyer has not completed the first payment yet. The result includes subscription_id — keep it to cancel later.

Parameters2

customer_email	string	required	The buyer email used in create_subscription_link
plan_id	string	optional	Optional plan_id returned by create_subscription_link (disambiguates multiple subscriptions on the same email).

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "customer_email": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The buyer email used in create_subscription_link"
    },
    "plan_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional plan_id returned by create_subscription_link (disambiguates multiple subscriptions on the same email)."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "customer_email"
  ]
}

cancel_subscription

Cancel a subscription so it will not renew. Requires the subscription_id, which you get from query_subscription (Flutterwave does not expose it at creation time — the buyer must complete the first payment, then query_subscription returns it).

Parameters1

subscription_id

string

required

The subscription_id returned by query_subscription

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "subscription_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The subscription_id returned by query_subscription"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "subscription_id"
  ]
}

Zambia Payments MCP — let AI agents accept payments in Zambia

Use it in 60 seconds

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-capable agent):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zambia-payments": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-zm.wishpool.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Nothing to install. Credentials, when you need them, travel as HTTP headers on each request and are never stored — see the threat model.

Or run it yourself

Would you rather not send production credentials to a server you do not control? Deploy this identical code to your own account and point your agent at your own URL:

bash

git clone https://github.com/junter1989k-ai/zambia-payments-mcp && cd zambia-payments-mcp && npx vercel --prod

Live · MCP endpoint: https://mcp-zm.wishpool.app/mcp · Listed on the official MCP Registry as app.wishpool/zambia-payments-mcp · Part of a 71-country family — hub: mcp.wishpool.app

A remote MCP server that lets any AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) accept payments in Zambia: MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, cards — via Flutterwave — via Flutterwave's hosted checkout.

⚖️ Stateless translation layer: funds always flow buyer → Flutterwave → merchant directly. Never holds funds or stores credentials — no database at all.

Quick start

MCP endpoint: https://mcp-zm.wishpool.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless JSON-RPC)

Header	Value
`x-flutterwave-secret-key`	your Flutterwave secret key (FLWSECK_TEST- = test mode from dashboard.flutterwave.com, FLWSECK- = production)

Tools

Tool	What it does
`create_payment_link`	Create a ZMW hosted-checkout link.
`query_payment_status`	Pull-based status check; `paid=true` when PAID.

Develop

bash

node test/serve.js      # local server (http://localhost:3279/mcp)
node test/e2e.js        # protocol + validation suite (probes real Flutterwave auth errors)
