mcp-nexi-pos-api

MVP MCP server for Nexi POS payment operations.

It provides tools to create purchases and refunds, poll payment state, confirm transactions, and recover unconfirmed transactions.

Setup

From npm package

npm install -g mcp-nexi-pos-api

      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-nexi-pos-api/dist/index.js"],

        "NEXI_POS_API_KEY_ID": "your-api-key-id",
        "NEXI_POS_API_KEY_SECRET": "your-api-key-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Amount format

All amounts are integers in ISO 4217 minor units. Do not send floating point values.

Examples:

• SEK 1.00 = 100

• EUR 1.00 = 100

• JPY 1 = 1

The default max amount is 500, meaning SEK/EUR 5.00. Set NEXI_POS_MAX_AMOUNT_MINOR to a value that matches your test or production needs.

Tools

• set_terminal_id - store a terminal ID for this MCP server session.

• get_session_terminal_id - show the current session terminal ID.

• clear_terminal_id - clear the session terminal ID.

• create_purchase - low-level purchase call.

• take_payment - high-level purchase helper that repeats while Nexi returns PROCESSING.

• create_refund - low-level refund call.

• confirm_transaction - confirm a purchase or refund result.

• get_transaction - fetch a transaction by external_id and terminal.

• get_unconfirmed_transactions - list unconfirmed transactions for a terminal.

All tool responses use this JSON shape:

{
  "ok": true,
  "operation": "take_payment",
  "terminal_id": "terminal-1",
  "external_id": "order-123",
  "state": "AWAITING_CONFIRM",
  "result_code": "SUCCESS",
  "result_description": "Approved",
  "success": true,
  "message": "Payment flow stopped at terminal/current state",
  "transaction": {},
  "raw": {}
}

ok means the MCP/API call was handled. It does not always mean the card payment succeeded. success is true only when result_code is SUCCESS.

Payment flow

1. Set the terminal ID once:

{ "terminal_id": "YOUR_TERMINAL_ID" }

2. Start a payment:

{
  "external_id": "order-1001",
  "requested_amount": 100,
  "currency": "SEK"
}

For most clients, use take_payment. It calls Nexi purchase repeatedly while the state is PROCESSING, until the total timeout_seconds is reached or Nexi returns a later state such as AWAITING_CONFIRM, CONFIRMED, or COMMITTED.

If the timeout is reached while the transaction is still PROCESSING, the response includes external_id, terminal_id, and the latest state. You can later call get_transaction or call take_payment again with the same identifiers.

Confirmation

This MVP does not confirm by default.

When a transaction reaches AWAITING_CONFIRM, call confirm_transaction:

{
  "external_id": "order-1001",
  "result_code": "SUCCESS"
}

You can also let take_payment confirm automatically:

{
  "external_id": "order-1002",
  "requested_amount": 100,
  "auto_confirm": true
}

Use auto_confirm only when your business flow is ready to accept the transaction result immediately.

SQLite storage and recovery

The server stores payment-relevant state in SQLite at NEXI_POS_STORAGE_PATH.

Stored data includes:

• external ID

• terminal ID

• transaction type

• currency

• requested amount

• state

• result code and description

• confirmation flag

• timestamps

• redacted raw transaction JSON

API credentials are never stored. Card-related fields should be redacted by the storage/client layer.

Recovery workflow after a restart:

1. Call set_terminal_id if the session terminal ID was lost.

2. Call get_transaction with the known external_id.

3. Call get_unconfirmed_transactions for the terminal.

4. If needed, call confirm_transaction with the correct result_code.

SQLite improves recovery, but it is not a full production operations system. Keep your own order records and reconcile with Nexi when needed.

Simulator amount examples

Use small minor-unit amounts during simulator testing, for example:

• 100 for SEK 1.00

• 200 for SEK 2.00

• 500 for SEK 5.00

Keep NEXI_POS_MAX_AMOUNT_MINOR low in test environments to avoid accidental large payments.

Implementation notes for integration

The MCP tool layer expects these core modules to exist:

• src/config.ts exporting getConfig() with API, currency, max amount, and storage path settings.

• src/nexi-client.ts exporting NexiClient with purchase, refund, confirm, getTransaction, and getUnconfirmedTransactions methods.

• src/storage/sqlite-store.ts exporting SQLiteStore with saveIntent, updateTransaction, and markConfirmed methods.

These modules are intentionally separate from the MCP tool code so the API client and storage can be tested independently.
