# SpherePay MCP Server

A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for the [SpherePay](https://spherepay.co) payment platform. Manage customers, bank accounts, wallets, transfers, virtual accounts, webhooks, and CCTP off-ramps directly from Claude.

## Features

- **24 curated tools** — 9 workflow tools for multi-step operations, 15 read-only tools for instant lookups
- **Automatic retries** with exponential backoff and rate limit handling
- **Idempotency** for transfers — duplicate requests are safely deduplicated
- **PII redaction** in logs — account numbers, routing numbers, and personal data are never logged
- **Input validation** at the tool boundary — IDs, currencies, networks, and amounts are validated before any API call
- **Desktop Extension** (.mcpb) for one-click Claude Desktop installation

TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 24 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear descriptions that prevent ambiguity between similar entities like wallets, offloader wallets, and virtual accounts.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern, but creation operations use varying verbs (create, onboard, setup) instead of a single convention, which is a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count4/5

24 tools is slightly above the typical well-scoped range, but still reasonable for the breadth of functionality covered in a payment platform.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers core workflows but lacks update or delete operations for entities like customers, bank accounts, and webhooks, which could hinder full lifecycle management.
