Depix MCP Server

depix-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for DePix App — the agent-facing interface of the non-custodial Pix↔DePix payment gateway.

Connect an AI agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client) and it can receive Pix payments (checkouts and products) and read transaction status — end to end, in sandbox (sk_test_) and production (sk_live_).

• Remote (Streamable HTTP): https://mcp.depixapp.com/mcp
• Local (stdio): npx -y @depixapp/mcp with DEPIX_API_KEY in the environment

What it is (and isn't)

• A pure client of the public DePix API (https://api.depixapp.com/api/*). It holds zero critical credentials — no Eulen token, no database, no webhook HMAC, no Liquid key.
• Never custodial. It never signs a transaction, never holds funds, never stores your key. Your sk_ key is passed verbatim to the API on each call and lives only in memory for that request.
• Same door as everyone. The MCP goes through the same auth, scopes and rate limits as any external agent — no privileged path.

It does not create deposits or withdrawals (that moves funds and belongs to the Wallet SDK — see Related). The pay-side tools here are read-only status reads.

Related — moving funds: the Wallet SDK

This gateway receives payments and reads status. To hold, sign, and move funds — an agent running its own non-custodial Liquid wallet that pays and receives over Pix/DePix, converts DePix/L-BTC/USDt, buys gift cards, and self-onboards — use the companion @depixapp/sdk (source). The seed never leaves the agent and the backend never signs.

Quickstart 1 — Connect Claude Code (remote, HTTP)

Pass your DePix API key as a Bearer header. Always start with a sandbox key.

claude mcp add --transport http depix https://mcp.depixapp.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_YOUR_KEY"

Then test the connection by asking Claude to run get_account. It should return your merchant with is_live: false (sandbox).

Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or a project .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depix": {
      "url": "https://mcp.depixapp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_test_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Or use the one-click deeplink. The key placeholder lives INSIDE the base64 config= value, so re-encode it with your real key first:

node -e 'const cfg={url:"https://mcp.depixapp.com/mcp",headers:{Authorization:"Bearer sk_test_YOUR_KEY"}};console.log(Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(cfg)).toString("base64"))'

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=depix&config=<base64 from the command above>

The claude.ai web UI custom-connector only supports OAuth (no custom header). This server is an OAuth 2.1 Resource Server (WorkOS AuthKit): the web connector signs you in, and the session forwards your verified login to the API as the bearer. To operate you must first link that login to your DePix account (dashboard → connector settings); until then the tools return a typed "not linked yet" message. OAuth sessions are read + merchant only and can never move money (wallet_write) — use an sk_ key for withdrawals. The whole OAuth surface is feature-flagged (AUTHKIT_DOMAIN): with it unset, only the sk_ header/stdio paths above are active. Terminal clients keep using sk_ keys.

Quickstart 2 — Local stdio (Claude Desktop)

The same server runs as a local process over stdio. The key comes from DEPIX_API_KEY (env), never a flag. The only official npm package is @depixapp/mcp — the @depixapp scope is organization-owned; do not install any similarly-named unscoped package. Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depix": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@depixapp/mcp"],
      "env": { "DEPIX_API_KEY": "sk_test_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Run it directly to sanity-check:

DEPIX_API_KEY=sk_test_YOUR_KEY npx -y @depixapp/mcp

Quickstart 3 — Sandbox testing (the full loop)

Always test with an sk_test_ key before sk_live_. Sandbox QRs are non-payable placeholders (SANDBOX-…-DO-NOT-PAY).

1. create_checkout — amount and payer_tax_number are both required (the CPF/CNPJ is required even in sandbox). Use a test CPF like 52998224725:

   { "amount": 1500, "payer_tax_number": "52998224725" }
   

   Returns a chk_… id, a payment_url, a sandbox pix.qr_code, and is_live: false.

2. simulate_checkout_payment — { "checkout_id": "chk_…" } marks the sandbox checkout paid (sandbox-only; live checkouts return sandbox_only).

3. wait_for_checkout — { "checkout_id": "chk_…" }. The server polls internally and streams progress; you make one call and it returns { "status": "completed", "terminal": true } — no client-side polling loop.

You can also read a synthetic deposit: get_deposit_status with a sandbox_… id returns depix_sent.

Tools (21)

The last five are the support channel: open a ticket, poll for the human reply, reply back, or close it (up to 5 open per account). Replies are not pushed — poll get_support_ticket. Amounts are BRL cents. A tool call whose key lacks the required scope returns an insufficient_scope tool error naming the missing scope — that is the only way to discover a missing scope (the API never lists a key's scopes).

Configuration (public, no secrets)

There is deliberately no env for an API key, Eulen token, HMAC or DB credential in the remote server. In HTTP mode the key arrives per-request in the Authorization header.

Endpoints

• POST /mcp — the MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint (DELETE ends a session; GET returns 405 — this stateless server offers no standalone SSE stream).
• GET /.well-known/mcp.json — minimal discovery document.
• GET /api/health (also /) — service status.

Development

npm install
npm test          # vitest
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
npm run lint      # eslint
npm run build     # compile src → dist (the stdio bin)

Set DEPIX_TEST_KEY=sk_test_… to run the real-sandbox e2e test (test/e2e/sandbox.test.ts), otherwise it is skipped.

Release smoke test

After a preview/production deploy:

1. claude mcp add --transport http depix <url>/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_…"
2. Ask Claude to run get_account → returns the merchant, is_live: false.
3. create_checkout (sandbox) → simulate_checkout_payment → wait_for_checkout → completed.

Pushing to main deploys to production (mcp.depixapp.com). Validate on a Vercel preview deploy before merging. Preview hosts are not on the default DNS-rebinding allowlist — set MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS in the preview environment (e.g. mcp.depixapp.com,depix-mcp-<hash>.vercel.app) to smoke-test there.
