Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

application
application_handoff
Turn business facts already discussed into answers the user can copy into PayFresco's application form, list what to enter only on PayFresco's own site, and give the apply link. Runs the same eligibility screen first. Does not fill in, submit, or send an application, does not contact anyone, and never collects ID numbers, bank details, or contact details.
application_readiness
Self-check of what a business has prepared before applying to PayFresco: registration documents, a live website with products and prices, a published refund policy, a product description, a volume estimate, processing statements, and, if relevant, an explanation of a previous account closure. Returns ready, missing, not answered, or not applicable for each item, a copyable checklist, and what to expect after applying (approval in about 3 days, the starting volume ramp, the reserve, payouts, and currencies). Readiness is not an approval chance. Does not approve a merchant, quote fees, submit an application, or contact anyone.
assess
assess_payment_setup
Compare a registration country, target markets, business category, billing model, presentment currencies, settlement currencies, and payment methods with the PayFresco capability catalog. Returns documented, conditional, unsupported, and unknown requirements. Does not approve a merchant, quote a fee, submit an application, or contact anyone. Use ISO country and currency codes. Unknown means that requirement has no publication-approved coverage.
build
build_readiness_checklist
Build an operational preparation checklist for website policies, refunds, fulfillment, billing disclosures, currency handling, UK and EEA authentication questions, reconciliation, and provider questions. Does not collect documents and does not mean legal compliance, underwriting approval, or production readiness. Distinguish the UK, the EU, and the EEA.
eligibility
check_eligibility
Quick qualitative screen of whether a business can apply to PayFresco, from registration country, customer markets, business category, monthly volume band, and processing history. Uses the capability catalog, including sanctioned-jurisdiction and app-prohibited category rules. Returns no_blocker_found, blocked, outside_app_scope, needs_information, or unconfirmed, plus what to prepare and the apply link. Does not approve a merchant, estimate an approval chance for this business, quote fees, submit an application, or contact anyone.
estimate
estimate_payout_schedule
Illustrate PayFresco's 10% reserve on a 90-day rolling basis and its T+2 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday payout cadence using a monthly volume the user supplies, with an optional fee percentage the user supplies. Shows reserve held, released, and balance by month, and an example payout week. Set show_starting_cap to compare the volume with PayFresco's starting volume ramp of up to $3k/day. Labeled as an illustration using the user's numbers. Never invents or quotes a PayFresco fee or exchange rate, and does not move money.
plan
plan_currency_settlement
Build a route table from customer payment currencies to desired settlement currencies. Says whether conversion is required and whether a route is documented. Uses only caller-supplied amounts and exchange-rate assumptions. Does not invent rates or fees. States PayFresco's approved reserve (10%, 90-day rolling) and payout timing (T+2 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) as conditional on underwriting, not a promise. Does not move money.
start
start_application
Send the merchant's application request to the PayFresco team so they can follow up. This is the only tool that sends data. Before calling it you MUST: (1) ask whether the merchant wants PayFresco to contact them about an application; (2) collect only name, business name, email, an optional Telegram handle, monthly card volume, the current processor, and what happened (shutdown, hold, or other); (3) show the merchant every value you will send, exactly as you will send it; (4) get an explicit yes in chat. Set consent and user_confirmed to true only after that yes; otherwise the server rejects the request. Never include SSNs or tax IDs, bank account, routing, or IBAN numbers, card numbers, passwords, or ID documents, and do not add other fields. If sending is not available, the result gives the application link and the Telegram bot instead.

PayFresco Payment Planner — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PayFresco Payment Planner do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: application_handoff, application_readiness, assess_payment_setup, build_readiness_checklist, check_eligibility, estimate_payout_schedule and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is PayFresco Payment Planner working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 6 of 92 checks got a reply (6.5%), average response time 932 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists PayFresco Payment Planner as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect PayFresco Payment Planner?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PayFresco Payment Planner need an API key?
No. PayFresco Payment Planner completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PayFresco Payment Planner?
It answers our handshake in 932 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
