Available tools 7

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

braintree
braintree_customer_payment_methods
List the vaulted payment methods (credit cards, PayPal accounts, etc.) for one customer, by GraphQL global Customer ID. Returns each method's id, legacyId, usage, created-at, and detail type. GraphQL `node { ... on Customer { paymentMethods } }`.
braintree_find_customer
Fetch one customer by GraphQL global Customer ID via the `node` query. Returns id, legacyId, name, company, and created-at. To also enumerate stored cards/PayPal accounts use braintree_customer_payment_methods.
braintree_find_transaction
Fetch one transaction by its GraphQL global ID (the opaque `id` returned by braintree_search_transactions, NOT the short legacy id). Uses the GraphQL `node` query. Returns amount, status, timestamps, order id, and the linked customer.
braintree_list_subscriptions
List a customer's recurring / subscription payment activity. IMPORTANT: Braintree's GraphQL API does NOT expose native Subscription objects (recurring-billing management is still legacy-API only — see braintree/graphql-api issue #1). This tool therefore returns the customer's transactions (the observable evidence of subscription charges) via a TransactionSearchInput scoped to the customer; inspect each node's status/amount/createdAt to trace recurring charges. For full subscription CRUD you must use Braintree's legacy server SDK / REST API.
braintree_refund_transaction
DESTRUCTIVE. Refund a SETTLED (or settling) transaction, returning money to the customer. Use the GraphQL global transaction ID. Omit `amount` for a full refund, or pass a decimal string for a partial refund. GraphQL mutation `refundTransaction`. For transactions not yet settled, use braintree_void_transaction instead.
braintree_search_transactions
Search transactions by created-at date range, status, and/or customer. Builds a TransactionSearchInput (operators: status `in`, createdAt `greaterThanOrEqualTo`/`lessThanOrEqualTo`, customer.id `is`). Returns a page of transaction nodes (id, legacyId, amount, status, createdAt). GraphQL `search { transactions }`.
braintree_void_transaction
DESTRUCTIVE. Void (cancel) a transaction that has NOT yet settled — e.g. an authorization or one submitted-for-settlement. Use the GraphQL global transaction ID. GraphQL mutation `voidTransaction`. For already-settled transactions use braintree_refund_transaction instead.

Braintree — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Braintree do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: braintree_customer_payment_methods, braintree_find_customer, braintree_find_transaction, braintree_list_subscriptions, braintree_refund_transaction, braintree_search_transactions and 1 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 Braintree working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 18 of 91 checks got a reply (19.8%), average response time 181 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Braintree 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 Braintree?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Braintree need an API key?
No. Braintree completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Braintree?
It answers our handshake in 181 ms on average, which is faster than 67% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Braintree open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
