Gocardless — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Gocardless do?

It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: gocardless_create_customer, gocardless_get_customer, gocardless_get_mandate, gocardless_get_payment, gocardless_get_payout, gocardless_get_subscription and 9 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 Gocardless working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 39 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Gocardless 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 Gocardless?

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 Gocardless need an API key?

No. Gocardless completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is Gocardless 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.
