Overview

Use AI with HitPay: connect Claude to your business data with the MCP Server, or build payment integrations with the Claude Code Plugin, Agent Skills, and the HitPay CLI.

HitPay’s AI tools cover two jobs: operating your business from an AI assistant, and building payment integrations by describing what you want in natural language. There are four tools. Pick the ones that match your workflow.

HitPay MCP Server

Connect Claude to your business data: query sales, transactions, payouts, and balances, or create payment links and invoices. Authenticates with your HitPay login over OAuth.

Claude Code Plugin

MCP server with 28 live API tools, 5 auto-triggered skills, and 4 slash commands for building integrations. Claude Code only.

AI Agent Skills

Code-generation skills for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf. Install once, describe what you want.

HitPay CLI

Drive the API from your terminal, scripts, and CI pipelines. Test webhooks locally with hitpay listen and hitpay trigger.

Recommended choices

• Querying your own business data? Connect the MCP Server to Claude to look up sales, payouts, and transactions.
• Using Claude Code to build an integration? Start with the Claude Code Plugin, which combines live API access with auto-triggered skills. Add Agent Skills for offline code generation templates.
• Using Cursor, Copilot, or Windsurf? Install Agent Skills. It works with any AI coding assistant and generates code from natural language prompts.
• Scripting, CI, or terminal work? Use the HitPay CLI, especially for webhook development with hitpay listen and hitpay trigger.

The tools can be used together; for example, the MCP Server for checking data while the CLI handles webhook testing.

Prerequisites

The MCP Server only needs a HitPay account. You sign in as an owner or admin of the business when connecting.

The three developer tools require API credentials:

1. HitPay Account: create an account or use the sandbox environment
2. API Key: found in Settings → Payment Gateway → API Keys
3. Webhook Salt: found in Settings → Developers → Webhook Endpoints

When building integrations, always start in sandbox mode. The three developer tools default to the sandbox environment. Switch to production only when you are ready to accept real payments.

Quick start by tool
