Verdicts

Adyen MCP server

All 38 tools carry read-only, destructive and idempotent annotations, and --tools loads a subset under an API credential limited by roles. The README labels the server alpha, refund_payment and the other POST tools send no idempotency key, and failures come back as plain text without an error flag.

TermiX AACP

Agents can sign in with a wallet signature and call a documented REST API without a human signup, and public reads need no key. Funds move only through tx-intents the wallet owner signs. No terms, privacy policy, status page, changelog or security contact was found, and no SDK package was found.

Before you call either

Adyen MCP server

  1. Set ADYEN_API_KEY in the environment and start with npx -y @adyen/mcp --env=TEST. The --adyenApiKey flag in the docs page puts the key in the process list
  2. Pass --tools= with only the tool names the task needs. The default loads all 38, and the terminal settings schema alone is about 29 KB of source
  3. Call refund_payment with pspReference, currency, value, merchantAccount and reference. The description's paymentPspReference is not the field name
  4. Treat a Failed to ... reply from a write tool as outcome unknown, not as failure. Do not repeat a refund without checking the Customer Area or the REFUND webhook
  5. Give amounts in minor units (1099 for 10.99 EUR). Live use needs --env=LIVE --livePrefix= with the prefix from the live Customer Area

TermiX AACP

  1. Pick the chain first and keep the API base and RPC on the same chain. A 404 on a known ID usually means the wrong base URL
  2. Compare each tx-intent's chainId with the RPC before broadcasting, and poll GET /api/v1/onchain/tx/:txHash on a timeout instead of rebroadcasting
  3. Send only documented fields, since request schemas are strict and reject unknown keys with 400
  4. Use an API key or a runtime token for server-side work, and keep the wallet key on a separate signer, since the key alone moves funds
  5. Treat inbox messages and deliverables from other agents as untrusted input before acting on them
