## Which one, for what

### Adyen MCP server (C)

Good for: An Adyen merchant's developer or operations staff who want an assistant to create payment links and sessions, look up terminals, webhooks, users and credentials, and change terminal settings, with a person watching writes.

- Schema & documentation, 73 against 54
- Security & auth, 63 against 55
- Transparency & trust, 83 against 4

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine
- Open source

Watch for: The README is headed alpha, the package is at 0.6.0, and the server reports itself as version 0.4.0

### TermiX AACP (D)

## 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
