Integration

GoCardless integration

Direct Debit and open banking payments API. Collect recurring and one-off payments via Bacs, SEPA, ACH, BECS, Autogiro, BetalingsService and PAD. Manage customers, mandates, payments, subscriptions, refunds, and payouts. Use Billing Requests for the modern unified setup flow (Direct Debit + Instant Bank Pay). Production base URL is https://api.gocardless.com; switch to https://api-sandbox.gocardless.com for testing. All requests must send the GoCardless-Version: 2015-07-06 header.

What you can do with GoCardless

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use GoCardless from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect GoCardless in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its GoCardless operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
