What you can do with Marqeta

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.

Card, 4 operations

POSTcreate_card
Creates a payment card in Marqeta for a user. Card behavior is defined by the card product including virtual/physical type and spending controls.
GETget_card
Retrieves card details from Marqeta including status, last four digits, expiration, and associated user.
GETlist_cards_for_user
Lists all cards for a user in Marqeta with pagination and sorting options.

Use Marqeta from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Marqeta in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Marqeta 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": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
