Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open your Switchy workspace and navigate to Settings > Integrations > Browse MCP Servers. 2. Search for 'Cashfree Payments' and click Connect. 3. You'll be redirected to Cashfree's OAuth consent screen — log in with an account that has API access enabled. 4. Grant read permissions for transactions, settlements, and payouts (Cashfree will list the exact scopes). 5. After authorizing, you'll return to Switchy and see a green 'Connected' badge next to Cashfree Payments. 6. To test, create a new Project, type '@Cashfree' in the chat, and ask 'show me yesterday's settlement summary' — the MCP should respond with transaction data. 7. If you see an auth error, revisit Settings > Integrations and click Reconnect to refresh the token.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Cashfree MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@cashfree show me all successful payments from the last 7 days, grouped by payment method
Here's a summary of successful payments over the past week: **UPI**: 142 transactions, ₹3,24,890 total **Credit Card**: 67 transactions, ₹5,12,340 total **Debit Card**: 38 transactions, ₹1,89,220 total **Net Banking**: 21 transactions, ₹2,45,100 total Total successful volume: ₹12,71,550 across 268 transactions. Average transaction value: ₹4,730. Peak transaction hour was 2-3 PM with 34 payments processed.
This read-heavy query demonstrates the MCP's ability to aggregate transaction data by payment instrument. Requires read access to payment orders in your Cashfree dashboard. Response time depends on transaction volume — accounts with 10,000+ daily payments may see slower queries or need date-range narrowing.
@cashfree create a payment link for ₹2,500 with description 'Invoice #INV-2024-089' that expires in 48 hours
Payment link created successfully: **Link**: https://payments.cashfree.com/links/abc123xyz789 **Amount**: ₹2,500.00 **Description**: Invoice #INV-2024-089 **Expires**: January 15, 2025 at 3:30 PM IST **Link ID**: link_abc123xyz789 The link is now active. Customers can pay via UPI, cards, net banking, or wallets. You'll receive a webhook notification when payment completes.
This write action creates a shareable payment URL without building checkout UI. Requires write permissions on payment links. The MCP triggers a real side-effect — the link goes live immediately and charges are processed when customers pay. Always verify the amount before confirming the prompt.
@cashfree analyze refund patterns from December and draft a summary explaining why refund rate increased
Refund analysis for December 2024: **Refund Rate**: 4.2% (up from 2.8% in November) **Total Refunds**: 89 transactions, ₹1,34,200 refunded **Primary drivers**: 1. **Delivery delays** (38 refunds): Holiday shipping backlog caused 12-day average delays 2. **Product mismatch** (27 refunds): Inventory sync issues led to wrong items shipped 3. **Duplicate charges** (14 refunds): Payment gateway retry logic created double-billing Recommendation: Address inventory sync first — it's both high-volume and preventable with better SKU validation at checkout.
This synthesis example pairs transaction data with AI reasoning to surface actionable insights. The MCP fetches refund records; the AI identifies patterns and drafts explanations. Accuracy depends on refund reason codes being consistently tagged in your Cashfree account. Cross-reference findings with your order management system for full context.
Use-case deep-dives
When Cashfree MCP fits monthly subscription close workflows
A 3-person finance team at a B2B SaaS company closes books on the 5th of each month and needs to reconcile Cashfree payment gateway transactions against Stripe invoices and internal revenue records. The Cashfree MCP handles OAuth2 authentication once, then lets the team query settlement reports, refund logs, and payout status without switching contexts. This works when your payment volume is under 2,000 transactions per month and reconciliation happens on a fixed cadence. If you process more than that or need real-time dispute monitoring, you'll want a dedicated reconciliation tool that polls Cashfree's webhooks instead of querying on-demand. For small teams doing monthly close in Switchy, this MCP eliminates the CSV export dance.
How support agents use Cashfree MCP for refund requests
A 5-person customer success team at an ed-tech platform fields 20-30 refund requests daily from students who paid via Cashfree's UPI or card rails. The support agent opens a Switchy thread, pastes the customer email or order ID, and the Cashfree MCP pulls transaction status, payment method, and refund eligibility in one query. This beats logging into the Cashfree dashboard because the agent stays in the same workspace where they're drafting the response email. The trade-off: if your refund policy requires multi-step approval or connects to inventory systems, the MCP alone won't close the loop—you'll need a workflow tool on top. For straightforward lookup-and-refund cases, this MCP cuts resolution time in half.
When ops teams verify seller payouts with Cashfree MCP
A 2-person operations team at a freelance marketplace runs weekly payout batches to 150 sellers via Cashfree's payout API. On payout day, they need to confirm which transfers succeeded, which are pending bank validation, and which failed due to account mismatches. The Cashfree MCP lets them query payout status by batch ID or beneficiary account without writing a script or opening the vendor dashboard. This scenario works when your seller count is under 500 and payouts happen weekly or less frequently. If you're running daily payouts to thousands of beneficiaries, you need a dedicated payout ops platform that handles retries and notifications automatically. For small marketplaces doing manual spot-checks, this MCP turns a 30-minute dashboard session into a 3-minute Switchy query.
Frequently asked
What does the Cashfree Payments MCP do in Switchy?
It connects your Cashfree account so AI agents can query payment data, check transaction status, and retrieve settlement information without switching contexts. Your team asks questions about payments in natural language, and the MCP fetches live data from Cashfree's API. It doesn't initiate refunds or create payment links — it's read-only access for monitoring and reporting.
Do I need admin access to connect Cashfree via OAuth?
Yes. The OAuth flow requires permissions to read payment and settlement data from your Cashfree account. Only users with admin or API credential management rights in Cashfree can authorise the connection. Once connected, any Switchy workspace member you grant access to can query the data through AI agents without needing separate Cashfree logins.
Can the MCP initiate refunds or create new payment links?
No. This integration is read-only. It retrieves transaction history, settlement reports, and payment status but doesn't write data back to Cashfree. If your team needs to issue refunds or generate payment links, they still do that directly in the Cashfree dashboard or via your own application's integration.
How is this different from logging into Cashfree's dashboard?
The MCP lets AI agents pull payment data into conversations alongside other tools — Slack threads, Google Sheets, customer records. Instead of exporting CSVs or copying transaction IDs between tabs, your team asks questions in Switchy and gets answers that combine Cashfree data with context from other systems. The dashboard remains better for bulk operations and visual reports.
Who on the team should connect this integration?
Whoever manages your Cashfree account and understands which payment data your team needs access to. Typically that's a finance lead or operations manager. Once connected, you control which Switchy workspace members can query Cashfree data through role permissions. The connection itself doesn't count against Cashfree's API rate limits differently than direct usage would.
