Charge, authorize, capture, refund, void and reverse Braintree payments, vault and delete payment methods, manage customers, and search transactions through the Braintree GraphQL API.
Braintree ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 20 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.braintreeBraintree is PayPal’s payment gateway. This app drives its GraphQL API: it charges or authorizes a vaulted or single-use payment method, captures an authorization in full or in part, and voids, refunds or reverses a transaction (reverse picks void or refund depending on settlement).
It also vaults and deletes payment methods, creates, reads, updates, deletes and searches customers, searches transactions by status, date, amount, order and customer, mints client tokens for the browser SDKs, and converts legacy REST/SDK ids to GraphQL ids.
One connection targets either the sandbox or the production environment and sends the API key as HTTP Basic. Health checks verify the credential and whether the GraphQL endpoint is answering.
Three routes to the same 20 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Braintree's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
client-token-create Mint a client token for the Braintree browser or mobile SDK. It is a credential for the client: do not log or store it.
customer-get Fetch a customer by GraphQL ID, including up to 50 stored payment methods.
customer-search Find customers by ID, email, name, company, phone or creation time (exact match), one page at a time.
customer-update Update a customer's contact details or custom fields. Unset fields are left as they are.
id-from-legacy Convert legacy ids (Control Panel, SDK, webhooks) of one type to the GraphQL ids every other action expects. Existence is not checked, except for payment methods.
payment-method-delete Remove a payment method from the vault. It can no longer be charged.
payment-method-get Fetch a payment method by GraphQL ID: usage, owning customer and masked card, PayPal, Venmo or bank details.
payment-method-vault Store a single-use payment method (a client-SDK nonce) in the vault so it can be charged repeatedly. Verification runs by default for types that support it.
transaction-authorize Authorize (hold) funds on a vaulted payment method or single-use nonce without settling; capture the transaction later.
transaction-capture Submit an authorized transaction for settlement, for its full amount or a lower one.
transaction-charge Charge a vaulted payment method or single-use nonce: authorizes and submits for settlement in one step.
transaction-get Fetch one transaction by GraphQL ID with its processor response, status history and refunds.
transaction-partial-capture Capture part of an authorization as a new child capture transaction; repeat until the final capture.
transaction-refund Refund a settled transaction in full or in part. The refund is a new object linked to the original.
transaction-reverse Undo a transaction in full whatever its settlement state: voids it if unsettled, refunds the full amount if settled.
transaction-search Search transactions by status, creation time, order ID, customer, merchant account and amount, one page at a time.
transaction-void Cancel an authorized or settling transaction before it settles. Fails once it has settled; use Reverse or Refund then.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Braintree's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Braintree, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Braintree. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.braintree#customer-get",
"input": {
"customerId": "<customerId>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Braintree connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Braintree's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Braintree itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Braintree declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
Unauthenticated `query { ping }` against this connection's environment. Braintree's documented AUTHENTICATION error is the expected healthy answer; credential validity is the `auth:api-keys` check's job.
