03 · What Braintree can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can capture a previously authorized transaction via captureTransaction, delete a vaulted payment method via deletePaymentMethodFromVault, create a Braintree customer via createCustomer, and update an existing Braintree customer via updateCustomer.

Limitations (from the README)

- Amount is a string in Braintree GraphQL (e.g. "10.50"), not a number. The server forwards whatever shape the agent passes; strings are the safe default. - Braintree's GraphQL schema evolves; some input fields not exposed in the MCP inputSchema can still be passed in additional / nested objects and will be forwarded.
