Overview

This section provides an overview of the Documentation Assistant, including features, benefits, and privacy and security information. The Nuvei Documentation Assistant is exposed as a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at: https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse

About the Documentation Assistant

The Nuvei Documentation Assistant is an AI-powered tool that helps you find answers about Nuvei’s payment platform directly inside the AI coding assistant you already use.

You can connect this MCP server to your AI-powered agent (for example: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and so on). Once connected, you can ask questions or give directives in natural language and obtain accurate, up-to-date answers sourced from Nuvei’s official documentation.

Typical prompts:

• “How do I integrate Nuvei’s payment SDK?”
• “Show me how to process a credit card payment.”
• “What parameters does the payment API accept?”
• “How do I handle webhook notifications?”
• “Give me an example of a 3D Secure transaction.”

Features

• Instant answers – No more searching manually through long documentation pages. Ask a question and get a clear, focused answer in seconds.
• Source citations – Every answer includes links to Nuvei’s official documentation so you can verify information and dive deeper when needed.
• Always up to date – The Documentation Assistant uses the latest Nuvei docs, so you’re always working with current information.
• Context-aware help – The Documentation Assistant understands payment terminology and common integration flows, and can help with (for example):
  • API integration steps
  • Code examples
  • Best practices
  • Troubleshooting common issues
  • SDK usage patterns

Benefits

This section outlines key benefits of using the Documentation Assistant.

• Save time – Find answers in seconds instead of searching through documentation manually.

• Reduce errors – Answers are grounded in Nuvei’s official docs, helping you implement features correctly.

• Learn faster – Explanations and examples help you understand payment concepts and Nuvei-specific flows quickly.

• Build confidently – You always have quick access to best practices, working examples, and verified information.

Privacy and Security

This section provides information about privacy and security in relation to the Documentation Assistant.

• Secure queries – Your questions are processed securely. The MCP server is read-only over HTTPS and only serves documentation content.

• No payment data required – You should never send real card data, credentials, or other sensitive information within your prompts. Use test data or describe the issue in abstract terms.

• No sensitive data stored – Nuvei does not store payment data or sensitive personal information from your prompts. Prompt content may be used in an aggregated/anonymized way to improve answer quality and documentation coverage.

• Enterprise-grade standards – The Documentation Assistant is built to align with Nuvei’s existing security and compliance standards. It is a safe, read-only companion to your integration work.

The Nuvei Documentation Assistant gives your existing AI coding tools deep knowledge of Nuvei’s platform. Connect the MCP server once and your agent becomes a Nuvei-aware copilot that helps you integrate faster, with fewer errors, and with much less time spent hunting through docs.

How It Works – High-level Flow

1. Confirm that your AI agent (such as Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and so on) supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
2. Configure your AI agent to use the Nuvei MCP server at https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse.
3. When you ask Nuvei-related questions, the agent calls the MCP server, which:
   1. Searches Nuvei documentation.
   2. Returns relevant sections and metadata.
4. The AI agent uses the context to generate an answer, with links to the documents.

Getting Started – Connecting the MCP Server

The following are examples of configurations for popular environments and can be considered as templates. Paths and user-interfaces may vary between versions and setups.

1 – Generic MCP Configuration Pattern

Most MCP-compatible tools use a JSON configuration that appears typically as:

{
"nuvei-docs": {
"url": "

https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse

",
"type": "sse"
}
}

• The key name value (nuvei-docs) is used by your AI agent to refer to the server.
• The url value is Nuvei’s public MCP endpoint.
• The type value is the transport. For this server, use sse unless your client explicitly requires a different value.

2 – Example for VS Code with an MCP-enabled Agent (for example, GitHub Copilot, Claude)

If your VS Code setup supports MCP via an mcp.json file, you can add Nuvei as follows:

a. Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
"servers": {
"nuvei-docs": {
"url": "https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse",
"type": "sse"
}
}
}

b. then:

1. Reload VS Code.
2. Open your AI chat (such as Copilot Chat, Claude extension, and so on).
3. Ask a Nuvei question (for example, “How do I process a credit card payment with Nuvei?”).

c. Depending on your agent, you might need to:

• Select the Nuvei tools from a user-interface list
  or
• Mention the tool explicitly (for example, ‘@nuvei’ or by enabling the “nuvei-docs” server in settings).

3 – Example for Cursor

Cursor uses a global MCP config file, typically at ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

a. Add the Nuvei server:

{
"mcpServers": {
"nuvei-docs": {
"url": "https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse",
"type": "sse"
}
}
}

b. Restart Cursor.

c. Open the chat or agent panel and ask a Nuvei-related question. Cursor uses the nuvei-docs MCP server behind the scenes to pull in documentation context.

4 – Example for Claude Desktop or Claude Code

Claude typically uses a claude_desktop_config.json file (location varies by operating system) with an mcpServers section.

a. Add the following:

{
"mcpServers": {
"nuvei-docs": {
"url": "

https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse

",
"type": "sse"
}
}
}

b. Save.

c. Restart Claude Desktop or the Claude Code plugin.

d. Ask Nuvei questions in the chat (for example: “What parameters does the Nuvei payment API accept?”).

5 – Example for Windsurf

Windsurf usually exposes the MCP configuration via a graphic user-interface and/or an underlying mcp_config.json.

a. In the raw config, add the following:

{
"mcpServers": {
"nuvei-docs": {
"url": "https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse",
"type": "sse"
}
}
}

b. Reload Windsurf.

c. Use the Windsurf AI agent (such a Cascade) to ask Nuvei questions.

6 – For Other MCP-compatible Tools

If you are using any other MCP-compatible tool (such as a custom internal agent), do the following:

1. In the MCP-compatible tool, refer to MCP-configuration documentation about how to add an MCP server.
2. Add a server entry using the following parameters and values:
   1. Name: nuvei-docs
   2. url: https://mcp.nuvei.com/sse
   3. type(transport): sse or whichever remote transport the client expects; if the client does not support SSE directly, refer to the client documentation for more information).
3. For the agent to pick up the new server, restart or reload the agent.
4. Any Nuvei-related question your agent sends to the nuvei-docs server are answered using Nuvei documentation.

Using the Documentation Assistant

After your MCP server is configured and your agent recognizes nuvei-docs, the workflow is as follows:

1. Open your AI chat panel in your IDE/agent.
2. Ask a question or provide a directive in natural language, for example:
   1. “How do I integrate Nuvei’s payment SDK in Node.js?”
   2. “Show me how to process a credit card payment with Nuvei.”
   3. “What parameters does the Nuvei payment API accept?”
   4. “How do I handle webhook notifications for Nuvei?”
3. The agent does the following:
   1. Calls the Nuvei MCP server.
   2. Retrieves relevant documentation sections.
   3. Generates an answer and usually includes inline explanations and documentation links.

Example Prompts

The following are examples of prompts you can use:

Integration

• “How do I initialize the Nuvei payment form?”
• “What’s the process for tokenizing a credit card?”
• “Show me how to implement Apple Pay with Nuvei.”

Troubleshooting

• “Why is my payment failing with error code 1001?”
• “How do I test payments in sandbox mode?”
• “What should I do if a webhook isn’t received?”

API Reference

• “What are the required fields for a payment request?”
• “How do I refund a transaction?”
• “Which response codes should I handle for declines?”
