Agent Skills

Use SumUp Agent Skills in AI coding assistants when building payment integrations.

Agent Skills(Opens in a new tab) let AI coding assistants load focused instructions for specific tasks. We publish SumUp skills in the sumup/sumup-skills(Opens in a new tab) repository to help you build terminal and online payment integrations faster and with fewer mistakes.

  • sumup: Implementing SumUp checkout flows end-to-end across Checkouts API, Payment Widget, Hosted Checkout, recurring tokenization, and terminal flows.
  • sumup-best-practices: Choosing the right integration path and security posture across online, mobile, terminal SDK, and Cloud API integrations.
  • upgrade-sumup: Planning and executing SumUp API and SDK upgrades across server and mobile surfaces.
  • sumup-debug: Diagnosing integration failures such as webhook signature mismatches, scope issues, session expiry, widget failures, and duplicate refs.
  • sumup-mcp: Configuring and using the SumUp MCP server (https://mcp.sumup.com/mcp) from MCP-capable clients.
  • sumup-testing: Setting up sandbox test merchants, running success and failure scenarios, and validating end-to-end checkout behavior.

After installation, ask your assistant to use the relevant SumUp skill for checkout work, for example:

  • “Use $sumup to build a Cloud API payment flow for Solo.”
  • “Use $sumup to implement a Payment Widget checkout with server-side checkout creation.”
  • “Use $sumup-debug to troubleshoot 3DS and webhook handling for online payments.”

To install skills together with MCP configuration, follow Set up your AI assistant. The instructions below install skills on their own; they do not configure an MCP connection or require SumUp credentials.

If your assistant supports standard Agent Skills folders, install the SumUp skills with:

npx skills add https://github.com/sumup/sumup-skills

You can also clone the repository and copy the skill folders into your assistant’s skill directory.

Cursor ~/.cursor/skills/
OpenCode ~/.config/opencode/skills/
OpenAI Codex ~/.codex/skills/
