description: takepayments (a trading name of Payzone UK Limited) is a United Kingdom payment gateway and merchant-services
  provider that lets businesses accept card payments online, in person, and over the phone. Its online payment gateway offers
  Hosted (redirect) and Direct (server-to-server) integrations for e-commerce checkouts, delivered as SOAP v1.1 XML and HTTPS
  form-POST requests authenticated with a merchant ID and a pre-shared-key signature hash, alongside ready-made shopping-cart
  plugins and backend SDK code packs. Its newer Terminal API is a modern REST/JSON surface hosted on Azure API Management,
  secured with OAuth 2.0 client-credentials via Microsoft Azure AD, that pairs and drives card machines (Move5000, PAX A920
  Pro) for Start-Transaction, Pairing, Split Bill & Gratuity, and Pay at Table flows. takepayments runs a real public developer
  portal at developer.takepayments.com but does not publish a downloadable OpenAPI/Swagger definition; its API reference is
  documentation-only, and merchant onboarding is sales-led rather than open self-serve.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
