See how Pine Labs MCP Server turns natural-language prompts into Pine Labs API calls. Each example below shows the prompt you give your AI assistant and the tool the MCP Server invokes behind the scenes.

## Talk to Pine Labs through your AI assistant

### 1. Generate a payment link

> 💬 **Prompt:** *"Send a ₹500 payment link to john@example.com"*

The assistant invokes `create_payment_link` with:

- `amount_value: 50000`
- `currency: "INR"`
- `customer_email: "john@example.com"`

→ Returns a short URL the customer can use to pay instantly.

### 2. Look up an order

> 💬 **Prompt:** *"What's the status of order v1-4405071524-aa-qlAtAf?"*

The assistant calls `get_order_by_order_id` and returns the full order payload — status, payment method, captured amount, customer info, and timestamps.

### 3. Cancel a payment link

> 💬 **Prompt:** *"Please cancel payment link pl-v1-5757575757-aa-hU1rUd"*

The assistant triggers `cancel_payment_link` for that ID. The link transitions to `CANCELLED` and can no longer accept payments.

### 4. Re-notify a customer

> 💬 **Prompt:** *"Resend the payment link notification for pl-v1-5757575757-aa-hU1rUd"*

The assistant calls `resend_payment_link_notification` so the customer receives the link again on the original channel (email or SMS).
