Shieldz MCP tools 3
create_payment_linkCreate a one-time crypto payment link with ZERO setup, no account, no API key. Give a destination wallet address and an amount; get back a shareable pay_url, an embeddable button, and a manage_url. Non-custodial: funds settle directly to the address you provide. Optionally pass an email so the owner can claim a full dashboard later.create_tip_jarCreate a reusable 'pay what you want' tip jar with ZERO setup, no account, no API key. The payer chooses the amount. Returns a shareable /tip url, an embeddable button, and a manage_url. Idempotent per wallet address: calling again updates the same tip jar. Non-custodial: funds settle directly to the address you provide.get_account_statusLook up a keyless Shieldz account by its manage_token (returned when you create a payment link or tip jar). Returns settlement details, tip jars, totals (paid/pending), and the full invoice list as structured JSON.
