Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it, filling in the environment variables with your own values.
  3. Restart the agent — the "PayPal" tools will be available.

        "-y",
        "@paypal/mcp",

Description

PayPal's official MCP server, part of its agent toolkit, gives an assistant access to PayPal's merchant APIs.

What it covers
  • Invoicing — create, send, and track invoices, and generate payment links
  • Orders — create and capture orders, and look up their status
  • Subscriptions — manage products, billing plans, and subscriber records
  • Transactions — search and report on payment history
  • Disputes — list and inspect cases, and respond to them
  • Shipment tracking attached to transactions
Realistic uses

Generating an invoice from a description of the work, reconciling a period's transactions, investigating why a specific payment failed, and setting up subscription plans without navigating the merchant dashboard.

Security posture

This touches money. Use sandbox credentials while developing, scope the access token to the minimum set of operations, and treat any tool that creates or captures a payment as requiring explicit confirmation rather than autonomous action.

Runs with npx -y @paypal/mcp --tools=all, with tool selection available to narrow what the assistant can reach.
