PayPal MCP server

OfficialPayPal10Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

PayPal's official remote MCP server brings invoicing, orders, and payments into agentic commerce.

PayPal MCP is PayPal's official remote server for agentic commerce. It exposes the PayPal agent toolkit so an AI agent can create and manage invoices, handle orders and payments, and work with the surrounding commerce primitives, with restricted tool visibility so users and the model only see the tools their token permits. A sandbox endpoint mirrors production so you can build and test against fake money before going live.

The production endpoint is https://mcp.paypal.com, with a Streamable HTTP transport at /http and an SSE transport at /sse. Authentication uses your PayPal client credentials, the client ID and secret from the PayPal Developer Dashboard, supplied through the authorization flow. Because real funds are involved, scope the credentials tightly and keep a human in the loop for irreversible actions.
