Paypal Mcp Server
This connects Claude directly to PayPal's APIs for payments, invoicing, subscriptions, and order management. You get 30+ tools out of the box: create and send invoices, process orders and refunds, manage disputes, track shipments, handle catalog products, and run subscription billing. It works in both sandbox and production modes, authenticating with PayPal access tokens you generate from your developer dashboard. The setup is straightforward through npx, and you can enable all tools at once or pick specific ones. Useful when you're building payment workflows, need to automate invoice generation, or want conversational access to PayPal operations without writing integration code yourself.
