PayPal
Access PayPal payments platform
The PayPal MCP server enables AI agents to interact with the PayPal platform. PayPal is a global online payments system that supports online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. This MCP server allows AI assistants to programmatically access and manage PayPal account information, transaction details, payment processing, and potentially other financial services offered by PayPal.
Want skills and commands too? PayPal is also available as a Claude Code plugin.
