PayPal MCP Server
Connect PayPal to your AI agents with the PayPal MCP server.
Updated
What is PayPal MCP?
The PayPal MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects PayPal to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with PayPal (commerce, payments, inventory, shipping, refunds) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.
It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the PayPal tools become available to the model.
