Questions

What is the Paypal MCP server?

A command line tool for setting up PayPal MCP server. It is made by @paypal and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.paypal/paypal-mcp-server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Paypal to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add paypal-mcp-server -e PAYPAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=… -e PAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT=… -- npx -y @paypal/mcp@1.8.1

How do I add Paypal to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and Paypal runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add Paypal to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "paypal-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@paypal/mcp@1.8.1" ] } } }

Does Paypal work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
