PayPal MCP server

Short answer: Yes. PayPal has an official MCP server: com.paypal.mcp/mcp, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified mcp.paypal.com domain and hosted at https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp.

This page covers the official server for PayPal and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.

Is there an official PayPal MCP server?

Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. These 2 entries are published under PayPal's own namespace: com.paypal.mcp/mcp, io.github.paypal/paypal-mcp-server. 4 community servers are listed too.

How do I connect the PayPal MCP server to Claude?

The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.

In Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http paypal https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp

Does the PayPal MCP server work with ChatGPT?

A hosted endpoint is available at https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.

How do I add it to Cursor?

Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paypal": {
      "url": "https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
