Create invoices and manage orders, refunds, disputes and subscriptions in PayPal.
Officialby PayPalHosted or on your computerChecked October 18, 2026
PayPal's MCP server lets Claude work with a PayPal business account: invoices, orders, refunds, disputes, shipment tracking, products, subscription plans and transaction history. PayPal hosts it for production and sandbox with a browser sign-in, and also publishes a local npm package that uses an access token.
Who it is for
- Small businesses and freelancers who bill through PayPal
- Online sellers handling refunds and disputes
- Developers testing PayPal flows in the sandbox
Prompts to try
Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.

How we checked it
Checked PayPal's MCP server docs (last updated June 2026), the paypal/paypal-mcp-server repo and npm package @paypal/mcp, the MCP registry entry (com.paypal.mcp/mcp) and the Claude connectors directory listing; the hosted /mcp endpoint answers with an OAuth challenge.
