What is the MCP MCP server?

MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. PayPal MCP Pack — read-only access to PayPal transactions, orders, invoices, and disputes.

What the assistant can call

Once MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • paypal_list_transactions — Find PayPal transactions within a date range. Returns amount, status, payer info, and transaction IDs. Use to audit payments or track cash flow
  • paypal_get_order — Get full details of a PayPal order by ID (e.g., "3JU84394D694620H"). Returns buyer info, items, amounts, and fulfillment status
  • paypal_list_invoices — List your PayPal invoices. Returns invoice numbers, amounts, statuses, and dates. Use to track billing and outstanding payments
  • paypal_get_invoice — Get full details of a PayPal invoice by ID. Returns line items, amounts, due dates, and payment status
  • paypal_list_disputes — List chargebacks and claims against your account. Returns dispute IDs, amounts, statuses, and reasons

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Choosing this one

This sits in the payments and commerce group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP's toolset — paypal_list_transactions, paypal_get_order, paypal_list_invoices and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mojibake-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
