Use the PayPal MCP server
in Claude

Invoices, orders, and transactions from your PayPal account, on demand. This guide connects PayPal to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: PayPal in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect PayPal to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something PayPal can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

What to ask once it’s connected

“List all unpaid invoices and who owes what.”
“Create an invoice for this client and this amount.”
“Summarize this month's transactions.”
“What's the status of order #8231?”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same PayPal connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool PayPal exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with PayPal — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

PayPal passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
