Work with PayPal invoices, orders, products, subscriptions, disputes and transactions.

Official serverRemotePayments

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

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

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. PayPal is hosted by PayPal, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something PayPal can do. Work with PayPal invoices, orders, products, subscriptions, disputes and transactions. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
