1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"paypal","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. PayPal is hosted by PayPal, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) 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.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
