Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add paypal-mcp-server -- npx -y @paypal/mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PAYPAL_ACCESS_TOKEN (YOUR_PAYPAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ref: https://docs.paypal.ai/developer/how-to/api/get-started ), PAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT ('SANDBOX' or 'LIVE'). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Paypal MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Paypal MCP Server?

Paypal MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @paypal/mcp was installed 578 times last week.

How do I connect Paypal MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @paypal/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Paypal MCP Server?

The npm package @paypal/mcp was installed 578 times in the last week. Week over week that is +22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Paypal MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 12 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
