Overview

What is Paypal?

The PayPal Agent Toolkit enables popular agent frameworks (OpenAI Agent SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, and Model Context Protocol) to integrate with PayPal APIs through function calling. It is built on top of PayPal APIs and SDKs and supports TypeScript. It is for developers building AI-powered payment workflows.

How to use Paypal?

Install the package with npm install @paypal/agent-toolkit. For MCP, run npx -y @paypal/mcp --tools=all with environment variables PAYPAL_ACCESS_TOKEN and PAYPAL_ENVIRONMENT (set to SANDBOX or PRODUCTION). Configure with credentials from the PayPal Developer Dashboard. Integrate with MCP hosts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot) by adding the server configuration to the host's config file.
