## What this server does

PayPal's MCP server wraps the PayPal REST API so the assistant can create invoices, orders, and payments and read transaction history. Set the environment to SANDBOX while you build, then switch to LIVE only when the flow is verified. The access token scopes what the server can do; mint a token with only the permissions you need. Useful for invoicing workflows, reconciliation questions, and order management from chat.

## Tools included

-   create\_invoice
    
    Create and optionally send an invoice.
    
-   list\_transactions
    
    List recent transactions.
    
-   create\_order
    
    Create a checkout order.
    
-   capture\_order
    
    Capture payment for an approved order.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Install in ToolPiper

ToolPiper handles the JSON configuration. Click Install, fill in any required tokens, and the server is ready in your chat.

## Example prompts

-   "Create a sandbox invoice for 120 dollars to client@example.com for consulting."
    
    Copy

    Copy
-   "Create a checkout order for two items and give me the approval link."
    
    Copy

## Security notes

The access token can move money on a LIVE account. Keep PAYPAL\_ENVIRONMENT on SANDBOX until you trust the flow, and mint a token scoped to the minimum permissions. Tokens are short-lived but still sensitive; treat them like passwords and do not commit them. Revoke the app credentials at developer.paypal.com if anything leaks.
