Cashfree MCP Server

Cashfree MCP server allows AI tools and agents to integrate with Cashfree APIs (Payment Gateway, Payouts, and SecureID) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Setup

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/cashfree/cashfree-mcp.git
cd cashfree-mcp

Install Dependencies

Before installing, ensure you have Node.js v14.x or higher installed. If you're using nvm or brew, make sure the correct version is active:

node -v
# Should output v14.x or higher

Step 1: Install project dependencies

npm install

This will install all required packages listed in package.json.

💡 If you're using Node.js >=18, you might face peer dependency issues with packages like undici. In that case, upgrade Node.js to >=20.18.1 or adjust the package version if needed.

Step 2: Build the project

npm run build

This compiles the source files to the dist/ directory, which is required to run the MCP server.

🛠️ If you see errors related to missing files in /dist, ensure you've run the build step successfully.

You will need a Cashfree account with API credentials (we support both sandbox and production keys). You can use Cashfree MCP in your favorite client, some sample configurations are shown below:
