The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the Checkout.com listing page.
Give your AI agent a working knowledge of Checkout.com — the current API reference, the integration guides, and the ability to act on real payments, without leaving your editor.
Or, in Claude Code:
Then sign in with your Checkout.com Dashboard account. It's a remote server — nothing to install, host, or keep updated, and no API keys to paste into a config file.
Ask a general-purpose coding agent to integrate a payments API and it will improvise: invented fields, endpoints that no longer exist, request bodies that look right and fail in testing. This server replaces that guesswork with grounded answers.
Your MCP client shows the full tool list the moment it connects.
Build and debug your integration
Which API operations and fields do I need to take a payment with PayPal?

You need an active Checkout.com Dashboard account. Authentication is OAuth 2.0: your client discovers the authorization server and opens a browser for you to sign in. No API keys are involved.
The agent inherits your permissions and nothing more. It can only perform an operation your Dashboard user is already allowed to perform — to refund a payment, for instance, your user needs the Refund payments permission.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add the server, then run /mcp to trigger the sign-in flow:
VS Code — open the Command Palette, run MCP: Open User Configuration, and add:
Save, then run MCP: List Servers, select the Checkout MCP, and choose Start to sign in.
Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or your project's .cursor/mcp.json:
To disconnect, disable the server in your client's MCP settings or delete it from the config file.
This repository holds the server.json metadata that lists the server in the
official MCP Registry. The server itself is
hosted and operated by Checkout.com
