Key features

The PayPal agent toolkit enables you to:

• Integrate with PayPal APIs to access orders, invoices, subscriptions, shipment tracking, transaction details, and dispute management through pre-built functions.

• Develop with your preferred tools, including:

  • AI agent frameworks like OpenAI’s Agents SDK, Vercel’s AI SDK, Model Context Protocol (MCP), LangChain, and CrewAI

  • Multiple languages, including TypeScript and Python

• Build custom agent capabilities to extend core PayPal features and connect with other toolkits to create multi-step agent workflows.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) facilitates the management and transmission of relevant information to models, ensuring their effective operation within specified contexts. Leveraging this technology, PayPal developed an MCP server that enables merchants to interact with their preferred MCP clients using natural language. This functionality allows users to efficiently perform various business tasks with their choice of MCP client.

Examples in this content use Claude as the MCP client, but you can use any MCP client that you prefer, such as Cursor or Cline.
