Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"paypay": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "paypay-mcp"],
"env": {
"PAYPAY_API_KEY": "a_...",
"PAYPAY_API_SECRET": "...",
"PAYPAY_MERCHANT_ID": "...",
"PAYPAY_ENV": "sandbox"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add paypay -e PAYPAY_API_KEY=... -e PAYPAY_API_SECRET=... -e PAYPAY_MERCHANT_ID=... -- npx -y paypay-mcp
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the same shape as Claude Desktop.
Remote hosting
Run in HTTP mode. Public binds require MCP_AUTH_TOKEN; the server refuses to start otherwise.
MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
MCP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
MCP_AUTH_TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \
MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS="https://claude.ai,https://your-app.example.com" \
PAYPAY_ENV=sandbox \
PAYPAY_API_KEY=... PAYPAY_API_SECRET=... PAYPAY_MERCHANT_ID=... \
npx paypay-mcp
Endpoint: POST http(s)://<host>:3000/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport). Clients send Authorization: Bearer <MCP_AUTH_TOKEN>. CORS is closed by default.
For local testing the auth token can be omitted; the server binds to 127.0.0.1 and only accepts loopback connections.
Environments
Sandbox is the default. Production requires PayPay merchant onboarding (business verification and a contract) and must be enabled by explicitly setting PAYPAY_ENV=production.
Constraints
- Amounts are integer JPY.
- A payment can be canceled until 00:14:59 JST the day after the payment attempt. After that, use a refund.
- A single order can receive multiple partial refunds, each with a unique
merchantRefundId, up to the merchant-configured cap. - TLS 1.2+ required (Node 20+).
Development
git clone https://github.com/mrslbt/paypay-mcp.git
cd paypay-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run dev
npm test
npm run smoke
npm run build
Roadmap
v0.2: PreAuth + Capture, ContinuousPayments, DirectDebit, AccountLink QR, webhook signature verification, reconciliation tools.
v0.3: Native Payment (App Invoke + user JWT auth), Visa-partnership endpoints, OpenTelemetry tracing.
Safety
This server can move real money through the PayPay OPA API. Key safeguards:
- Refund and cancel tools are disabled by default.
refund_paymentandcancel_paymentare only registered whenPAYPAY_ENABLE_REFUNDS=trueorPAYPAY_ENABLE_CANCELS=true. Only enable them in trusted agent contexts where tool inputs cannot be influenced by untrusted content. - Sandbox is the default. Production requires an explicit
PAYPAY_ENV=production, plus completed PayPay merchant onboarding. Always test against sandbox first. - Unique merchantPaymentId and merchantRefundId per call. PayPay deduplicates by these IDs, so reusing one will either fail or target an older payment. Generate a fresh ID for each new payment or refund.
Even with these gates on, review any money-moving request before approving the tool call. Treat tool inputs derived from model output as untrusted.
