Introduction

MCP Server for Paddle Billing

Paddle Billing is the developer-first merchant of record. We take care of payments, tax, subscriptions, and metrics with one unified API that does it all.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with the Paddle API.

Important: This MCP server works with Paddle Billing. It does not support Paddle Classic. To work with Paddle Classic, see: Paddle Classic API reference

Features

  • List products in your Paddle catalog
  • Create new products
  • List prices for products
  • Create new prices for products
  • List customers
  • List transactions
  • List subscriptions
  • Create custom reports for financial analysis

Installation

To use the MCP server, you'll need an API key. You can create and manage API keys in Paddle > Developer tools > Authentication:

  • Sandbox: https://sandbox-vendors.paddle.com/authentication-v2
  • Live: https://vendors.paddle.com/authentication-v2

You can run the Paddle MCP server using npx with the following command:

npx -y @paddle/paddle-mcp --api-key=PADDLE_API_KEY --environment=(sandbox|production)

Replace PADDLE_API_KEY with your API key, and pass the correct value as environment.

To run the server in a client like Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf, add the following to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paddle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@paddle/paddle-mcp", "--api-key=PADDLE_API_KEY", "--environment=(sandbox|production)"]
    }
  }
}

For detailed setup guides, see:
