Paddle

This MCP server enables AI assistants and agents to interact with Paddle Billing through a rich set of tools. You can manage products, prices, customers, subscriptions, transactions, reports, and more directly from conversation, enabling automated workflows and quick troubleshooting.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the Paddle MCP server using an MCP URL or a local stdio setup. Once connected, you can call tools to perform actions such as listing products, creating a product, updating a price, or generating an invoice PDF. You can combine multiple actions in a single conversational flow to automate common Paddle Billing tasks, for example creating a subscription, adding a customer address, and previewing a transaction before finalizing it.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing:
- Node.js and npm or npx installed on your machine
- Access to Paddle Billing with an API key for sandbox or production environments
- An MCP client capable of loading an MCP server via one of the supported installation methods

Configuration and usage notes

To run the Paddle MCP server through a client, configure the MCP settings with either command-line arguments or environment variables shown below. You must replace your_api_key with your actual Paddle API key and set the environment to sandbox or production. You can also filter which tools are loaded by selecting non-destructive, read-only, or all tools.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paddle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@paddle/paddle-mcp",
        "--api-key=your_api_key",
        "--environment=sandbox",
        "--tools=non-destructive"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Security and keys

Keep your Paddle API key secure. Do not share it in public scripts or repositories. Use environment variables or secret management features of your deployment platform when possible.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter connection issues, verify that the API key is valid for the selected environment and that your MCP client is configured to load the Paddle MCP server. Check that the environment is set to sandbox or production and that the required tools are loaded.
