MCP Quick Setup

Get started with PayU Remote MCP for Merchants in three simple steps.

Step 1: Configure Your MCP Client

Add the PayU Remote MCP service URL to your MCP client configuration.

For Cursor IDE

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "payu-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.payu.in/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop

Edit the configuration file based on your operating system:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "payu-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.payu.in/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

For Other MCP Clients

Use the following configuration values:

Step 2: Authenticate

When you first use the service:

1. Your client automatically discovers authentication requirements
2. A browser window opens for PayU login
3. Enter your credentials and approve access
4. Client securely stores authentication tokens

📘

Note

You won't need to authenticate again unless the token expires. Tokens typically last several hours and are automatically refreshed by your client.

Step 3: Start Using Tools

Use natural language with your AI assistant to interact with PayU services:

"Show me transactions for the last 7 days"
"Process a refund for transaction TX-12345"
"Check the status of settlement S-567890"

Verification

To verify your setup is working correctly:

1. Open your MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)
2. Try a simple query: "What merchant accounts do I have access to?"
3. If prompted, complete the authentication flow in your browser
4. You should receive a response listing your merchant accounts
