Introduction

PayU MCP Server provides specialized integration that enables AI tools to securely access PayU payment APIs through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration allows AI assistants to create payment links, retrieve transaction details, and access invoice information directly, making your payment workflows smarter and more efficient.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you're building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need. For more information, refer to Model Context Protocol.

MCP Approach:

  • Abstracted authentication: MCP handles the security implementation details
  • Consistent security model: Single authentication method for all tool interactions
  • Built-in validation: Input validation built into the tool interfaces

MCP Advantages

  • Designed specifically for AI interaction: MCP Server is built from the ground up to enable AI tools and assistants to communicate with PayU's payment ecosystem
  • Contextual understanding: The protocol is designed to let AI models understand the payment context without extensive custom coding
  • Simplified tool interfaces: Pre-built tools like the following:
Tool NameDescription
create-payment-linkGenerate a new payment link for your customers
get-invoice-detailsRetrieve comprehensive details for any invoice ID
get-transaction-detailsAccess complete transaction information
  • Other Benefits:
    • Fewer integration points: MCP Server acts as a unified gateway to multiple PayU services
    • Standardized communication: Consistent protocol for requesting all payment services
    • Reduced boilerplate code: Common payment workflows are already encapsulated as tools
    • Python-native implementation: Simple Python library integration (requires Python 3.10+)

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • PayU Merchant Account with API access
  • MCP-compatible AI client (Claude AI, etc.)

For the steps to install, refer to Install and Configure MCP.
