PayPal provides online payments, merchant checkout, invoicing, subscriptions, payouts, and related financial services. Its developer platform also includes Braintree payment infrastructure and AI-oriented tooling such as an MCP server.
PayPal exposes authenticated PayPal REST APIs, the Braintree GraphQL API, a remote MCP server at `https://mcp.paypal.com/mcp`, and a local MCP CLI package `@paypal/mcp`.

Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so the client registers itself automatically — no developer-portal app, client_id, or client_secret to create.
First get a PayPal app client ID and client secret from Apps & Credentials. Then exchange them for an access token by POSTing grant_type=client_credentials to https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token (or the live host) using HTTP Basic auth with client_id:client_secret. Send the returned token as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Create a Braintree Sandbox account or use your Braintree merchant account, then follow the GraphQL guide's auth flow to obtain an access token for Braintree Auth credentials. Use the token in the Authorization header for GraphQL requests.
