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
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)"]
}
}
}
Replace PADDLE_API_KEY with your API key, and pass the correct value as environment.
For detailed setup guides, see:
