Applies to:Developers

The Payabli MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects your AI agents to Payabli’s documentation and SDK references. Set up the Payabli MCP server in your IDE or AI chat to get help with your Payabli integration.

For more information about the Model Context Protocol, visit the MCP docs.

If your AI agent supports MCP, you can set up the Payabli MCP Server to give your AI agent knowledge about Payabli’s APIs and SDK. The Payabli MCP server lets you:

  • Get instant answers to questions about Payabli APIs, features, and implementation
  • Search documentation without leaving your development environment
  • Find code examples and best practices for common use cases
  • Troubleshoot issues with guidance from our documentation and SDK references
  • Write code that integrates your application with Payabli
