The SolvaPay admin MCP Server lets providers manage a SolvaPay account directly from any AI assistant that supports MCP. Instead of switching between your IDE and the SolvaPay Console, you can ask your assistant to create customers, check revenue, process refunds, manage purchases, and generate checkout sessions.

​
What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI assistants (like Cursor, Claude, and others) to connect to external tools and data sources. When you connect SolvaPay as an MCP server, your AI assistant gains access to tools that cover the full SolvaPay API.

​
Prerequisites

  • A SolvaPay account — sign up here if you don’t have one
  • An AI assistant that supports MCP (Claude.ai, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.)

​
Authentication

How you authenticate depends on your MCP client:
  • OAuth-capable clients (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop) — You log in with your SolvaPay Console credentials directly. No API key required. The MCP server redirects you to the SolvaPay login page, and after you sign in and authorize, the client receives a token automatically.
  • Config-based clients (Cursor, VS Code, other editors) — These clients don’t support OAuth for MCP. You’ll need an API key from Settings > API Keys in SolvaPay Console and add it to your client configuration.
API keys are prefixed with sk_sandbox_ (sandbox / test data) or sk_live_ (production). Use sandbox keys during development and testing.

​
What can you do?

Once connected, you can manage your entire SolvaPay account through natural conversation:
  • “Create a customer for jane@acme.com” — creates a customer record
  • “How much revenue has support-bot generated?” — checks product revenue
  • “Refund $25 from transaction txn_D7E8F9G0” — processes a partial refund
  • “Check if customer cus_A1B2C3D4 has hit their usage limits” — checks billing limits
See the full list of available tools and detailed examples.

​
Claude.ai connector

SolvaPay works as a native Claude.ai connector. Add it in Settings > Connectors — no local setup, config files, or API keys required. Claude handles the OAuth flow automatically and redirects you to the SolvaPay login page to sign in. See the installation guide for details.

​
Admin MCP Server vs MCP Pay

The SolvaPay admin MCP Server is for provider account operations. Think of it as a conversational admin layer for your SolvaPay account. MCP Pay is a separate product for hosted MCP auth and monetization of your own MCP servers.
