## AI overview

PayPal is beginning to roll out official Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers so developers can connect PayPal services to AI tools and MCP clients. The initial feature lets eligible merchants generate invoices and shareable invoice links conversationally, with remote MCP support and cloud authentication.

The following is a repost from the PayPal Developer Blog by Prakhar Mehrotra, SVP of Artificial Intelligence, PayPal At PayPal, we strive to make it easier for developers to access our services. Today, we are taking the first step to allow developers to embrace the new paradigm of agentic commerce by adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and placing our services on an MCP server. This puts the power of generative AI at our merchants' fingertips. MCP is a standard put forward by Anthropic that is being adopted by the world's leading AI companies to help standardize the way agents access data sources or third-party services, thereby enabling seamless integration-something that is paramount in AI-native, multi-agent systems. Starting today, developers can interact with PayPal's official MCP server to begin enabling next-generation, AI-driven capabilities for merchants. This includes remote MCP servers available with auth integration on the cloud. With remote MCP support, users can seamlessly continue their tasks across devices with simple logins after the authentication process. The availability of PayPal's MCP server will enable a range of conversational AI capabilities for merchants, which we will roll out in the coming months. To illustrate the power of this new technology, we're starting with PayPal Invoice feature, which is available today to eligible PayPal merchants. Our First MCP Feature: Invoicing Developers can now enable merchants who wish to utilize their preferred AI tools -- including LLMs -- to automatically generate invoices and shareable invoice links to send to their clients within their MCP host. This eliminates the need for merchants to visit the PayPal website or integrate using PayPal APIs for manual invoice creation, making the process of creating an invoice for a customer much faster, more intuitive, and easier to integrate into existing MCP clients. Let's say a PayPal merchant needs to create an invoice for a customer. Instead of creating one
