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

You sign in with OAuth in every client that supports remote MCP servers, including Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. No API key required. The client opens the SolvaPay login page, and after you sign in and authorize, it receives a token automatically. See Installation for each client’s setup. OAuth sessions work on the environment your account is in. A new account starts in sandbox, and when you switch between sandbox and production in SolvaPay Console, the next tool call uses the new environment. You don’t need to reconnect. Each tool result starts with an Environment: sandbox or Environment: live line (live is production), so you can see which data a call used. Use a secret API key only from a client that can’t open a browser. See Use an API key instead.

​
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 Managed MCP

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