Flutterwave MCP server

An MCP server that enables AI assistants to interact with Flutterwave, providing various payment processing capabilities. This implementation follows the Model Context Protocol standard and offers tools for confirming transactions, sending failed hooks, generating payment links, and more.

Installation

To use the Flutterwave MCP server, you need to have Node.js installed on your system. Then you can run it directly using npx without installing it permanently:

npx -y mcp-flutterwave

Configuration with Claude Desktop

To configure the MCP server with Claude Desktop, modify your claude_desktop_config.json file by adding the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flutterwave": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
          "-y",
          "mcp-flutterwave",
          "--tools=checkout.create",
          "--secret-key=FLW_SECRET_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace FLW_SECRET_KEY with your actual Flutterwave secret key.

Available Tools

The MCP server provides several tools for interacting with Flutterwave:

Transaction Management

• Confirm Transactions
• Send Failed Hooks
• Retry Failed Transactions (automatically retry transactions with recoverable errors)
• Retrieve Transaction History (fetch and analyze past transactions)

Payment Processing

• Generate Payment Links

Support

• Automated Customer Support (AI chatbot integrated with Flutterwave for transaction inquiries)

Usage Options

When starting the server, you can specify which tools to enable using the --tools parameter. For example, to only enable the payment link creation feature:

npx -y mcp-flutterwave --tools=checkout.create --secret-key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Multiple tools can be enabled by separating them with commas:

npx -y mcp-flutterwave --tools=checkout.create,transaction.verify --secret-key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Required Parameters

• --secret-key: Your Flutterwave secret key is required for authentication with the Flutterwave API

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
