Razorpay MCP server

The Razorpay MCP Server provides seamless integration with Razorpay APIs through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling advanced payment processing capabilities for developers and AI tools. It can be used for workflow automation and building AI-powered tools that interact with Razorpay's payment ecosystem.

Setup Options

Remote MCP Server (Recommended)

The Remote MCP Server is hosted by Razorpay and provides instant access without any local setup.

Benefits

• Zero setup - no Docker or Go required
• Always updated with latest features
• High availability with 99.9% uptime
• Reduced latency with optimized routing
• Enhanced security with token-based authentication
• No maintenance required

Prerequisites

You need Node.js installed on your system which includes npx:

# Verify installation
npx --version

Authentication

The Remote MCP Server requires merchant token authentication:

1. Access your API Key and Secret from the Razorpay Dashboard under Settings > API Keys
2. Generate your merchant token:

   echo <RAZORPAY_API_KEY>:<RAZORPAY_API_SECRET> | base64
   

3. Use the resulting base64-encoded output as your merchant token

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "rzp-sse-mcp-server" '{"command":"npx","args":["mcp-remote","https://mcp.razorpay.com/sse","--header","Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"],"env":{"AUTH_HEADER":"Bearer <Base64(key:secret)>"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For 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 > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

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

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "rzp-sse-mcp-server": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://mcp.razorpay.com/sse",
                "--header",
                "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
            ],
            "env": {
                "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <Base64(key:secret)>"
            }
        }
    }
}

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 explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "rzp-sse-mcp-server": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://mcp.razorpay.com/sse",
                "--header",
                "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
            ],
            "env": {
                "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <Base64(key:secret)>"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
