Paddle
Merchant of record for SaaS, apps and AI products; payments, tax and subscriptions in one integration.
Updated Sep 27, 2026
Overview
Paddle is a merchant of record for SaaS, mobile app, AI and digital product companies: it takes care of payments, tax, fraud and compliance and manages subscriptions in a single integration. These files cover Paddle Billing; the legacy Paddle Classic is a separate product with a different API.
Instead of one tool per API operation, the hosted MCP server has three tools:
search finds an API method and its parameters, execute runs JavaScript that
chains one or more API calls, and report_missing_tool flags a gap to Paddle.
The live server signs in with OAuth and starts with read access to what your
Paddle role permits; grant write access, or remove the connection, under
Paddle > Connectors > MCP. The sandbox server
(https://sandbox-mcp.paddle.com/mcp) and sandbox API
(https://sandbox-api.paddle.com) take a sandbox API key instead. The API uses
Bearer API keys created under Paddle > Developer tools > Authentication, each
with only the permissions it needs.
