Developer MCP Server

Last updated: April 29, 2026

The Checkout.com Developer Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server enables you to query and leverage technical documentation directly from your AI-assisted integrated development environment (IDE).

The MCP provides access to the content on this technical documentation site, as well as the OpenAPI specification used to build the API reference. It acts as a production-ready source of truth for AI tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor, with the following benefits:

Guided onboarding. Ask your AI agent to use the Guide tool to help you choose the best integration path for your use case and tech stack.
In-app information. Search through the docs, browse API schemas, and read integration guides directly from within your code editor.
Reduces hallucinations. Your AI agent has direct and structured access to the latest versions of the API reference and integration guides.
Optimized token usage. Our AI-optimized context results in faster responses and lower AI interaction costs.

Information

If you have issues or want to provide feedback for the Developer MCP server, contact your account manager or request support.

To get started with the MCP server, add the https://docs.mcp.checkout.com server to your IDE or AI tool's MCP configuration. Once connected, your AI agent can query and access native guidance to answer natural-language questions directly from your IDE.

Run the following command in a Claude Code terminal:


1claude mcp add --transport http checkout.com-developer-mcp https://docs.mcp.checkout.com

For more information, see Claude Code's MCP documentation.

Open the Claude Desktop application.
Go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config and open the claude_desktop_config.json file.
Find the mcpServers object and add the Checkout.com Developer MCP:


1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "checkout.com-developer-mcp": {
4      "command": "npx",
5      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-remote", "--url", "https://docs.mcp.checkout.com"]
6    }
7  }
8}

Close and restart the Claude Desktop application.

Open the Cursor application.
Open the /.cursor/mcp.json file located in your home or project directory.
Find the mcpServers object and add the Checkout.com Developer MCP:


1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "checkout.com-developer-mcp": {
4      "url": "https://docs.mcp.checkout.com"
5    }
6  }
7}

For more information, see Cursor's MCP documentation.

Open the VS Code application.
Open the /.vscode/mcp.json file located in your workspace or project directory.
Find the servers object and add the Checkout.com Developer MCP:


1{
2  "servers": {
3    "checkout.com-developer-mcp": {
4      "type": "http",
5      "url": "https://docs.mcp.checkout.com"
6    }
7  }
8}

For more information, see VS Code's MCP servers documentation.

Information

For guidance on how to enable the Developer MCP in any other IDE or AI tool, refer to their platform's documentation.

The Developer MCP provides the following tools:

Guide - Provides developer guidance.
ApiSearch - Queries the API reference.
DocsSearch - Queries technical documentation content.
ListOperations - Lists available API operations.
GetOperation - Retrieves details for a specific API operation.
GetSchema - Retrieves schema information.

You can chain tools together via a natural language prompt. For example, you can prompt your AI agent to Use the Guide and ListOperations tools to find which API operations and fields I need to create a PayPal payment request.
