That's the expensive part.

MCP Integration

Three steps. Then you're live.

Connect our official skill using a secure MCP key and let your coding assistant build your global checkout flow.

  1. 1

    Add the skill

    Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool. Install our official skill directly from our repository.

    > npx skills add paymentsai/Payments-AI-skills
  2. 2

    Set your MCP Key

    Generate a secure MCP authentication key from your dashboard. This grants your AI agent safe access to your Merchant of Record infrastructure.

    > export PAI_MCP_KEY="mcp_live_8f92a4..."
  3. 3

    Prompt your revenue

    No API docs to read. Just tell your agent what you want to monetize. It builds the checkout, while we handle the compliance.

    "Create a payment link for a $29/mo Pro plan with a 14-day trial."

    Your AI Agent
Merchant of Record

We take the liability.
You keep shipping.

Behind the AI-friendly APIs is a full MoR infrastructure. Every transaction is legally ours — which means every compliance risk is ours too.

Automated Global Tax

VAT, GST, and sales tax — auto-calculated, collected, and filed across 190+ countries. Your agent doesn't need to know any of this exists.

Zero Fraud Liability

As your Merchant of Record, we absorb every chargeback and fraud dispute. You keep your revenue, dispute-free, period.

Plug-and-play Subscriptions

Recurring billing, dunning, proration, and upgrade flows — globally compliant from day one. No extra code, no extra lawyers.

Auditor-Ready Reporting

Reconciled net payouts and compliance-ready records documented under our legal entity. No manual bookkeeping, no year-end panic.

Technical FAQ

The questions developers
ask before going live.

It means two things working together. First, Payments AI is your Merchant of Record — we appear on your customer's bank statement, own the legal and tax compliance, and absorb liability on every transaction globally. Second, our infrastructure is designed to be implemented by AI coding agents: we expose a native MCP server so that tools like Cursor or Claude can call our checkout, subscription, and reporting APIs directly — without a human needing to read API docs or understand tax law.
No — and this is the core value of the MoR model. Because Payments AI is the legal Merchant of Record in each country, you sell through our entity everywhere. You don't need a local VAT registration in Germany, a GST number in Australia, or a business license in Japan. We handle every jurisdiction automatically, so your AI-built app can go global on day one.
After running `npx payments-ai init`, a local MCP server starts that exposes structured tools to your coding agent — things like createCheckout, listProducts, and getRevenueReport. You simply describe what you need in natural language inside Cursor or Claude (e.g. "add a checkout for my $49/month Pro plan"), and the agent calls our MCP tools to generate production-ready, tax-compliant code. If you prefer a no-code workflow, our Visual Checkout Builder gives you the same compliance coverage through a drag-and-drop UI.
No legal setup. No tax headaches. No foreign entities.
