PayPal MCP Integration for Generic MCP Clients
Connect PayPal to Generic MCP Clients through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect PayPal to Generic MCP Clients
Connect any stdio-compatible MCP client to local KosmoKrator integration tools.
Register kosmo mcp:serve as the command for a local stdio MCP server. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so MCP clients can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
