Payway MCP Server

Payway authenticates with a single raw header named apikey (not Authorization: Bearer). Two co-equal keys exist with different powers - see the table below. Its 6 documented tools cluster into create & write, read & search, refund, confirm.

People who work with payment and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

One of 127 MCP servers published from codespar/mcp-dev-latam. Stars and repository activity are shared across all of them. See all 127 →

01 · Install Payway

before you install - you'll need

Set PAYWAY_PUBLIC_API_KEY, PAYWAY_PRIVATE_API_KEY before connecting. PAYWAY_ENV is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add codespar-mcp-dev-latam-packages-argentin -- npx -y @codespar/mcp-payway

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codespar-mcp-dev-latam-packages-argentin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@codespar/mcp-payway"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Limitations (from the README)

- Amounts are integers in minor units: 50000 = ARS 500.00. - payment_method_id identifies the card brand (1 = Visa, 31 = Mastercard, 15 = Maestro, …). - site_transaction_id is the merchant-side idempotency anchor - unique per sale. - This server never invents card data; agents must collect PAN/expiry/CVV from the user or a vault.
