Cashfree Payments enables businesses to manage online payment operations in India, including payment links, orders, refunds, settlements, and payouts. Retrieve transaction details, track payment statuses, review settlement records, and reconcile financial activity across supported payment methods.
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a desktop app and in Cowork. It supports custom connectors, so it can call MCP servers directly from a chat.
This guide connects Cashfree MCP to Claude Desktop through MewCP, so Claude Desktop can use Cashfree MCP's 36 tools, like get_transaction_details, search_transactions and search_orders, without your Cashfree MCP credentials ever reaching the app.
Cashfree MCP signs in through managed OAuth. MewCP stores the token encrypted, refreshes it before it expires and injects it only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it.
More apps
The Stripe MCP Server lets AI agents manage customers, products, prices, subscriptions, invoices, payment links, refunds, and disputes, retrieve payment data, and search Stripe’s API documentation.
DeepLedger connects AI agents to QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping and accounting automation. Create bills, invoices, expenses, payments, and journal entries; reconcile bank-feed transactions, generate financial reports, manage accounts receivable and payable, and track month-end close with human review for uncertain actions.
XDC AI is agent-native commerce on the XDC Network. AI agents discover APIs in a curated marketplace and pay for them per call with USDC over the x402 protocol — from a non-custodial smart wallet, within an on-chain spending limit you control, and without ever holding gas.
Airwallex Docs MCP gives AI agents read-only access to Airwallex documentation and API references, enabling agents to search and retrieve accurate integration guidance without authentication.
Other clients
Cashfree MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Cashfree MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, then choose Add custom connector.
Name it "mewcp" and paste the URL.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
