Common questions
Is Paylo safe?
It passed 4 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 4 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 8 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).
What can I use instead?

Paylo MCP Server
The Commerce Discovery Gateway for AI Agents
The Paylo MCP Server connects AI assistants to Paylo, a Nigerian commerce platform, via the Model Context Protocol.
- Shoppers: search verified Paylo stores, products and services by name, category, state and area, and read shared gift wishlists.
- Sellers: get Paylo's current plans, fees and features from Paylo's own maintained data, and a one-tap signup link to open a store.
Connect
The server is hosted at:
https://mcp.usepaylo.comIt speaks Streamable HTTP at / and /mcp, with legacy SSE at /sse. No account, API key or local setup is needed.
Claude: add Paylo from the Claude Connectors Directory, or add a custom connector in Claude's connector settings with the URL https://mcp.usepaylo.com.
Other clients: any MCP client that supports remote servers can connect to the same URL.
Safety and data
- Read-only. Every tool reads public Paylo data. The connector cannot sign in to an account, place orders, take payments or move money.
- Signup is the user's own action.
get_seller_signup_linkonly returns a link. Nothing is created until the user opens it, ticks the box to accept Paylo's Terms of Service themselves and picks a Google or Apple account. Identity verification (KYC) happens later in the Paylo Business app, never through the assistant. - No credentials. The connector never asks for passwords, card details or ID documents.
- Seller-written content. Store names, descriptions and product text are written by sellers and returned as data.
- No paid placement. Store search results are ordered by number of live listings.
- Attribution. Links carry UTM parameters naming the connecting client (see below). No conversation content is sent to Paylo beyond the tool arguments.

Architecture
AI Agent → MCP (Streamable HTTP or SSE) → Paylo MCP Server → usepaylo.com API → Storefront CatalogThe MCP server is a thin proxy. It does not access the database directly — all data is fetched from the Paylo backend API and returned as structured JSON.
Self-Hosting
If you prefer to run your own instance:
git clone https://github.com/scephiro/paylo-mcp-server.gitcd paylo-mcp-server npm install npm run build
Set environment variables:
GPT_API_SECRET=your_backend_secretPAYLO_API_BASE_URL=https://usepaylo.com # default MCP_PORT=3030 # default
Start the server:
node build/index.jsThe server listens on http://0.0.0.0:3030. Connect via Streamable HTTP at /mcp, or legacy SSE with GET /sse and POST /messages?sessionId= .
Docker
docker run -p 3030:3030 \-e GPT_API_SECRET=your_secret \ ghcr.io/scephiro/paylo-mcp-server:latest
