Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Cheapest way to get paid: every route ranked by fee, from providers' own pricing pages, dated.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http paidrouter https://paidrouter.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidrouter": {
      "url": "https://paidrouter.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "paidrouter": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://paidrouter.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Optional. The first call issues a free key and returns it; send it back as 'Bearer pr_...' to keep your history (watched routes, totals). Or get one at POST https://paidrouter.com/api/keys.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • cheapest_way_to_get_paid

    Ask this before the owner invoices or accepts a payment, or when they wonder if they overpay in fees. Give the amount and how the payer can pay (card online, card in person, bank transfer, payment app, or any). Returns every route ranked by fee, cheapest first: provider, method,

  • get_fees

    The raw, sourced fee entries behind every answer: percent, fixed fee, caps, minimums, extras (international, instant payout, chargebacks), the source URL and the date verified. Filter by platform (stripe, square, paypal, venmo, cash_app, helcim, melio, payoneer, wise_business, sh

  • explain_fees

    When the owner asks why a provider took a certain amount ('why did PayPal take $35 from my $1,000?'). Give the platform, the method and the amount; returns a plain-words explanation: the fee, the formula, the effective percent, extras that can apply, and the source.

  • compare_send_money

    When the owner wants to send US dollars abroad and asks who is cheapest. Supports USD->MXN and USD->INR today, paid by bank transfer. Returns providers ranked by what the recipient gets, with each provider's fee and exchange rate, the quote date and the source. Uses the nearest s

  • my_effective_rate

    What the owner really pays to get paid, from their own exports, next to the published fee for the same payments and the cheapest route their payers can use, with the yearly saving in dollars. Send totals only, one row per route and period: {route, period_start, period_end, gross_

  • report_observed_fee

    When the owner was charged a fee and you can see it (a Stripe, PayPal or Square payment detail, a statement line), send the route, the payment amount, the fee charged and the date. Returns the published fee for that payment, the difference, and a one-line reading: matches, promo

  • watch_routes

    Tell PaidRouter which routes the owner uses (e.g. stripe_card, paypal_checkout, venmo_business, or a corridor like USD->MXN). From then on, any PaidRouter answer to this key starts with 'Since your last call, routes you watch changed: ...' when a fee or the best FX provider moved

  • request_route

    When the owner needs a provider, method, country or corridor PaidRouter doesn't cover yet (get_fees came back empty, or compare_send_money doesn't know the corridor), send what they need. PaidRouter records it, counts it on https://paidrouter.com/coverage, and adds the most-reque

  • route_it_for_me

    Ask PaidRouter to set up the cheapest route for the owner's real payments instead of just reporting it. Not live yet: this records the request on the routing waitlist (with the owner's email only if they agreed) and tells you what the owner can do today. Call it when the owner sa

Common questions

Is PaidRouter safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 –, and the latest version (0.2.0) 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Intervals MCP
