   git clone git@bitbucket.org:paytmteam/payment-mcp.git
   cd payment-mcp

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   Copy

   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

   Copy

   uv pip install .

Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the project root:

   Copy

   # Paytm credentials
   PAYTM_MID=your_paytm_mid
   PAYTM_KEY_SECRET=your_paytm_key_secret

2. Update the .env file with your actual Paytm credentials

Running the MCP Server with Claude Desktop

The server is designed to be managed and run via Claude Desktop. You do not need to run the server manually from the command line.

Sample claude_desktop_config.json

Place this file in your project root or as required by Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paytm-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv path",
      "args": ["--directory", "path to project", "run", "paytm_mcp.py"],
      "env": {
        "PAYTM_MID": "****************",
        "PAYTM_KEY_SECRET": "************"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Update the command and args paths as needed for your environment.
• The env section should contain your actual Paytm credentials.
