Paystack + Claude

Leading African payment processor (Nigeria-led, also supports Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire). Initialize transactions, verify payments, list customers, issue refunds. Test secret keys (sk_test_*) require no KYC and work in minutes.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

Getting test API keys: sign up at https://dashboard.paystack.com → Settings → API Keys & Webhooks. You get a sk_test_* (secret key — server-side, used here) and a pk_test_* (public key — for client-side checkout). This adapter only needs the secret key.

Authentication: Bearer Token. Header: Authorization: Bearer sk_test_xxxxx.

Amount convention: amounts are integers in the smallest currency subunit — for NGN this is kobo, so ₦100 = 10000. Same for ZAR (cents), GHS (pesewas), KES (cents).

Supported currencies: NGN (default), USD, GHS, ZAR, KES, XOF (CFA franc).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en Claude

Ruta recomendada — funciona en claude.ai web sin tocar ningún archivo de configuración.

  1. Abre claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: Paystack
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
