Cashfree MCP Server
Cashfree MCP server allows AI tools and agents to integrate with Cashfree APIs (Payment Gateway, Payouts, and SecureID) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Setup
Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/cashfree/cashfree-mcp.git
cd cashfree-mcp
Install Dependencies
Before installing, ensure you have Node.js v14.x or higher installed. If you're using nvm or brew, make sure the correct version is active:
node -v
# Should output v14.x or higher
Step 1: Install project dependencies
npm install
This will install all required packages listed in package.json.
💡 If you're using
Node.js >=18, you might face peer dependency issues with packages likeundici. In that case, upgrade Node.js to>=20.18.1or adjust the package version if needed.
Step 2: Build the project
npm run build
This compiles the source files to the dist/ directory, which is required to run the MCP server.
🛠️ If you see errors related to missing files in
/dist, ensure you've run the build step successfully.
