Teleport MCP Server: payments through AI
Your AI agent creates invoices, checks balances, and manages transactions — just say what you need in natural language. No code. No dashboard. Just a conversation.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard by Anthropic that lets AI models call external tools. Instead of writing API integration code, you connect an MCP server — and the AI understands what tools are available, what parameters to pass, and how to present the result.
Think of it as giving your AI assistant a set of superpowers. Teleport's MCP server gives it payment superpowers — create invoices, check balances, convert currencies, all through natural language.
MCP vs REST — what's the difference?
Developer manually writes integration: HTTP requests, authentication, error handling, response parsing. Every action requires code changes.
User says "create an invoice for 50 EUR" in natural language. AI picks the right tool, fills parameters, makes the call, returns the result.
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://gate.teleport.ltd/api/crypto-acquiring/bills/create/",
json={"amount": 50, "currency": "eur"},
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer tk_..."}
)
bill = response.json()
print(f"Invoice URL: {bill['pay_url']}")User in Claude: "Create an invoice for 50 euros"
Claude sees tool create_payment → calls automatically:
POST https://gate.teleport.ltd/api/mcp/
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "create_payment",
"arguments": {"amount": 50, "currency": "eur"}
}
}
Claude responds: "Done! Here's your payment link: ..."
REST isn't going away. MCP is a wrapper on top of REST that AI understands. Under the hood, every MCP tool call makes a REST API request to gate.teleport.ltd.
Available tools
Connect the Teleport MCP server to Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT and just ask:
get_balanceCheck your wallet balance across all currencies.
create_paymentCreate a payment link or invoice for any amount and currency.
list_transactionsView transaction history with filters by date, status, currency.
get_exchange_rateGet real-time exchange rates between fiat and crypto.
convert_currencyConvert between currencies in your wallet.
get_payment_statusCheck the status of a specific payment by ID.
Three use cases
1. For vibe-coders and AI builders
Building an app with Cursor or Bolt? Connect Teleport MCP and say "add a payment button for $9/month." The AI creates the payment link and gives you the code to embed. No Stripe docs, no API keys setup, no webhook handlers.
2. For merchants managing payments via AI
Instead of opening the Teleport dashboard, just ask your AI: "How much did I earn today?", "Create an invoice for John's project", "Convert my EUR to USDT." Manage your payments through conversation.
3. For AI agent economy
Autonomous AI agents that need to accept or make payments. An agent sells a service, creates a payment link through Teleport MCP, receives payment, and continues working — no human in the loop. This is the future of agent-to-agent commerce.
How to connect
Get your API key
Go to gate.teleport.ltd/developers and generate an API token.
Add the MCP server
In Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client, add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"teleport": {
"url": "https://gate.teleport.ltd/api/mcp/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer tk_your_api_key"
}
}
}
}Start talking
Open Claude and say: "What's my Teleport balance?" — it just works.
How Stripe uses MCP (and why Teleport is different)
Stripe launched their MCP server so developers in Cursor can say "create a product with $10/month price" and Stripe MCP creates the product + price via API. It's a developer tool — helps write Stripe integration code faster.
Teleport MCP is different:
- →Stripe MCP is for developers writing code. Teleport MCP is for anyone — builders, merchants, agents.
- →Stripe requires a company in 46 countries. Teleport works as individual in 200+.
- →Stripe has no crypto. Teleport accepts BTC, ETH, USDT from 1%.
- →Stripe MCP creates API objects. Teleport MCP creates real payment links you can send to customers right now.
