MCP Server

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?

REST — you write code

Developer manually writes integration: HTTP requests, authentication, error handling, response parsing. Every action requires code changes.

MCP — AI calls tools

User says "create an invoice for 50 EUR" in natural language. AI picks the right tool, fills parameters, makes the call, returns the result.

REST approach — developer writes this manually
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']}")
MCP approach — AI does this automatically
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_balance

Check your wallet balance across all currencies.

"What's my balance?" → Shows EUR, USD, USDT, BTC balances
create_payment

Create a payment link or invoice for any amount and currency.

"Create an invoice for 100 USDT for client" → Returns pay URL
list_transactions

View transaction history with filters by date, status, currency.

"Show today's transactions" → Table with all payments
get_exchange_rate

Get real-time exchange rates between fiat and crypto.

"What's EUR to USDT rate?" → Current rate with spread
convert_currency

Convert between currencies in your wallet.

"Convert 500 EUR to USDT" → Conversion executed at market rate
get_payment_status

Check the status of a specific payment by ID.

"Is payment #1234 paid?" → Status: completed, amount, timestamp

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

1

Get your API key

Go to gate.teleport.ltd/developers and generate an API token.

2

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.
