High risk

The PayPal MCP server enables AI agents to interact with the PayPal platform. PayPal is a global online payments system that supports online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. This MCP server allows AI assistants to programmatically access and manage PayPal account information, transaction details, payment processing, and potentially other financial services offered by PayPal.

Security assessment

Plutonium assessed this web connector for permissions, capabilities, and security-relevant behavior.

  • Reads your private information: This connector can read data the connected service holds about you - documents, messages, contact lists, source code, customer records, or saved profile details - and pass it back to the AI.
  • Can change or update your information: This connector can edit, rename, overwrite, or otherwise modify records in the connected service. If a request gets manipulated, your data could be altered without you noticing.
  • Can spend money on your behalf: This connector can complete purchases, bookings, or payments. A misused or hijacked prompt could result in real financial charges before you confirm.
  • Can send messages as you: This connector can post messages, emails, or chat replies on your behalf. Recipients will believe the message came from you, which makes phishing or social-engineering risks higher.
  • Can permanently delete data: This connector can erase records, files, or accounts. Once deleted the data may be unrecoverable - even an accidental request can cause permanent loss.
  • Sends your data to outside companies: Anything you share with this connector flows through one or more third-party services. Those companies see, store, and may use the data according to their own policies.
