Cashfree MCP Server

What does “Cashfree” MCP Server do?

The Cashfree MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server enables AI tools and agents to seamlessly integrate with Cashfree APIs, including Payment Gateway, Payouts, and SecureID. By acting as a bridge between AI assistants and Cashfree’s robust suite of financial APIs, it empowers developers to automate and streamline payment processing, payouts, and identity verification workflows within their development environment. The server exposes these functionalities as MCP tools, allowing AI-driven applications to create and manage payment links, process payouts, and interact with secure identity services. This integration enhances productivity by allowing database queries, API interactions, and other financial operations directly from the AI assistant, saving time and reducing manual effort.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "cashfree": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “cashfree” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Our opinion

Cashfree MCP Server provides a focused set of payment tools and excellent configuration examples for major AI platforms, but lacks details on prompt templates and MCP resources. Setup is well-documented for Claude and VS Code, but not for Windsurf, Cursor, or Cline. The toolset is practical for payment workflows, but broader MCP features like sampling and roots are not referenced. Overall, the server is solid for payment integrations, but not as feature-complete as some others.
