NOWPayments MCP

TheNOWPayments MCP Serveris a lightweight wrapper around the NOWPayments API that enables seamless interaction with cryptocurrency payments through LLM-powered interfaces such as chatbots and AI agents.

- Handle confirmations and failures

The MCP server acts as a bridge between LLM-based interfaces and the NOWPayments API.

Instead of writing API integrations manually, you can:

- Ask a chatbot to create a payment
- Generate invoices dynamically
- Check transaction statuses in real time

All requests are securely handled using your NOWPayments API key.

- Crypto payment processing in AI agents
- Automated billing workflows
- Chat-based checkout experiences
- Internal tools for finance teams
- Web3-friendly SaaS integrations

Sign up at NOWPayments and generate your API key from the dashboard.

Provide your API key in the MCP server configuration:

Add the NOWPayments MCP server to your MCP-compatible client (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or other agent frameworks).

Once connected, you can call methods directly through your LLM:

- “Get available cryptocurrencies” →get_full_currencies
- “Create a $50 BTC invoice” →create_invoice
- “Check payment status” →get_payment_status

This tool is an MCP server for interacting with the NOWPayments API, enabling programmatic creation of crypto payments, invoices, and payment tracking through LLM-powered interfaces.

It provides essential features for crypto payment workflows, including:

- Retrieving supported cryptocurrencies
- Calculating minimum payment amounts
- Creating hosted invoices and direct payments
- Tracking payment status in real time

Can I create invoices and payments using this tool?

Yes, the server includes dedicated methods for bothhosted invoices(create_invoice) anddirect payments(create_payment), allowing flexible integration depending on your use case.

You need an active NOWPayments account and an API key.
The API key must be configured (e.g., asNOWPAYMENTS_API_KEY) and is used to authenticate all requests.

Payment amounts depend on the selected cryptocurrency and currency pair.
You can use theget_min_amountmethod to retrieve the minimum required amount for both fixed-rate and floating-rate transactions before creating a payment.

What is the difference between fixed-rate and standard (floating-rate) payments?

- Fixed-rate paymentslock the exchange rate for a limited time (10 minutes), ensuring the payer sends an exact amount and the recipient receives a predictable payout. This is useful for price stability and avoiding volatility.
- Standard (floating-rate) paymentsuse the current market rate at the time the transaction is processed. The final received amount may vary depending on market fluctuations.

You can use theget_min_amountmethod to compare minimum amounts for both options before choosing the preferred flow.
