Relay MCP Server

Connect your AI agent to the Cashfree Relay MCP server to create, edit, activate, and monitor payment workflows using natural-language prompts.

The Cashfree Relay MCP server exposes Relay’s workflow capabilities to AI agents using the MCP. Once connected, you can create, update, activate, and monitor workflows directly from your AI agent using plain language, without opening the Relay dashboard.

For the best results, use the Relay MCP server with Claude. Claude provides the most reliable tool-calling behaviour and is the recommended AI client for Relay MCP integrations.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Relay MCP server, ensure you meet the following requirements:

• A valid Cashfree Merchant account with access to Relay. You must sign in with an owner account. User accounts do not have the permissions required to connect to the Relay MCP server.
• Access to a supported AI client: Claude Desktop or ChatGPT (Plus plan or higher).

How MCP works

The Relay MCP server uses the Model Context Protocol to expose Relay’s workflow capabilities as tools that your AI agent can call directly. When you connect the MCP server to your AI client, the agent gains access to a set of tools for creating, updating, and monitoring workflows. You interact with these tools using plain language and the agent translates your instructions into the appropriate tool calls automatically.

To connect the Relay MCP server, you provide your AI client with the following server URL and authenticate with your Cashfree owner account.

The steps to connect differ slightly depending on the AI client you use. Follow the instructions for your preferred client below.

Connect the MCP server

Claude Desktop

1. Open Customise and Connectors

   1. Log in to the Claude Desktop application.
   2. In the left navigation, go to Customise.
   3. Select Connectors.
   4. Click the + icon to add connectors, then choose Add custom connectors.
2. Add the Relay MCP connector

   1. In Add custom connector, enter a name for the connector (any name you prefer).
   2. In the MCP Server URL field, enter the following URL.

   https://mcp.cashfree.com/wfcd-mcp/mcp
   

   3. Click Add.
3. Connect and sign in to Cashfree

   1. Click Connect.
   2. You are redirected to the Cashfree Merchant Dashboard, where you sign in or authenticate with your owner account.
   3. Complete the flow and return to Claude. When the connector is connected, Relay MCP tools are available in your Claude session.

The Claude Desktop integration is not available in the Claude web app. You must use the desktop application. Whether connector access requires a paid Claude plan depends on Anthropic’s current policy; check your Claude account if connection is blocked.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT support for the Relay MCP server is coming soon. This section will be updated when the integration is available.
