PayLink Server

PayLink is an open-source framework designed to streamline payment integration for developers building AI agents and financial applications across Africa.

Leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), PayLink exposes a unified interface that simplifies access to diverse payment providers—such as M-Pesa, Airtel Money seamless financial workflows without repetitive integration work.

Why PayLink?

• Providing standardized MCP tools for payments, invoicing, and reconciliation
• Empowering AI agents to handle payments intelligently
• Enabling SMEs and micro-merchants to access modern financial infrastructure
• Supporting local-first development with a global vision
