Paystack for AI agents

Paystack is a payment processing platform serving businesses across Africa with cards, transfers, and subscriptions. Finance and product teams use it to accept and manage online payments. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Paystack in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect PaystackThey add their Paystack api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Plan” can wait for the user, and “delete Product” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Paystack through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('paystack', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_plan
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_product
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Paystack connects.

Users add their Paystack api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Paystack connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Paystack and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Paystack with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Paystack to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Paystack actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Paystack?

Users add their Paystack api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Paystack actions can my agent take?

112 in total: 57 read, 43 write and 12 destructive, such as “create Plan”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Paystack?

Yes. Actions like “delete Product” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Paystack too?

Yes. The same Paystack connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
