PayU announced the launch of two powerful developer tools designed for modern payment workflows: PayU CLI, a command-line interface designed for payments management and operations and Builder MCP, an AI-native server enabling faster and seamless payment gateway integrations. The tools address two distinct challenges facing modern development teams - integrating payment gateway quickly and managing payment operations efficiently without dashboard dependency.
PayU Builder MCP is designed for developers and AI builders looking to integrate PayU's payment gateway quickly and efficiently. By connecting AI-coding assistants such as Cursor, VS Code and Claude Desktop to PayU's APIs, Builder MCP can generate production-ready integration code in 7+ languages, including PHP, JavaScript, Java, Python, Kotlin and Swift. Unlike traditional documentation or sample code repositories, it delivers production-ready code with error handling, webhook verification, and security best practices built in. Developers can browse integration catalogues, retrieve platform-specific code and search documentation semantically without leaving their IDE, thereby, enabling integrations in hours rather than days.
On the other hand, PayU CLI is built for developers and operations teams that manage payment workflows on a day-to-day basis. Instead of navigating multiple complex web dashboards, teams can perform operational tasks directly from the command line. Using PayU CLI, users can create and send payment links, search and filter transactions, process refunds, review settlements, and generate reports through terminal commands. The tool also supports multi-account management and seamless switching between test and production environments, making it particularly useful for DevOps teams to manage multiple merchants.
"AI has fundamentally transformed software development and AI agents have become a more nuanced part of everyday developer workflows. Merchants and their tech teams are now looking for a payment partner that provides lightning-fast product integrations, operational flexibility and enhances developer productivity. Our new CLI and Builder MCP tools solve for each of these requirements by bringing PayU’s payment infrastructure to where developers work - in the terminal. This is just first of our steps in this direction”, said Narendra Babu, CTO, PayU
While the two tools address a different use case, they complement one another across the payment lifecycle. Developers can use Builder MCP during implementation to generate integration code through their AI assistants and deploy payment experiences faster. Once live, teams can use PayU CLI to manage operational workflows such as transaction monitoring, payment link creation, settlement tracking and refunds, all without leaving the terminal.
Here's a typical workflow: A developer at merchant’s end using Cursor asks Builder MCP for PayU checkout integration code and receives copy-paste-ready JavaScript with error handling, shipping the integration from days to within hours. Whereas, the operations team managing multiple merchant accounts uses PayU CLI for routine operations by simply giving instant commands from the terminal without dashboard navigation, like – create an INR 5,000 payment link or check transaction status or get yesterday’s settlement, etc.
