Arlet makes PayPal's official MCP server available from the AI client you already use. Signing in with your PayPal business account completes the connection.

The AI can create and send invoices, handle orders and refunds, summarize transactions, review disputes and manage subscriptions. The available tools are those provided by PayPal's official server and operate on the live environment, so keep tool-call confirmation enabled in your AI client for anything that moves money.

How to connect PayPal to Copilot Studio

  1. 1

    In the Arlet dashboard, open Integrations → Add an integration and choose PayPal. Sign in with Link PayPal, name the connection and click Create.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Copilot Studio with your work account, create a new agent (or open an existing one), and in the Build tab choose Tools → + → Add → Model Context Protocol (MCP) in the right panel.

  3. 3

    In the Add MCP server form, enter "Arlet" as the Server name, https://mcp.arlet.dev/mcp/ as the Server URL, choose OAuth 2.0 for Authentication and "Dynamic (detected)" for Configuration type, then click Add. No Client ID / Secret is needed.

  4. 4

    On the Select a connection screen, choose Create new connection → Create, then sign in with Google on the Arlet authorization screen and click Allow. Click Add to attach the tool to the agent, then Publish to use it from Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Requires a Microsoft work account and a Copilot Studio license (or trial). MCP is available only for agents using generative orchestration and not in Copilot Studio in Teams.
