# Paydude MCP server — setup brief

Connect to the Paydude MCP server and use it for any question about integrating Paydude payments.

## Connect
Endpoint:   https://www.paydude.io/api/mcp
Transport:  Streamable HTTP
Auth:       none. The server is public and read-only.

Most clients take a JSON entry:
  { "mcpServers": { "paydude": { "url": "https://www.paydude.io/api/mcp" } } }
CLI clients take the same URL with an HTTP transport flag.

## What the server exposes
- get_recipe       working, sandbox-tested call sequences for common tasks. Call first for any "how do I…"
- get_credentials  how to sign up, get API keys, and authenticate
- search_docs      full-text search across the docs and every API endpoint
- get_doc          one documentation page, as clean Markdown
- list_docs        the documentation table of contents
- list_endpoints   every endpoint, grouped by resource
- get_endpoint     one endpoint's parameters, request body and responses
- get_pricing      the published rate card, optionally for a monthly volume
