Summary
Connects Claude to Toreador's crypto payment API so your assistant can generate payment QR codes for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins, plus manage hosted ERC-20 payment sessions. You get five tools: generate native token QRs with embedded amounts and addresses, create hosted sessions for USDC/USDT/EURC on EVM chains, poll payment status, and list recent QR codes or sessions. Runs locally via stdio and calls toreador.io with your Pro plan API key. Useful when you're building invoicing workflows, accepting crypto donations, or prototyping payment flows and want to script the QR generation and session tracking without leaving your editor or chat window.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Install in Claude Desktop
Edit Claude Desktop's config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the toreador entry under mcpServers:
{
"mcpServers": {
"toreador": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@toreador/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"TOREADOR_API_KEY": "tdr_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. You should see the 5 Toreador tools in the tools menu.
Install in Cursor
In Cursor settings → MCP → "Add new MCP server", paste:
{
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@toreador/mcp-server"],
"env": { "TOREADOR_API_KEY": "tdr_..." }
}
Example prompts
Once installed, try these prompts in your MCP client:
- "Generate a Bitcoin QR code for 0.001 BTC to bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh."
- "Create a USDC payment session for 50 USDC on Polygon to 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f2bD18."
- "What's the status of session ses_123?"
- "Show me my last 10 payment sessions."
The assistant will pick the right tool, call Toreador, and return the result — including the QR code data URI which most clients can render inline.
Configuration
| Environment variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
TOREADOR_API_KEY | required | Your Pro plan API key. Format: tdr_.... |
TOREADOR_BASE_URL | https://toreador.io/api/v1/public | Override the API base URL (useful for testing). |
TOREADOR_TIMEOUT_MS | 30000 | Per-request timeout in milliseconds. |
Trust and safety
- Local only. The MCP server runs on your machine via stdio. Your API key
never leaves your computer except in outbound HTTPS calls to
toreador.io. - Non-custodial. Toreador never holds funds. The MCP tools only generate QR codes and read session state — they cannot move money.
- Read or create, no destruction. Tools either generate new payment objects or read existing ones. There is no "delete" or "refund" tool.
Build from source
git clone https://github.com/Bentonabento/toreador-sdk.git
cd toreador-sdk/mcp
npm install
npm run build
TOREADOR_API_KEY=tdr_... node dist/index.js
The server will boot, print [toreador-mcp] ready (5 tools registered) to
stderr, and wait for MCP requests on stdin.
