PaymentsNZ MCP Server

How to Build

1. Install Node.js version 22 or greater. Check version with node --version.
2. Run cd sdk && npm install && cd ../mcp-server && npm install to build the SDK and the server.

How to Run

If you are not familiar with how to setup MCP Servers with Claude Desktop, see this tutorial first.

Now add something like this to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "PaymentsNZ": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["[YOUR-PATH-HERE]/paymentsnz-mcp-server/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ACCOUNT_AND_TRANSACTION_API_SPECIFICATION_LIB_ACCESS_TOKEN": "[YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN-HERE]"
      }
    }
  }
}

A claude_desktop_config.json file is also provided as reference.

Make sure to set the path to the location where your MCP Server is stored as well as the access token you got after authenticating.

How to Get Access Token

1. Go to https://pnz-app.azurewebsites.net/
2. Go to any endpoint such as https://pnz-app.azurewebsites.net/#/typescript/api-endpoints/statements/get-account-statement
3. Click on GET AUTH TOKEN on the top-right of the page and wait for a window to pop-up for consent.
4. Enter username and password and approve everything
5. The access token should now be visible in the Authentication UI(See screenshot below). You can now copy it into your environment variables in your claude_desktop_config.json file.

NOTE: The access token does not last more than an hour. Please make sure that it is used in a timely manner.
