- Generate QR codes for native tokens (BTC, ETH, SOL, POL) and Solana SPL (USDC on Solana)
- Create hosted ERC‑20 stablecoin sessions (USDC, USDT, EURC) on Ethereum, Polygon, or Base
- Poll payment session status (pending, submitted, confirming, completed, expired, failed)
- List the 50 most recent QR code generations and payment sessions
- Non‑custodial – only generates payment objects and reads state; cannot move funds
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
ToreadorCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install by adding a configuration entry for the npx -y @toreador/mcp-server command and setting the TOREADOR_API_KEY environment variable. Once configured, ask your assistant prompts like “Generate a Bitcoin QR code for 0.001 BTC to [address]” and the server will call the Toreador API.
toreador_generate_qr
Generate a crypto QR code for a native token (BTC, ETH, SOL, POL) or a Solana SPL token (USDC on Solana). Returns the QR data URI (PNG base64) and the on-chain payment URI (BIP21, EIP-681, Solana Pay). FREE — no API key needed for these chains. For ERC-20 stablecoins on Ethereum/Polygon/Base (USDT, USDC, EURC), use toreador_create_session (Pro plan required).
toreador_create_session
Create a hosted payment session for ERC-20 stablecoins on EVM chains (USDC, USDT, EURC on Ethereum, Polygon or Base). Returns a session ID, a 6-character security code to display to the payer, and a URL to a Toreador-hosted payment page where the payer connects their wallet. Sessions expire 15 minutes after creation. PRO PLAN REQUIRED. For native tokens or Solana SPL, use toreador_generate_qr instead.
toreador_get_payment_status
Get the current status of an ERC-20 payment session by ID. Status values: pending, submitted, confirming, completed, expired, failed. Includes on-chain confirmation count and tx hash once submitted.
toreador_list_history
List the 50 most recent QR code generations for the authenticated account. Returns a list of payment requests with token, chain, amount, recipient and timestamp.
toreador_list_sessions
List the 50 most recent ERC-20 payment sessions for the authenticated account. Includes status, tx hash, confirmations and timestamps.

@toreador/mcp-server
Official Model Context Protocol server for
Toreador. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other
MCP-capable assistant generate crypto QR codes and manage payment sessions on
your behalf.
> ⚠️ Requires a Pro plan API key (tdr_...) from your Toreador
> dashboard. The MCP server runs locally
> and uses your key to call https://toreador.io/api/v1/public.

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.
