MCP support

The README describes a Venmo connector that automated access using browser automation and user credentials; it is deprecated and should not be used.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markswendsen-code-venmo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@striderlabs/mcp-venmo"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @striderlabs/mcp-venmo

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Packages
npm@striderlabs/mcp-venmo0.1.0

Tools

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Details

From the project README

⚠️ DEPRECATED — DO NOT USE

Status: This connector has been pulled by Strider Labs as of June 5, 2026.

Why

This package automated Venmo / PayPal / Cash App access using browser automation with user credentials. We have concluded this is unsafe for users:

  1. Terms of Service. Automated/unauthorized access violates the user agreements of these services.
  2. Account suspension risk. These platforms can — and do — permanently suspend accounts they suspect of automation, and may freeze funds and linked bank accounts. Appeals are difficult or impossible.
  3. Credential exposure. Storing financial-service credentials in MCP client configs creates an unacceptable security surface.
  4. Regulatory category. Money-transmitter services operate under fraud-prevention regimes (BSA/AML) that are fundamentally hostile to bot traffic — different from commerce platforms.

Strider Labs policy

We do not ship credential-handover MCP connectors for regulated financial services. Strider Labs builds connectors for commerce platforms (food delivery, travel, reservations) that work with — not against — the operator's terms.

If you used this package

  • Stop running it.
  • Rotate your account password.
  • Review recent Venmo/PayPal/Cash App activity for anything you didn't authorize.
  • If your account was flagged, contact the platform's support — we cannot intervene.

What's next

We are evaluating safer architectures (OAuth-only, no credential handover, sanctioned partner APIs) for financial connectors. We will not re-publish browser-automation versions.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
