Paytm Payments Services Limited has connected its payment gateway with Anthropic’s Claude, enabling authorised users to access transaction data through natural-language prompts, streamlining financial operations for businesses.
Paytm Payments Services Limited, the payment arm of One 97 Communications, has linked its payment gateway with Anthropic’s Claude, allowing authorised business users to retrieve transaction data through natural-language prompts. The move is aimed at companies that already use artificial intelligence in finance, customer service, reconciliation and commerce, and want to cut down on time spent moving between dashboards and reports.
According to the integration details published by Anthropic, the connection uses the Model Context Protocol, or MCP, a standard that lets AI systems interact with external tools and data sources in a structured way. In practice, that means merchants, developers and operations teams can ask Claude to look up payments, refunds, settlements, subscriptions, order status and reconciliation information without relying on repeated manual checks or separate API calls.
Paytm says security and merchant control remain central to the setup. Access is limited to authenticated accounts and permissions stay under the merchant’s control, while payment execution, refunds and settlements continue to run through Paytm’s own systems. A Paytm Payment Gateway spokesperson said the value of AI lies in linking it securely to actual business workflows, describing the feature as a way for entrepreneurs, developers and business teams to reach payment insights faster.
The launch also fits a broader push by payments firms to embed AI more deeply into operational tools. Paytm says the system is intended for small businesses, larger enterprises and developers building AI-first commerce applications, with an emphasis on speed, visibility and control. Anthropic’s connector page presents the same use case: turning routine payment tasks into conversational queries that can sit inside day-to-day business workflows.
