# ⚠️ 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.

Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct Venmo operation—payments, requests, transactions, friends, cards, transfers, and login—so an agent can easily select the right one. Minor overlap between get_transactions and get_notifications is resolved by their focused descriptions.
All tools follow a consistent 'venmo_verb_noun' pattern (e.g., venmo_get_balance, venmo_send_payment, venmo_accept_request) with clear, action-first verbs and no style mixing.
At 13 tools, the server is well-scoped for a Venmo integration, covering authentication, balance, payments, requests, transactions, friends, cards, and bank transfers without excessive granularity.
Core Venmo workflows are fully covered: send/request money, view balance and transactions, manage friends, and transfer to bank. Slight gaps include no explicit accept/decline for friend requests and no logout, but these are edge cases, not critical dead ends.
