Stripe MCP Server (Agent Toolkit)

Add to your client

Copy the config for your MCP client and paste it into its config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stripe-mcp-server-agent-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@stripe/mcp",
        "--tools=all",
        "--api-key=<your-stripe-secret-key>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Before you start

• Node.js 18+ (the local server runs via npx)
• A Stripe account
• A Stripe secret key — preferably a Restricted API Key (RAK) with only the permissions the agent needs, created at https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
• For the remote server (mcp.stripe.com): an MCP client that supports OAuth or bearer-token auth

When to use it

• Use it when you want an agent to spin up a payment link or invoice for a customer on demand.
• Use it when building an internal support copilot that looks up customers, subscriptions, or invoices and issues refunds.
• Use it when prototyping AI-driven billing flows (create product → price → subscription) without writing API glue code.
• Use it when you want the model to answer Stripe API questions by searching Stripe's own documentation.
• Use it when you need to reconcile or report on payment intents, disputes, and balances from a chat interface.

Quick setup

1. 1Create a Restricted API Key in the Stripe Dashboard with only the permissions your agent needs.
2. 2Add the server to your MCP client config: command `npx`, args `["-y", "@stripe/mcp", "--tools=all"]`.
3. 3Provide the key via the `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` env var or `--api-key=` CLI flag.
4. 4Optionally narrow the toolset with `--tools=` (comma-separated tool names) instead of `all`.
5. 5Restart the MCP client and confirm the Stripe tools appear.
6. 6Alternatively, connect the remote server at https://mcp.stripe.com using OAuth.
