Stripe MCP Server

by Stripe

Stripe's official MCP server (part of the Stripe Agent Toolkit) exposes Stripe operations as tools an agent can call — creating and looking up customers, payments, invoices, subscriptions, and refunds, and searching Stripe's documentation. It runs as a remote hosted server at mcp.stripe.com with OAuth, or locally via npx with your Stripe secret key.

How to prompt it

Copy-paste prompts written to exercise this plugin, with what to expect.

Look up a customer's invoices

A customer emailed about a charge and you want the facts.

Find the Stripe customer with email jordan@example.com and list their last five invoices with amounts and status.

What to expect: The agent queries Stripe and returns the real invoice records, so you answer from data rather than memory.

Start in test mode with a restricted key while you validate the flow.

Tips for getting the most out of it

Prefer a restricted API key and limit the enabled tools to what the task needs.
Use test mode for anything you're prototyping to avoid touching live money.

Frequently asked questions

Can it move real money?+

It can call the Stripe operations your key allows, so scope the key carefully and use test mode when experimenting. The remote server uses OAuth instead of a raw key.
