Overview

The Stripe MCP Server is the official Model Context Protocol integration from Stripe, providing AI assistants with secure access to payment processing, subscription management, and financial infrastructure. Instead of one tool per endpoint, it exposes a small set of API tools that search, inspect, read, and write Stripe API methods, plus account, documentation, and analytics tools.

Official Server:

Developed and maintained by Stripe. Remote MCP available at https://mcp.stripe.com with OAuth authentication. Part of the Stripe AI toolkit.

Authentication: OAuth or agent API keys:

Use OAuth for interactive clients, or create an agent API key (marked with an Agent badge) for autonomous clients and pass it as a bearer token in the Authorization header. Stripe's docs state that starting in December 2026 the MCP server will stop accepting full-access secret keys and restricted API keys without the Agent tag; migrate by November 30, 2026.

Installation

The server is remote at https://mcp.stripe.com; OAuth handles authentication.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stripe": {
      "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com/

Then run /mcp in Claude Code to authenticate with OAuth. To use an agent API key instead, send it as a bearer token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stripe": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${AGENT_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Stripe Agent Toolkit

In addition to the MCP server, Stripe provides the Stripe Agent Toolkit for direct framework integration with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, and Vercel AI SDK:

from stripe_agent_toolkit.openai.toolkit import create_stripe_agent_toolkit

async def main():
    toolkit = await create_stripe_agent_toolkit(
        secret_key="rk_test_..."
    )
    tools = toolkit.get_tools()

Documentation:

See the full Stripe MCP documentation at docs.stripe.com/mcp for a complete list of supported methods and configuration options.

Security

Remote MCP server uses OAuth — no API keys stored in local config files
Agent API keys provide scoped, independent access for autonomous clients
Stripe requires human confirmation before certain stripe_api_write actions, such as refunds and outbound payments
All communication encrypted via HTTPS
