The Stripe Agent Toolkit enables integration with Stripe APIs through function calling for various agent frameworks including MCP (Model Context Protocol). It works with both Python and TypeScript, built directly on the Stripe SDKs to provide streamlined access to Stripe's functionality.
You can run the Stripe MCP server directly using npx:
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=all --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
Make sure to replace YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY with your actual Stripe secret key from your Stripe Dashboard. Alternatively, you can set the STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in your environment variables.
If you prefer to set up your own MCP server, you can do so with TypeScript:
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/modelcontextprotocol";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
const server = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
products: {
create: true,
},
prices: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
async function main() {
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
console.error("Stripe MCP Server running on stdio");
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error("Fatal error in main():", error);
process.exit(1);
});
To install the Python package:
pip install stripe-agent-toolkit
Requirements:
Basic usage example:
from stripe_agent_toolkit.openai.toolkit import StripeAgentToolkit
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"actions": {
"payment_links": {
"create": True,
},
}
},
)
With an agent framework:
from agents import Agent
stripe_agent = Agent(
name="Stripe Agent",
instructions="You are an expert at integrating with Stripe",
tools=stripe_agent_toolkit.get_tools()
)
To install the TypeScript package:
npm install @stripe/agent-toolkit
Requirements:
Basic usage example:
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/langchain";
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
With LangChain:
import { AgentExecutor, createStructuredChatAgent } from "langchain/agents";
const tools = stripeAgentToolkit.getTools();
const agent = await createStructuredChatAgent({
llm,
tools,
prompt,
});
const agentExecutor = new AgentExecutor({
agent,
tools,
});
In both Python and TypeScript, you can provide context values as defaults when making requests:
Python:
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"context": {
"account": "acct_123"
}
}
)
TypeScript:
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
context: {
account: "acct_123",
},
},
});
For Vercel's AI SDK, you can use middleware to submit billing events:
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/ai-sdk";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import {
generateText,
experimental_wrapLanguageModel as wrapLanguageModel,
} from "ai";
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
const model = wrapLanguageModel({
model: openai("gpt-4o"),
middleware: stripeAgentToolkit.middleware({
billing: {
customer: "cus_123",
meters: {
input: "input_tokens",
output: "output_tokens",
},
},
}),
});
The toolkit supports numerous Stripe API methods, including:
For the complete list of supported methods, refer to the official Stripe API documentation.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "stripe-agent-toolkit" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@stripe/mcp","--tools=all"]}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"stripe-agent-toolkit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@stripe/mcp",
"--tools=all"
]
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"stripe-agent-toolkit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@stripe/mcp",
"--tools=all"
]
}
}
}3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
