The Stripe Agent Toolkit enables integration with Stripe APIs through function calling in various agent frameworks including OpenAI's Agent SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, Vercel's AI SDK, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). This toolkit supports both Python and TypeScript, making it easy to connect your AI agents with Stripe's payment processing capabilities.
Stripe hosts a remote MCP server that you can use directly:
https://mcp.stripe.com
You can quickly run a local Stripe MCP server using npx:
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=all --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
Remember to replace YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY with your actual Stripe secret key from the Stripe Dashboard.
For more control, you can set up a custom MCP server using 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);
});
Install the Python package using pip:
pip install stripe-agent-toolkit
Configure the toolkit with your Stripe secret key:
from stripe_agent_toolkit.openai.toolkit import StripeAgentToolkit
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"actions": {
"payment_links": {
"create": True,
},
}
},
)
The toolkit integrates easily with agent frameworks:
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()
)
For connected accounts, you can provide context values:
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"context": {
"account": "acct_123"
}
}
)
Install the TypeScript package using npm:
npm install @stripe/agent-toolkit
Configure the toolkit with your Stripe secret key:
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/langchain";
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
Example integration 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,
});
For Vercel's AI SDK, you can implement metered billing:
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 various Stripe API operations including:
Each of these methods maps directly to Stripe's API documentation for complete functionality.
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
