Stripe Model Context Protocol

The Stripe Model Context Protocol server allows you to integrate with Stripe APIs through function calling. This protocol supports various tools to interact with different Stripe services.

Running the Stripe MCP server using npx

To run the Stripe MCP server using npx, use the following command:

# To set up all available tools
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=all --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

# To set up specific tools
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=customers.create,customers.read,products.create --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

# To configure a Stripe connected account
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=all --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY --stripe-account=CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID
