Hosting

Remote, Stripe-hosted

Transport

Streamable HTTP

Endpoint

https://mcp.stripe.com

Authentication

OAuth for interactive clients; Stripe Agent API key as bearer token for clients that cannot use OAuth. Team administrators can manage MCP access separately for live and sandbox environments.

Requirements

• Stripe account or sandbox
• MCP-capable client supporting OAuth, or a Stripe Agent API key stored locally as an environment variable
• For Claude Team/Enterprise, workspace owner must enable the connector before members connect

Setup steps

1. Add `https://mcp.stripe.com` as a remote MCP server in the client, or use Stripe's agent setup command: install `@stripe/cli` and run `stripe agent setup`.
2. For Codex, Stripe documents `codex mcp add stripe --url https://mcp.stripe.com`; after adding it, authenticate with OAuth.
3. For Claude Code, run `claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com/`, then start Claude Code and run `/mcp` to authenticate.
4. For Claude Desktop or ChatGPT, install the official Stripe connector/plugin and sign in through the OAuth window; enable Stripe in the conversation.
5. Use an Agent API key only when OAuth is unsupported. Store it in a local environment variable and reference that variable in config; never paste the key into chat.
6. Enable tool approval in the client. Verify with a read-only account or documentation lookup before making changes.

The current Stripe reference enumerates 15 MCP tools. Atlas formation and five Treasury tools are preview-gated; Analytics has preview/Sigma requirements. Many Stripe API methods are selected through stripe_api_search/details/read/write rather than registered as separate tools. Available operations depend on account, permissions, mode and product eligibility.

• Writes can create consequential changes. Stripe requires human confirmation for certain actions such as refunds and outbound payments. Enable tool approval and review each action.
• OAuth support for connected-account operations is not available; Stripe documents restricted API keys and a Stripe-Account header for that mode.
• Analytics/Sigma, Treasury, Atlas, and other tools have preview or product-specific access conditions.
• Stripe notes that existing non-Agent keys will cease to be accepted for MCP API-key authentication beginning November 30, 2026; follow current official migration guidance.

• official tool reference

  Stripe’s hosted MCP exposes four general API tools plus account, Atlas, analytics, Treasury, documentation, integration-planning and feedback tools. Preview tools and API methods depend on account eligibility, permissions, environment and product access; API operations are routed through generic read/write tools rather than one MCP tool per endpoint.
