Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Stripe Secret Key?
Log in to the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > API keys, toggle Test mode for testing or stay in Live mode for production. Copy the Secret Key (starts with sk_test_ or sk_live_). Keep it secret — never expose it in frontend code.
What's the difference between a payment intent and a charge?
A Payment Intent represents a pending payment that may require additional steps (3D Secure, confirmation). It tracks the lifecycle of a payment attempt. A Charge is the result of a successfully completed payment — it represents money that has been collected. Use list_payment_intents to track in-progress payments and list_charges for completed ones.
Can I create a payment intent for any amount?
Yes! Use the create_payment_intent tool with the amount in the smallest currency unit (e.g. 1000 = $10.00 USD, 1000 = €10.00 EUR) and the currency code (usd, eur, gbp, etc.). Optionally associate it with a customer ID. The tool returns the payment intent with its client_secret for use with Stripe.js.
Can I track subscription statuses?
Yes! Use list_subscriptions to see all subscriptions with their status (active, trialing, past_due, canceled, unpaid), customer, billing cycle and items. You can filter by customer ID or status to narrow results. This is useful for monitoring recurring revenue and identifying at-risk accounts.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
