What is the Stripe MCP Server?
Take full control of your payment operations with Stripe, the global payments platform trusted by millions of businesses. Your AI agent becomes your financial operations assistant — listing customers, checking payment statuses, reviewing subscriptions, pulling invoices, and monitoring your account balance.
What you can do
- Customer Management — List, search, and create customers with names, emails, and metadata.
- Payment Tracking — Monitor payment intents with status, amounts, and currency across all transactions.
- Subscription Overview — Check active, past-due, and canceled subscriptions with billing intervals and plan details.
- Invoice Monitoring — Review open, paid, and overdue invoices with hosted payment links.
- Account Balance — Instantly check available and pending balances across all currencies.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Stripe Secret Key (from Dashboard → Developers → API keys)
- Start querying your Stripe data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Finance Teams — audit payments, reconcile subscriptions, and chase overdue invoices from a single conversation.
- SaaS Founders — monitor MRR, track customer churn, and review billing status without opening the Stripe dashboard.
- Support Teams — quickly look up customer payment status and share invoice links during support tickets.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get started with Stripe MCP?
Subscribe, then go to the Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API keys and copy your Secret key (starts with sk_live_ or sk_test_ for testing). Paste it here and you're ready. No SDK, no server setup, no webhooks — just connect and start querying your payment data.
Can my AI agent track subscription churn and billing status?
Yes. Ask your agent to list all subscriptions filtered by status — 'show me all past-due subscriptions' or 'how many canceled subscriptions do we have this month?'. It returns billing intervals, plan amounts, and whether the subscription will cancel at period end. Perfect for SaaS MRR monitoring.
How do I check if a customer's payment went through?
Just ask — 'check recent payments for customer cus_abc123' or 'did John's payment go through?'. Your agent pulls the latest payment intents showing the amount, currency, and status (succeeded, requires_action, or failed). No need to log into the Stripe dashboard or refresh browser tabs.
Can I manage customers and invoices for my entire team?
Absolutely. Create new customers with name, email, and notes in a single command. List all invoices filtered by customer or status — open, paid, or overdue. Share hosted invoice URLs directly from the conversation. Perfect for finance teams, SaaS billing departments, and e-commerce operations managing hundreds of customer accounts.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
