How to Use Stripe MCP with Claude Code

What is the Stripe MCP?

The Stripe MCP connects Claude Code to the Stripe API, enabling it to inspect and manage your payment infrastructure. From looking up a customer's invoice history to creating new products and prices, Claude becomes your billing co-pilot without you ever opening the Stripe dashboard.

Installation

mcpizy install stripe

Provide your Stripe secret key (use a restricted key with only the permissions you need). For read-only debugging, a key with read access to customers, charges, and subscriptions is sufficient.

Key Capabilities

• Look up customers and subscriptions — find a customer by email, inspect their plan, and check payment status.
• List and create products and prices — manage your pricing catalog programmatically.
• Inspect charges and invoices — debug failed payments by tracing the full charge lifecycle.
• Manage refunds and disputes — issue refunds or retrieve dispute evidence.
• Query payment intents — trace a checkout session to its underlying payment intent.

Example Usage

A customer reports they were double-charged. Ask Claude to investigate:

// Claude will:
// 1. Search customers by email
// 2. List charges for that customer in the last 30 days
// 3. Identify duplicate charges
// 4. Report the charge IDs and amounts for your review

Tips and Best Practices

• Always use a restricted Stripe key — never your full secret key. Scope it to exactly the resources Claude needs.
• Use test mode keys during development and only switch to live keys in production environments.
• Combine with your Supabase or Postgres MCP to correlate Stripe customer IDs with your internal user records.
• For webhook debugging, pair with the Stripe CLI's stripe listen command alongside the MCP.
