How do I install Stripe MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install stripe` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @stripe/mcp-server` and restarting Claude Code.
