📖 Guide

Stripe MCP — Remote MCP Server

Stripe's remote MCP runs on Stripe's own infrastructure and shares the toolset of the open-source Stripe Agent Toolkit. Because authorization happens through Stripe OAuth, the agent acts with the permissions of the Stripe account you connect — use a restricted-scope account or test-mode data for experiments. Write-capable tools such as refunds are gated by the toolset you enable.

Endpoint & Transport

Endpoint URL: https://mcp.stripe.com
Transport: Streamable HTTP

Authentication

Stripe MCP uses OAuth 2.1 — the first request returns a 401 Unauthorized challenge with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing at the authorization metadata. Compliant clients (Cursor, Claude, VS Code, ChatGPT) handle the whole flow — PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration, so no manual client setup is needed — and simply open a browser consent screen.

Available Tools (5)

Tool	Safety	Description
`create_customer`	write	Create a new Stripe customer object.
`list_payment_intents`	read	List PaymentIntents on the Stripe account.
`create_refund`	write	Refund a charge. This is a money-moving operation — double-check the charge id.
`search_documentation`	read	Search Stripe's official documentation.
`list_subscriptions`	read	List subscriptions on the Stripe account.

Connect in 30 Seconds

Claude Code — one command:

claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com

Cursor — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "stripe": { "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com" } } }

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "stripe": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com" } } }

Claude Desktop & stdio clients — bridge with mcp-remote:

{ "mcpServers": { "stripe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.stripe.com"] } } }

On first connect your client opens a browser OAuth consent screen — approve it and tools become available immediately.

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized on connect — that's expected; the server is OAuth-protected. Let your client complete the browser consent flow, or inspect the endpoint in our OAuth debugger to see the exact WWW-Authenticate challenge.
"Session expired" / stale Mcp-Session-Id — just re-send initialize; stateless clients can ignore session headers entirely.
Runs against your live Stripe account once authorized — point agents at test mode while prototyping.
Refund and customer-mutation tools require explicit confirmation flows in most clients.

🚀 How to Connect

Copy the Stripe MCP endpoint URL
The remote endpoint is https://mcp.stripe.com.
Add it to your MCP client
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com. Cursor: add "stripe": { "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com" } under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Other clients work similarly.
Complete the OAuth consent
On first connection your client opens a Stripe consent screen in the browser. Approve it to grant access; the token is stored by the client and refreshed automatically.
Verify with the online inspector
Paste https://mcp.stripe.com into remotemcp.net/inspector, run initialize and tools/list, and confirm Stripe MCP's 5 tools respond.

❓ FAQ

What is the Stripe MCP remote MCP endpoint?

The primary endpoint is https://mcp.stripe.com. It is an official first-party server operated by Stripe, speaking the Streamable HTTP transport.

How do I authenticate with Stripe MCP?

Stripe MCP uses OAuth 2.1. When your client first connects it receives a 401 challenge, discovers the authorization server via RFC 9728 metadata, and opens a browser consent screen. Dynamic Client Registration is supported, so compliant clients register themselves automatically.

I'm getting a 401 Unauthorized from Stripe MCP — what's wrong?

A 401 means your client hasn't completed (or has lost) the OAuth authorization. Remove and re-add the server in your client to restart the consent flow, and check that your browser session can reach the provider's login page. If the 401 arrives without a WWW-Authenticate header, run it through our OAuth debugger to see what's missing.

Which MCP clients work with Stripe MCP?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Cursor, Claude Code (`claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com`), VS Code Copilot, ChatGPT connectors, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop via the `mcp-remote` bridge.

What tools does Stripe MCP expose?

5 tools are cataloged in this directory — including `create_customer`, `list_payment_intents`, `create_refund` and more. Use our online inspector to fetch the live tool list straight from the endpoint.
