Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY secret required env
Stripe secret key (sk_test_... for test mode, sk_live_... for live mode). The key prefix selects the environment — no separate base URL.
STRIPE_API_VERSION env
Optional Stripe API version to pin via the Stripe-Version header (e.g. '2024-06-20'). When omitted, Stripe uses the account's default version.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is MCP Stripe safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

MCP server for Stripe — global standard-bearer payments API

Stripe vs. Stripe ACP

Two Stripe MCP servers live in the CodeSpar catalog — different products:

Package	Wraps	When to use
`@codespar/mcp-stripe` (this package)	Stripe's regular payments API (PaymentIntents, Checkout, Billing)	You are already using Stripe to accept payments today — the 99% case for LatAm SaaS that ship with Stripe.
`@codespar/mcp-stripe-acp`	Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol	You are building on Stripe's new agent-native checkout spec. Much narrower product, bleeding edge.

If you are a typical SaaS with Stripe as your PSP, this is the package.

Why Stripe in the CodeSpar catalog?

Stripe is the global standard-bearer for developer-first payments. Nearly every LatAm SaaS that bills international cards ships with Stripe — Truora, Platzi, Rappi Pay (for some flows), countless Y Combinator LatAm companies. Adding Stripe lets agents operate the payments stack those SaaS already run, without forcing a migration to a local-first gateway.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Authentication

Stripe uses a single secret key. The key prefix selects the environment:

sk_test_... → test mode (no real money moves)
sk_live_... → live mode

There is no separate base URL — the key itself routes requests. Set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and you are done.

Request bodies are application/x-www-form-urlencoded with bracket notation (customer[name]=Foo, metadata[order]=123, expand[]=latest_invoice). This server handles nested objects and arrays for you.

Pinning an API version

Stripe auto-upgrades breaking changes on a calendar cadence. If you want to lock the version your agent sees, set STRIPE_API_VERSION (e.g. 2024-06-20). The server passes it as the Stripe-Version header on every call.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`	Yes	`sk_test_...` or `sk_live_...` from Stripe Dashboard > Developers > API keys
`STRIPE_API_VERSION`	No	Pin API version via the `Stripe-Version` header (e.g. `2024-06-20`)

Sandbox / Testing

Every Stripe account has test mode built in — no separate signup. Use a sk_test_... key and any of Stripe's test cards (e.g. 4242 4242 4242 4242).
