Stripe's official agent toolkit — MCP server plus SDKs so agents can bill, refund, and manage payments.

About

stripe/agent-toolkit (1.9k stars, MIT) is Stripe's official toolkit for giving AI agents payment capabilities: an MCP server plus SDKs covering billing, refunds, subscriptions, and payment-link flows.

It's young (1.9k stars) but under active development — pushed Oct 2026 — with docs at docs.stripe.com/agents. The stakes here are inherently high: this is real money movement, so the restricted API keys and explicit user-confirmation patterns in the docs aren't optional extras. Treat every payment tool as requiring human approval.

What it can do

  • Official Stripe MCP server for payment operations (charges, refunds, subscriptions)
  • SDKs alongside the MCP server for framework-native integration
  • MIT-licensed, actively developed by Stripe (pushed Oct 2026)
  • Docs patterns for restricted keys and confirmation flows

Setup

  1. Install via npm per the repo README.
  2. Create a Stripe account and get a restricted API key (never the secret key with full perms).
  3. Add the MCP server to your client config with the key.
  4. Follow docs.stripe.com/agents for the payments-specific tool patterns.
  5. Require explicit human confirmation before any charge/refund tool runs.

Prerequisites

Node.js; a Stripe account; a restricted Stripe API key.

Trust score — 7/10

/10 trustMetrics-checked

Scored 7/10 (metrics tier). Official Stripe project, MIT, actively pushed — but young (1.9k stars, no formal releases yet) and operating in the highest-stakes domain possible. The score reflects solid provenance with a mandatory caveat: real-money tools demand restricted keys and human-in-the-loop confirmation, full stop.
