Connect your AI Agents to Stripe in minutes

How can I use the Stripe MCP server?

Here are just a few examples:

• Automated closed-won workflow: When a sales opportunity is marked as "Closed Won" in a CRM, your agent can automatically create a Stripe customer record, set up a subscription based on the deal terms, and send the first invoice. Your agent can then notify the account owner in an app like Slack with payment details
  

• Customer health monitoring: When a Stripe payment fails or a subscription is cancelled, your agent can automatically update the opportunity status in your CRM, create a high-priority task for the customer success team, and post an alert in the relevant Slack channel with customer context
  

• Invoice reconciliation: When Stripe invoices are finalized, your agent can automatically create corresponding records in your ERP system (like QuickBooks or NetSuite), attach invoice PDFs from cloud storage, and update financial reporting dashboards
  

• Subscription analytics: Your agent can query Stripe subscription data, cross-reference it with customer usage data from your product analytics tool, and generate reports in Google Sheets or Notion showing revenue trends, churn patterns, and expansion opportunities
  

• Automated refund workflows: When a customer requests a refund through your support ticketing system (like Zendesk), your agent can verify the original charge in Stripe, process the refund, update the ticket status, and log the transaction details in your internal documentation system

What makes Merge Agent Handler’s Stripe MCP server better than alternative Stripe MCP servers?

Merge Agent Handler’s Stripe MCP server also provides platform-level capabilities:

• Enterprise-grade security and DLP: All tool inputs and outputs are scanned by a security gateway with configurable data-loss-prevention rules, allowing sensitive data to be blocked, redacted, or masked before reaching third-party systems
  

• Comprehensive and customizable tools: Merge’s pre-built Stripe connector comes with nearly 100 tools. You can use them as is or modify them, whether it’s editing their names, descriptions, or schema
  

• Authentication and credential management: Merge handles the full authentication lifecycle for connectors, including guided user authorization flows and credential storage, so agents can securely call tools without custom auth logic
  

• Tool Pack and access control management: Developers can bundle connectors and tools into Tool Packs and control which tools an agent can access, and whether authentication is shared or per-user
  

• Real-time observability and audit trails: Every tool call is logged with a fully-searchable activity log, enabling auditing, debugging, and monitoring of agent behavior across Stripe and other tools

Can I set security rules for Stripe tool calls in Merge Agent Handler?

Yes, you can set a wide range of security rules for Stripe tool calls in Merge Agent Handler. Here are just a few examples:

• Block bank account and routing numbers before they're sent to tools like <code class="blog_inline-code">create_customer</code> or <code class="blog_inline-code">create_payout</code>‍

• Block Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from being included in customer metadata fields‍

• Redact customer email addresses from Stripe responses before they reach your agent (e.g., when calling <code class="blog_inline-code">list_customers</code> or <code class="blog_inline-code">search_customers</code>)‍

• Log all refund operations to track when agents call <code class="blog_inline-code">create_refund</code> or <code class="blog_inline-code">cancel_refund</code>‍

• Log high-value payment intents (e.g., any <code class="blog_inline-code">create_payment_intent</code> call above a certain amount threshold)‍

• Log subscription cancellations to monitor when agents invoke <code class="blog_inline-code">cancel_subscription</code>

How can I start using Merge Agent Handler’s Stripe MCP server?

Here's how to get started with Merge Agent Handler's Stripe MCP server:

1. Sign up for an account. Visit this page and register for a free Agent Handler account to access the dashboard.‍

2. Configure a Tool Pack. Tool Packs determine which connectors and capabilities your agent can tap into. Head to the Tool Packs section and select "Create Tool Pack." Add Stripe as one of your connectors, then choose your authentication approach (either Individual, where each user links their own Stripe account, or Shared for one centralized Stripe credential for all users).

3. Define a Registered User. Navigate to Registered Users and create an entry. This represents the identity—whether human or system—that’ll execute actions through your agent. When Stripe authentication is required, Agent Handler will automatically walk users through a guided connection flow, eliminating the need to build OAuth flows from scratch.

4. Test in Sandbox mode. Before deploying to production, verify that everything functions correctly. Open your Tool Pack's Sandbox environment and experiment with Stripe operations like retrieving customers, creating payment intents, or listing invoices.

5. Connect your agent application. Integrate your agent with Agent Handler using one of these methods:

• Model Context Protocol: Copy the MCP configuration snippet from your Tool Pack settings and paste it into your agent's MCP client configuration. This instantly grants your agent access to all Stripe tools through the protocol‍
• REST API: Alternatively, call Agent Handler's REST endpoints directly if your agent doesn't support MCP natively
