Stripe Agent Toolkit

Stripe's agent surface is no longer a single npm toolkit page. Official docs live at docs.stripe.com/agents. They cover agent-first developer tools, usage-based billing for AI features, and agentic commerce so agents can buy and sell. The open-source repo is stripe/ai (about 1,748 stars on 2026-08-17), MIT licensed, described as a one-stop shop for AI products on Stripe. Keep the slug, but send readers to the current agents docs and stripe/ai, not a frozen "Agent Toolkit + MPP" list.

Key Features

• MCP server: Hosted at https://mcp.stripe.com with OAuth. Cursor, Claude Code, and other clients can talk to Stripe resources and search docs.
• Agent skills: stripe agent setup or npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com. Official plugins: claude plugin install stripe@claude-plugins-official, codex plugin add stripe@openai-curated, Cursor /add-plugin stripe, grok plugin install stripe --trust.
• CLI first: Docs start with npm i -g @stripe/cli, stripe sandbox create, then stripe agent setup. You can begin without a full account via sandbox keys.
• Billing SDKs in stripe/ai: @stripe/ai-sdk for Vercel AI SDK, @stripe/token-meter for OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini usage.
• Agentic commerce: Stripe Directory, sell-through-agents, accept payments from agents, and token billing.

Use Cases

• Coding agents that must create customers, products, or refunds through MCP instead of pasted secret keys.
• AI SaaS metering with @stripe/token-meter.
• Catalogs that agents can shop via agentic commerce.

Pricing

Stripe does not sell a separate "Agent Toolkit" SKU. You pay normal Stripe processing and any usage-based Billing you attach to tokens or API calls. Confirm docs.stripe.com/agents and your Dashboard pricing.

Getting Started

1. Read Agents and AI on Stripe.
2. Install the CLI, create a sandbox, run stripe agent setup.
3. Point Claude Code or Cursor at https://mcp.stripe.com and complete OAuth.
4. For app metering, add @stripe/token-meter from stripe/ai.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GitHub repo still stripe/agent-toolkit?

The live canonical repo is stripe/ai. Older toolkit paths redirect there.

Do I need a Stripe account first?

Docs say you can start a sandbox and get working keys without signing up.

What about ACP / MPP names in older posts?

Use the current agents and agentic-commerce docs. Do not keep unofficial protocol acronyms unless the live page still uses them.

Alternatives

• x402: HTTP 402 payments for agents outside Stripe.
• Coinbase AgentKit: Onchain wallets instead of card rails.
• OpenAI Agents SDK: Agent runtime that can call Stripe tools.

Tips

1. Prefer official harness plugins so skills auto-update.
2. Keep live keys out of chat. MCP OAuth exists for that.
3. Confirm mcp.stripe.com auth when you rotate team members.
