⚡ Installation
Prerequisites:
- • Node.js v18+
- • Stripe secret key or OAuth via remote endpoint
- • API key required
Check Claude Code documentation to configure this MCP server.
💡 Tips & tricks
Always use Restricted API Keys with minimal permissions instead of your full secret key. Start with read-only access and enable write operations only when needed. The remote endpoint at mcp.stripe.com uses OAuth, which is more secure for production use.
