Stripe Agent Toolkit
by stevekaliski-stripe
Python and TypeScript library for integrating the Stripe API into agentic workflows
What is Stripe Agent Toolkit
Stripe Agent Toolkit
The Stripe Agent Toolkit enables popular agent frameworks including OpenAI's Agent SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, Vercel's AI SDK, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate with Stripe APIs through function calling. The library is not exhaustive of the entire Stripe API. It includes support for both Python and TypeScript and is built directly on top of the Stripe Python and Node SDKs.
Included below are basic instructions, but refer to the Python and TypeScript packages for more information.
Python
Installation
You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package run:
pip install stripe-agent-toolkit
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
Usage
The library needs to be configured with your account's secret key which is available in your Stripe Dashboard.
from stripe_agent_toolkit.openai.toolkit import StripeAgentToolkit
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"actions": {
"payment_links": {
"create": True,
},
}
},
)
The toolkit works with OpenAI's Agent SDK, LangChain, and CrewAI and can be passed as a list of tools. For example:
from agents import Agent
stripe_agent = Agent(
name="Stripe Agent",
instructions="You are an expert at integrating with Stripe",
tools=stripe_agent_toolkit.get_tools()
)
Examples for OpenAI's Agent SDK,LangChain, and CrewAI are included in /examples.
Context
In some cases you will want to provide values that serve as defaults when making requests. Currently, the account
context value enables you to make API calls for your connected accounts.
stripe_agent_toolkit = StripeAgentToolkit(
secret_key="sk_test_...",
configuration={
"context": {
"account": "acct_123"
}
}
)
TypeScript
Installation
You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package run:
npm install @stripe/agent-toolkit
Requirements
- Node 18+
Usage
The library needs to be configured with your account's secret key which is available in your Stripe Dashboard. Additionally, configuration
enables you to specify the types of actions that can be taken using the toolkit.
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/langchain";
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
Tools
The toolkit works with LangChain and Vercel's AI SDK and can be passed as a list of tools. For example:
import { AgentExecutor, createStructuredChatAgent } from "langchain/agents";
const tools = stripeAgentToolkit.getTools();
const agent = await createStructuredChatAgent({
llm,
tools,
prompt,
});
const agentExecutor = new AgentExecutor({
agent,
tools,
});
Context
In some cases you will want to provide values that serve as defaults when making requests. Currently, the account
context value enables you to make API calls for your connected accounts.
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
context: {
account: "acct_123",
},
},
});
Metered billing
For Vercel's AI SDK, you can use middleware to submit billing events for usage. All that is required is the customer ID and the input/output meters to bill.
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/ai-sdk";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import {
generateText,
experimental_wrapLanguageModel as wrapLanguageModel,
} from "ai";
const stripeAgentToolkit = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
const model = wrapLanguageModel({
model: openai("gpt-4o"),
middleware: stripeAgentToolkit.middleware({
billing: {
customer: "cus_123",
meters: {
input: "input_tokens",
output: "output_tokens",
},
},
}),
});
Model Context Protocol
The Stripe Agent Toolkit also supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
To run the Stripe MCP server using npx, use the following command:
npx -y @stripe/mcp --tools=all --api-key=YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
Replace YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
with your actual Stripe secret key. Or, you could set the STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in your environment variables.
Alternatively, you can set up your own MCP server. For example:
import { StripeAgentToolkit } from "@stripe/agent-toolkit/modelcontextprotocol";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
const server = new StripeAgentToolkit({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!,
configuration: {
actions: {
paymentLinks: {
create: true,
},
products: {
create: true,
},
prices: {
create: true,
},
},
},
});
async function main() {
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
console.error("Stripe MCP Server running on stdio");
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error("Fatal error in main():", error);
process.exit(1);
});

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
What are MCP Servers?
MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.
How do MCP Servers work?
MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.
Are MCP Servers secure?
Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
