Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform that lets businesses accept payments and manage revenue online. Through Nekt, your AI agents can read and write to the full Stripe API, search the official documentation, and help you plan your Stripe implementation.

​
Adding Stripe as an MCP

Before you start, make sure the MCP Server is set up. See MCPs for how MCPs work.
  1. Go to Activate → MCPs, click New MCP and choose Stripe.
  2. Name your MCP and describe what it is used for. The agent reads the description to choose between MCPs of the same provider.
  3. Setup access.
    1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard.
    2. Navigate to the API keys section and create a restricted API key.
    3. Grant the key only the permissions you want the AI to have. Note that test-mode keys also work and will scope the connection to your test environment.
    • API key (Required): A Stripe secret or restricted API key. We strongly recommend a restricted key with only the permissions you want the AI to have — a read-only restricted key makes this a read-only connection, enforced by Stripe.
  4. Select tools. Pick the tools your agents can use. See Available tools below.
  5. Click Save. On Growth and Custom plans, choose who can use it; see Access levels.

Example prompts

Troubleshooting

If the agent receives permission errors during a conversation, verify that your Stripe restricted API key has the necessary read or write permissions for the specific API resources the agent is trying to use. If your API key expires, is rolled, or is revoked, the MCP will show that it needs to reconnect. You can supply a new key by updating the credentials directly from the MCP’s page.
