How to connect Stripe to Cursor

Stripe is a hosted MCP server from stripe.com, listed as the vendor's own, so nothing runs on your machine and no API key is listed. This guide adds it to Cursor with one short JSON entry, covers sign-in if the server uses OAuth, and ends in the MCP logs. Details come from the listing and Cursor's documentation.

Updated Oct 26, 2026 · Built from catalog data; how we rank and grade

Checked against Cursor's documentation on Oct 26, 2026. Commands and config blocks are generated from the same install data as each listing page.

Before you start

  • Cursor installed and able to start.
  • Network access to mcp.stripe.com.
  • No API key is listed for Stripe.

  1. 1. Check what you need

    Cursor only has to reach the hosted server over the network. No runtime is needed on your side.

    • The listing names no required key.

  2. 2. Add Stripe to Cursor

    The JSON entry is short: just the hosted address under a server name. Place it in the project file or the home-directory file.

    Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in the project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project.cursor/mcp.json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "stripe": {
      "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com"
    }
  }
}

  3. 3. Sign in

    This step matters only if the server uses OAuth. In that case Cursor begins the sign-in the first time you enable the server.

  4. 4. Restart or reload if it does not appear

    Use this step if Stripe does not show up in Cursor; it covers the docs' restart wording and the approval Cursor asks for before an agent uses a tool.

    • The docs do not say whether editing mcp.json needs a restart. They tell you to restart Cursor after updating files of a custom local server.
    • Cursor asks for approval before an agent uses an MCP tool unless you allowlist it.

Check that it works

Open the Output panel and choose MCP Logs to see whether Stripe connected.

  • Open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U on macOS), choose MCP Logs, and look for connection errors. A working server lists its tools under Available Tools; agent mcp list shows connection state from the terminal.

Troubleshooting

A server fails or an npm-based server misbehaves after an update
Check the MCP Logs channel in the Output panel. For npm-based servers the docs suggest removing the server, running npm cache clean --force, and adding it again. Source

Security notes

  • Publisher: stripe.com, listed as the vendor's own server; license MIT.
  • Your requests go to mcp.stripe.com. Check who runs it and what it does with your data before you connect.
  • The listing declares no required keys; use a token with the narrowest scope if the service asks for one.
  • This listing has no security grade: Agent Market has not published security grades yet, so the choice is yours to make from the source and the permissions.
