The MCP Stripe Server is a dedicated MCP implementation that exposes Stripe-based financial operations through MCP endpoints. It provides tools for customer management (customer_create, customer_retrieve, customer_update), payment processing (payment_intent_create, charge_list), and refunds (refund_create), enabling developers to perform core Stripe tasks within MCP workflows. The server includes audit logging of all Stripe operations, storing and structuring logs for customers, payments, and refunds to improve traceability and support reconciliation via MCP resource endpoints. It uses the Stripe Python SDK and dotenv for configuration via STRIPE_API_KEY, ensuring secure access to Stripe services. The architecture is designed to integrate with MCP tooling, supporting MCP-compatible tools and resource listing. The README also highlights Claude Desktop integration, with a Smithery install path for quick setup. The server emphasizes robust error handling with clear messages for missing keys, authentication issues, invalid input, and non-existent customers, delivering a secure, auditable, and developer-friendly Stripe integration within MCP ecosystems.
