Set up Stripe MCP in VS Code

Integrate Stripe APIs for payments, subscriptions, customers, and invoices directly from your AI editor using the official Stripe agent toolkit.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "stripe-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@stripe/mcp",
        "--tools=all"
      ],
      "env": {
        "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY": "YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
3

Set up environment variables

Stripe MCP requires the following environment variables:

STRIPE_SECRET_KEYRequired

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Stripe MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 15 tools available.

This server adds approximately 7,725 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
