Prime Agent Stripe

Official Stripe MCP integration for Prime Agent.

CI License: MIT Python

Prime Agent connects to Stripe's official remote MCP server at https://mcp.stripe.com. The agent can then inspect and manage Stripe resources through the same API surface as other MCP clients.

[!NOTE] Stripe's MCP server is in public preview. It exposes both read and write tools. Keep the connection in test mode while developing.

Why this integration

• Stripe-hosted server — no self-hosted proxy and no Stripe API key in this repository.
• Prime Agent-native — the module extends McpIntegration and exposes the live tool inventory from the Python kernel.
• OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — the browser approval is stored only in Prime Agent's private auth.json under mcp:stripe.
• Test-mode friendly — authorize the Liminal Stripe account and use only test-mode resources during development.

Install

Requires Prime Agent with its Python kernel and Python 3.10 or newer.

1. Clone the repository and link the skill into place:

   git clone https://github.com/gbrlpzz/prime-agent-stripe-mcp.git ~/prime-agent-stripe-mcp
   rm -rf ~/.agents/skills/stripe
   ln -s ~/prime-agent-stripe-mcp ~/.agents/skills/stripe
   

2. Install the editable package into Prime Agent's kernel environment:

   uv pip install --python ~/.prime/agent/kernel-venv/bin/python -e ~/prime-agent-stripe-mcp
   

3. Add the remote server to Prime Agent's MCP settings once:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "stripe": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com",
         "oauth": true
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Reload Prime Agent and authorize the Stripe account:

   /reload
   /mcp login stripe
   

Approve the Liminal Stripe account, not a personal or production account that should stay outside this development workflow. Prime Agent stores the credential as mcp:stripe. It is never written to this repository.

Usage

from stripe import stripe, auth_status

print(auth_status())               # credential state, no token values
tools = await stripe.list_tools()  # live Stripe MCP inventory
# Inspect the live schema before calling a read or write tool.
result = await stripe.call_tool("<live-tool-name>", {"<live-argument>": "..."})

auth_status() returns a small dict without secrets:

{"enabled": True, "expires_fresh": True, "type": "oauth"}

Tool names and parameters belong to Stripe and may change during the public preview. Call list_tools() first, or use the methods bound automatically from the live inventory.

The server includes tools for Stripe API discovery, API reads and writes, account information, billing resources, documentation, and reporting. Write operations change Stripe data. Ask for human confirmation before creating, updating, cancelling, refunding, or deleting anything.

Token refresh fallback

Prime Agent refreshes the stored token automatically. On hosts where that is unavailable, call the module-level fallback:

from stripe import refresh

refresh()  # exchanges the stored refresh token; rewrites auth.json with mode 600

Liminal development workflow

1. Add your personal user as a team member of the Liminal Stripe account.
2. Authorize this integration as that user.
3. Confirm the Stripe dashboard is in test mode.
4. Create test products, prices, customers, and subscriptions only.
5. Configure the Supabase stripe-webhook function with the resulting test webhook signing secret separately. The MCP credential does not replace the server-side STRIPE_SECRET_KEY or STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
auth_status() reports no credentials	Run /mcp login stripe again.
Calls fail after a long pause	Run refresh(); log in again if it returns False.
A tool name is unknown	Re-run await stripe.list_tools(); the inventory can change during preview.

Development

python3 tests/test_skill.py                             # standalone suite, no Prime Agent needed
~/.prime/agent/kernel-venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/  # inside Prime Agent's kernel

CI runs the standalone suite on every push to main.

Security

• No credentials live in this repository or its Git history.
• OAuth tokens live only in Prime Agent's private auth.json.
• The module talks only to https://mcp.stripe.com and Stripe's OAuth authorization server.
• Keep all development mutations in Stripe test mode.
• Never put Stripe secret values or private-key material in source, tests, documentation, or Git history.
