Stripe MCP Server (Official, Hosted)
stripe-mcp-official
Stripe's official hosted MCP at mcp.stripe.com — a generic API gateway (stripe_api_read/stripe_api_write/stripe_api_search) plus documentation-search tools, authenticated with a Stripe secret or restricted key. Powerful but context-heavy, and writes are not idempotent by default.
When to use
Giving an agent broad, key-scoped access to the Stripe API (customers, payments, invoices, refunds) over a hosted endpoint without running a local server.
When not to use
A retrying agent that must avoid duplicate charges (writes aren't idempotent by default), or a tight context budget — the generic-gateway tool schemas are very large.

Evaluation
Harness-verified non-idempotent: two identical stripe_api_write calls created two distinct customers. The generic gateway sends no Idempotency-Key by default — duplicate-on-retry risk.
