Stripe for AI agents

Stripe is payment infrastructure that lets businesses accept, process, and manage online payments, subscriptions, invoices, and disputes worldwide. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

EVERY STRIPE CALL, ON THE RECORD
01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Stripe.

01

Capture a pending payment intent

Capture an authorized payment intent to finalize a charge only after the user confirms the order is ready.

02

Look up a customer's subscription

Retrieve a customer's subscription status and billing details as a read-only check before changing their plan.

03

Cancel a subscription with confirmation

Cancel a customer's subscription only after the user explicitly confirms, since the action is hard to undo.

02 · ACTIONS

433 Stripe actions, graded by risk.

Every Stripe action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Stripe in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect StripeThey sign in to Stripe on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create File” can wait for the user, and “delete plan” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Stripe through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('stripe', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_file
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_plan
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Stripe connects.

Users sign in to Stripe on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Stripe OAuth app, or bring your own so the Stripe consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Stripe connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Stripe and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Stripe with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Stripe to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Stripe actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Stripe?

Users sign in to Stripe on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Stripe OAuth app, or bring your own so the Stripe consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Stripe actions can my agent take?

433 in total: 205 read, 176 write and 52 destructive, such as “create File”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Stripe?

Yes. Actions like “delete plan” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Stripe too?

Yes. The same Stripe connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
