Stripe Agent Skills
Stripe's official agent skills and plugins for building payments, billing, and Connect integrations with AI agents.
About
Stripe does not publish a standalone stripe/skills repo — the official distribution is the stripe/ai repo ("one-stop shop for building AI-powered products with Stripe"): official plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, plus a skills/ directory. The skills themselves are served from https://docs.stripe.com/.well-known/skills/index.json (10 skills: stripe-best-practices, stripe-docs, stripe-apps, stripe-projects, stripe-directory, stripe-pay, connect-recommend, connect-required-verification-information, metronome, upgrade-stripe). Stripe also hosts a remote MCP server at mcp.stripe.com.
What it can do
- Choosing the right Stripe primitive (Checkout vs PaymentIntents vs SetupIntents)
- Subscriptions/billing, Connect platforms (charge patterns, KYC/verification requirements, payouts)
- Stripe Tax; usage-based billing via Metronome
- API/SDK upgrade guidance; docs-lookup skill for gated Stripe docs
- Test-card numbers and error-code explanations via the plugin's slash commands
Setup
- Claude Code:
claude plugin install stripe@claude-plugins-official - Codex:
codex plugin add stripe@openai-curated - Cursor:

Use cases
Works with
Trust score — 7/10
Official Stripe, MIT, well-documented install matrix across harnesses. Docked one point because payments are inherently sensitive: the skills/MCP guide the agent toward live financial APIs, so restricted keys and sandbox-first are mandatory (Stripe's own skill teaches this). Distribution is slightly fragmented (repo plugins + docs.stripe.com skill index rather than one skills repo).
