Connect a Stripe account or sandbox through Stripe’s official hosted MCP. Read payments and invoices from your AI, and handle refunds with care.
Status: Available. Stripe uses its official hosted MCP server at
mcp.stripe.com and browser OAuth. You do not paste a Stripe API key. On
Stripe’s consent page you pick the live mode accounts, sandboxes, or both, and
set permissions for each. The connector acts only on the Stripe account you
connect. It is separate from how ApexGenius bills you.Explore the Stripe connector.
How to connect Stripe
Before you start
An account with permission to use the Stripe resources you intend to connect.
1
Open Stripe in Connections
Choose Connect, or Add connection when offered. Give the connection a name if prompted. If Gateway setup pending appears, contact ApexGenius support before continuing.
2
Choose the account and review access
On Stripe’s page, sign in and pick the live mode accounts or sandboxes to share, with the permissions for each. To test, pick only a sandbox. No Stripe API key is pasted into ApexGenius.
Connect opens Stripe's sign-in. Sign in with email, Google, a passkey or SSO, then allow ApexGenius.
3
Review the connected account and resources
Confirm the connected Stripe account on the connection page, then open Tools. Refunds, invoices, payment links and subscription changes move real money and run right away unless set to Ask me first.
4
Check the connection
Use Test connection or Check again and read the reported status. Add an AI agent from the AI agents page, choose Read only for the first test, and try the question below.
Try a first question with your AI agent
Which Stripe account is connected, and is it live mode or a sandbox? Use the read-only route. Do not change anything.
Refunds, invoices, payment links and subscription changes move real money. To
test, grant only a sandbox on Stripe’s consent page. A Stripe administrator can
also turn MCP access on or off for live mode and sandboxes separately in the
Stripe Dashboard.
Open Skills on the connection to read Stripe, or read that MCP prompt
in a compatible AI client. It names every tool that moves money and tells the
AI to state the exact amount, currency and customer before calling one.Three ApexGenius tools route Stripe’s ten documented MCP tools:
ApexGenius tool
Stripe tools
Access
stripe_search_tools
Lists the live Stripe catalog
Read
stripe_call_read_tool
get_stripe_account_info, get_balance_summary, stripe_api_search, stripe_api_details, stripe_api_read, stripe_analytics, search_stripe_documentation, stripe_implementation_planner, when Stripe’s live catalog marks them read-only
Read
stripe_call_tool
stripe_api_write, send_stripe_feedback
Runs right away; stripe_api_write moves money
Your AI discovers the tools with apex_search_tools. Reads use
apex_call_read_tool; writes use apex_call_write_tool and run right away. If
you set a tool to Ask me first, it returns approval_required until a person
approves in ApexGenius.For some writes, such as refunds and outbound payments, Stripe itself returns a
confirmation link instead of acting. Open it, choose Approve on Stripe, then
ask your AI to retry. The link expires after 24 hours.
A finalized, unpaid invoice can be voided. A paid invoice needs a refund.
A payment link can be turned off. Payments already made stay made.
A canceled subscription cannot be restarted. Create a new one.
Disconnecting ends ApexGenius access and asks Stripe to revoke the grant. It
does not undo a write that already ran. You can also revoke the session in
Stripe under user settings, OAuth sessions.
