Stripe MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 14 installs a week from npm. Last commit 3 Oct 2026.
Read-only MCP server for querying Stripe customers, payments, and invoices.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Stripe MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
