Stripe's official MCP connects in one command. The hard part is knowing what to ask. This pack gives you 50+ battle-tested prompts that turn your Stripe data into decisions.
This is a prompt pack — you connect Stripe's free official MCP first (1 command), then use these prompts. No MCP server software included.
Quick take: This is a prompt pack, not MCP server software. Stripe's official MCP is free and connects in one command — the hard part is knowing what to ask afterward. This pack gives you 50+ decision-oriented prompts (MRR, churn, at-risk customers, financial reports, automation) plus config templates and a security guide. Requires a working Stripe MCP connection first. Always use a restricted read-only API key (rk_ prefix). Not affiliated with Stripe.
The Dashboard is powerful, but it answers questions by making you click through 5-10 screens. Want to know "who's at risk of churning this week?" You'd need to check failed payments, past-due invoices, recent downgrades, and login activity — then manually cross-reference.
With Stripe MCP + the right prompt, you get it in one ask:
| Customer | Plan | MRR | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acme Corp | Pro | $499 | Payment failed 2x |
| Globex Inc | Team | $299 | Invoice 18 days past due |
| Initech | Basic | $49 | Downgraded last week |
It's not about new data. It's about faster decisions and fewer missed signals. The data is already in Stripe — MCP just lets you ask for it in plain English instead of building reports manually.
These are included in the free preview. The full pack has 50+ prompts across 5 categories.
Want all 50+ prompts? The full pack includes 40 more prompts across MRR deep-dive, churn prevention, customer health scoring, cash flow forecasting, and automated workflows — plus example outputs for every prompt. See pricing →
| Category | Prompts | What You Get |

⚠️ Important: This prompt pack contains only prompt assets and config templates. It does NOT include the Stripe MCP server software. You need a working Stripe MCP connection first (free, 1 command: claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com).
Not just a list of questions. Every prompt comes with a tested output format. Here's a sample of the hardened system prompt included:
# System Prompt (included in full pack)
You are a Stripe revenue analysis assistant connected via MCP.
RULES:
- Read-only mode. Never create, modify, or delete Stripe resources.
- Never ask for or display full API keys, card numbers, or PII.
- Always return data as markdown tables for easy copy-paste.
- If a query requires write access, explain what it would do and stop.
- Flag anomalies: churn >5%/mo, refund rate >2%, concentration >40%.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Direct answer (1-2 sentences)
2. Data table (markdown)
3. One insight + one recommended action| File | What's Inside |
|---|---|
50-prompts.md | 5 categories × 10 prompts, each with example output |
system-prompt.md | Hardened read-only system prompt with output constraints |
config-claude-code.json | Claude Code MCP config (remote OAuth + local key) |
config-cursor.json | Cursor MCP config |
config-codex.json | Codex MCP config |
config-claude-desktop.json | Claude Desktop config (macOS/Windows paths) |
security-checklist.md | 12-point pre-flight check before connecting |
restricted-keys.json | Read-only and read-write permission templates |
troubleshooting.md | 6 common issues: auth, permissions, timeouts, etc. |
System prompt instructs agent to never create/modify/delete Stripe resources — defense in depth beyond API key restrictions.
Monthly fee summaries, chargeback batch analysis, subscription lifecycle reports — all output as markdown tables for Excel/Notion.
Tested with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf. Config templates for each platform.
Dedicated prompts for MCP connection failures, permission errors, API rate limits, and a one-click permission self-check.
Stripe's official MCP is free and connects in one command. You don't need this pack to connect — you need it to know what to ask afterward.
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com
# Then authorize in browser{
"mcpServers": {
"stripe": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@stripe/mcp"],
"env": { "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY": "rk_test_your_restricted_key" }
}
}
}Note: During OAuth, Stripe asks which account to authorize. Start with your test account if you're new to MCP, then switch to live once you're comfortable. Verify with: "What's my Stripe account info?" If it returns your account name, it works.
⚠️ NEVER use your full secret key with AI agents. Always create a restricted key with only the permissions you need. A full key in the wrong hands can drain your account.
MCP AI Agent - Read Onlyrk_test_ (test) or rk_live_ (live)| Resource | Read-Only | Read-Write |
|---|---|---|
| Customers | Read | Write |
| Products / Prices | Read | Write |
| Subscriptions | Read | Read |
| Invoices | Read | Write |
| Charges / PaymentIntents | Read | Read |
| Refunds | None | None |
| Transfers | None | None |
| Payouts | None | None |
| Account / Balance | Read | Read |
⚠️ Even in Read-Write mode: Never grant Write to Refunds, Transfers, or Payouts. These move real money. This prompt pack is for analysis only.
Always start with a rk_test_ key. Verify the AI reads data correctly and behaves as expected. Only switch to rk_live_ after you're confident.
Stripe's official MCP is free. This pack is what you do after you connect it.

No. This is a prompt pack only. Stripe's official MCP server is free and connects in one command (claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com). You connect that first, then use these prompts to get useful answers. The included setup guide walks you through connecting.
1) A Stripe account with some transaction data. 2) An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex). 3) The official Stripe MCP connected (free, 1 command). 4) A restricted read-only API key (rk_ prefix) if using local mode. That's it.
No. The included system prompt explicitly blocks all write operations. Even if your MCP connection has write permissions, the agent is instructed at the prompt level to never create, modify, or delete Stripe resources. This is a defense-in-depth approach: restricted key + prompt-level blocking.
Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and others. Config templates are provided for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Claude Desktop. The prompts themselves are client-agnostic.
You can — but writing 50 good prompts that produce clean, actionable output takes 4-6 hours of testing. This pack gives you prompts that have been iterated to return markdown tables, flag anomalies, and suggest specific actions. The system prompt alone enforces output formatting that would take multiple rounds to get right.
Stripe's MCP is the connection tool — it lets AI list charges and retrieve customers (raw CRUD). This pack is what you ask afterward: decision-oriented prompts like "who's at risk of churning?" that the raw MCP can't answer on its own. Think of it as: MCP = the pipe, this pack = the questions worth asking.
No. This is an independent prompt pack and guide. Stripe is a trademark of Stripe, Inc. We use Stripe's official MCP server and API documentation, but we are not endorsed by or affiliated with Stripe. Always review AI-generated analysis before making financial decisions.
7-day money-back guarantee. If the prompts don't work with your setup or you find them not useful, reply to your Gumroad receipt email for a full refund. No questions asked.
