Stripe MCP Prompt Pack — 50+ Questions to Ask Your AI After Connecting Stripe

Stripe MCP Prompt Pack

🔑 Restricted Key Permission Template

Exact read-only permissions to grant (and what to never grant). JSON format ready to reference.

🐛 Troubleshooting Guide (9 issues)

• MCP not connecting, invalid API key, permission denied

• Rate limits, empty results, JSON config errors

• AI trying to write, slow responses, OAuth issues

• Copy-paste diagnostic prompt to isolate any issue

Who This Is For

✅ Indie SaaS founders who want to catch churn before the monthly Stripe email

✅ AI-native builders using Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex daily

✅ Shopify sellers who need Stripe fee and chargeback analysis

✅ Anyone who connected Stripe MCP but doesn't know what to ask

Who This Is NOT For

❌ People who haven't connected Stripe MCP yet (it's free — claude mcp add --transport http stripe https://mcp.stripe.com)

❌ Non-technical users who don't use AI coding agents

❌ People expecting a full MCP server (this is a prompt pack, not server software)

Example: What One Prompt Does

You ask: "Who's at risk of churning this week? Sort by MRR."

AI returns:

Insight: Acme Corp alone is 12.5% of your MRR — highest priority.

Action: Call or email Acme Corp today. Personal outreach recovers 70% of failed payments vs 30% for auto-retry.

That's $667/mo protected in 10 seconds.

Security First

This is not a toy. Stripe data includes customer PII and financial records. That's why:

1. Always use a restricted read-only key (rk_ prefix, never sk_)

2. The system prompt blocks writes even if your key has write permissions

3. Start in test mode — verify with the 4-point security test before live data

4. No API keys are stored in this pack — you add your own via environment variable

FAQ

Q: Does this include the MCP server software?

A: No. Stripe's official MCP is free and connects in one command. This pack is what you ask after connecting.

Q: What AI clients work with this?

A: Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and others. Config templates provided for 4 platforms.

Q: Can the AI create charges or issue refunds?

A: No. The system prompt explicitly blocks all write operations. Combined with a read-only API key, this is defense in depth.

Q: Do I need to know how to code?

A: You need to be comfortable using an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and editing a JSON config file. No programming required beyond that.

Q: What's your refund policy?

A: 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 for a full refund.

Q: Will this work with my Stripe account?

A: Yes, any Stripe account with transaction data. Works with both test and live mode (start with test).
