Paperclip’s Stripe MCP connector gives your AI agents tools to find API methods, read account data and make changes. Each tool can be Allowed, Ask first or Off.
Reach and mode follow the connected Stripe account or key. A restricted key limits permitted resource operations; Paperclip action settings apply to exposed tools.

Tool availability and permissions
This list describes the reviewed tools. Your selected method, provider access and action permissions determine what agents can use.
These lists use a conservative permission policy. Read requires a provider read-only hint or a reviewed Paperclip read rule. Evidence that an action changes data or submits information elsewhere puts it in Write. Write also includes actions we cannot verify as read-only. Read describes the reviewed evidence; it does not guarantee that an action has no side effects. A connected account can group actions differently.
This list comes from published provider information. Authorization, plan, deployment version and account settings can limit the actions available. No connected account was tested.
Connection policies
Discovered actions follow the connection’s policies. Review their permissions and set actions to Ask first or Off as needed. Writes can perform financial operations. Start in test mode and require approval for changes; the hosted server is in public preview.
Stripe connector FAQ
Can I require approval for actions?
Set an action to Ask first to require human approval of each call or Off to prevent calls. Allowed actions run without approval. Read and Write grouping is separate from these settings.
What can agents reach in Stripe?
Reach and mode follow the connected Stripe account or key. A restricted key limits permitted resource operations; Paperclip action settings apply to exposed tools.
What do I need before connecting?
Use a Stripe account or restricted key for the intended mode. A restricted rk_ key works in the key field; its sk_ placeholder is not a recommendation for full access.
