Stripe

What a member can do

• Read customers, payments, invoices, subscriptions, disputes, payouts and balances.
• Create and update customers, products, prices, invoices, subscriptions, coupons and payment links.
• Create refunds, once a person has approved each one in Stripe.
• Search Stripe's documentation and support articles.

Each task names the Stripe tools it may call. stripe on a task means every tool the Stripe server offers; a name such as stripe.<tool> means that tool alone. A tool the task does not name is refused, whatever the connection allows.

Who connects it

A Stripe connection acts as the Stripe account that signed in when it was connected. It can do what that account can do, and no more.

Anyone who may change tools in your enterprise can connect Stripe for a member or a team. Connecting it for the whole enterprise is for the owner, and the people the owner allows.

A connection can sit on the enterprise, a team, a member, a role or a task, and the one further down replaces the one above: task, then role, then member, then team, then enterprise. A connection on anything but a task also reaches the chat of every member it covers.

What waits for you

In a run, nothing on Stripe waits for you unless the task declares a gate on it. To approve each change before it happens, gate the tools that change something on the task. See Gates and tool scopes.

In a chat, a Stripe tool that its server does not mark as read-only asks you before it runs, unless you chose Always allow for that member and tool.

Setup

Before you connect

Stripe asks a person to approve some write actions, such as refunds and outbound payments, through a link before they run. A Stripe administrator can turn MCP access off for the whole team.

Connect it

Stripe is an Express tool, so there is no server address, key or app to set up. Work in one browser window throughout: the sign-in returns to the portal in the window you started from.

1. In the portal, open the member's page → Tools. To connect it for a team or the whole enterprise, open Tools in the sidebar.
2. Under Express, find Stripe and choose Connect. On the Tools page you are asked who uses it: one member, a team or the whole enterprise.
3. Stripe's sign-in opens. Sign in with the account the member should work as, and approve what it asks for.
4. You are back on Tools, and Stripe shows as connected.
5. Name the tools on the task, stripe for all of them or each by name.
6. Check it. Run a task that reads something from Stripe. The run page shows the call and what came back.

You can take the access back at any time: delete the connection on Tools, or remove Zero Human OS from the connected apps in your Stripe account.

A first task to try

With Stripe connected, give a member a task that uses it. For example:

Each morning, list yesterday's failed payments and open disputes, with the customer and amount for each.

Start this task in the portal. It opens a conversation with your COO with the request written out. Read it, change what you like and send it. The COO asks what it still needs to know, then proposes the task for you to approve: its name, who owns it, its guardrails, the Stripe tools it may use and its instructions. Nothing is created until you approve it.
