# Agents and AI on Stripe

Build with agent-first developer tools, and sell agent-enabled products and services.

Build your integration with agent-first developer tools, charge your users for AI features with usage-based billing, and let agents transact on your behalf through agentic commerce. See [how these components work together](https://docs.stripe.com/agents/how-it-works.md) if you’re combining more than one.

## Get started 

The plugin configures MCP, includes Stripe-maintained skills and tools, and handles updates automatically.

## Agent developer tools 

Build Stripe integrations with agent-first developer tools.

[Agent plugins for Stripe](https://docs.stripe.com/agents/plugin.md): Give your AI agent access to Stripe’s latest guidance and live account data.

[MCP server](https://docs.stripe.com/mcp.md): Enable agentic IDEs and agent harnesses to interact with Stripe resources.

[Agent skills](https://docs.stripe.com/skills.md): Install instructions that help agents create more accurate Stripe integrations and apply best practices.

[Stripe CLI](https://docs.stripe.com/cli.md): Install the CLI to enable agents to manage Stripe resources through the command line.

[Stripe Projects](https://docs.stripe.com/projects.md): Set up and manage third-party services like hosting, databases, auth, and observability using the Stripe CLI.

## Machine-readable resources 

MCP server (https://mcp.stripe.com): Connect any MCP-compatible client to interact with the Stripe API and search documentation.

Plain-text docs: Append `.md` to any **docs.stripe.com** URL (for example, https://docs.stripe.com/agents.md) for Markdown output.

[Build an agent](https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/for-agents.md): Present product feeds, manage carts, and accept payments as an agent.

[Billing for LLM tokens](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/token-billing.md): Usage-based billing for metered resources like LLM tokens or API calls.
