This guide explains how to connect Stripe to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with Stripe in plain language. For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the [tool catalog in the Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp). ## Also integrate Stripe MCP with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/atomic-agent) ## TL;DR Composio exposes 1,700+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get: - Connect to 1,700+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions. - Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls. - Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean. ## Connect Stripe MCP to Grok Bot ### Connecting Stripe to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Stripe entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute. ### Set up Grok Bot Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from [x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot) and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices. Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time. ### Connect Stripe ### 1. Add the Composio plugin Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot. [Add to Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot/plugin/32661537) Grok Bot opens the Composio plugin, showing its connector and skills. Click Add. ### 2. Authenticate Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed. Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens. ### 3. Connect your Stripe account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Stripe or give it any Stripe task. For example, ask it to: - "Create a new customer and invoice" - "List open charges for a customer" - "Refund a payment by transaction ID" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Stripe account is ready to use. ## What is Grok Bot? Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps. With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like Stripe through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Stripe MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Stripe MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Stripe account. It provides structured and secure access to your customers, products, payments, account resources, analytics, and documentation, so your agent can find records, update resources, analyze business data, research Stripe features, and plan payment integrations on your behalf. - Customer, product, and payment management: Have your agent find, create, and update customers, products, payments, and other supported Stripe resources. - Revenue and business analysis: Let the agent analyze Stripe Sigma and Metrics data to answer questions about payments and account performance. - Stripe documentation research: Direct your agent to search Stripe documentation and find guidance for specific implementation questions. - Payment integration planning: Instruct your agent to develop a Stripe payment integration plan based on your product and technical needs. - Connected account access: Have your agent list the Stripe accounts available in the current session or provide the Dashboard page for managing account access and permissions. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `STRIPE_MCP_LIST_AVAILABLE_ACCOUNTS_OR_ORGS` | List available accounts or orgs | Lists all Stripe accounts in this session with their stripe_context and livemode values. - Call this first to get stripe_context and livemode before any account-specific operation. - After calling, ask the user which account to use unless already specified. - Warn the user before switching between testmode and livemode. | | `STRIPE_MCP_MANAGE_STRIPE_ACCOUNTS` | Manage stripe accounts | Returns a URL to the Stripe Dashboard where users can add accounts, remove accounts, or change permissions for this session. - Use when the user wants to add, remove, or modify permissions for an account. - Call this directly — no need to call list_available_accounts_or_orgs first. - Present the URL to the user and wait for them to confirm they completed their changes. - After confirmation, call list_available_accounts_or_orgs to sync the updated account list. | | `STRIPE_MCP_SEARCH_STRIPE_DOCUMENTATION` | Search stripe documentation | Search the Stripe documentation for the given question and language. It takes two arguments: - question (str): The user question to search an answer for in the Stripe documentation. - language (str, optional): The programming language to search for in the documentation. | | `STRIPE_MCP_SEND_STRIPE_MCP_FEEDBACK` | Send stripe mcp feedback | Submit feedback from user or agent about Stripe's MCP server tools. Valid: "the search tool returned irrelevant results", "I wish there was a tool for X" Invalid: Stripe API complaints, AI model issues, IDE/environment problems - Only call when feedback clearly targets MCP tools. - If feedback is about one specific tool, include its name in tool_name. - If feedback is from user, quote their exact message and set source to "user". - If a tool didn't follow your expectations as an agent, set source to "agent". | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_ANALYTICS` | Stripe analytics | This tool is for analyzing Stripe Sigma and Metrics data (e.g. about revenue, charges, products, invoices, subscriptions, disputes, transactions, tax tables, payments etc) and running SQL-based reporting queries. Use it for historical analytics, aggregations, and business intelligence questions (e.g. MRR, churn, cohorts, revenue trends). Prefer this tool over making multiple Stripe API calls that would need to be joined or aggregated client-side. ## SQL Query Runs **execute_query_run**: Runs a SQL query (Trino) against reporting tables. Requires `sql`. Returns a QueryRun object; use retrieve_query_run to poll. **retrieve_query_run**: Retrieves a QueryRun's status and results. Requires `query_run_id`. **search_query_tables**: Searches available reporting tables by keyword. Requires `search_string`. **retrieve_query_table**: Gets full schema for a specific table. Requires `table_name`, which is the `name` parameter in each table. **execute_query_template**: Starts a pre-built query template for subscription/billing metrics (Trino, async). Requires `metric`. Optional: `dimensions`, `grains`, `metric_filters`. Returns a `query_run_id`; use retrieve_query_template to poll for results. **retrieve_query_template**: Retrieves the status/results of a template run started by execute_query_template. Requires `query_run_id`. ### workflow (custom SQL): 1. search_query_tables: find relevant tables 2. retrieve_query_table: get column names and types 3. execute_query_run: run SQL 4. retrieve_query_run: poll status, get download link ### workflow (query templates): 1. execute_query_template: start a template-based metric query (returns a query_run_id) 2. retrieve_query_template: poll with query_run_id (exponential backoff) until status is 'succeeded', then get download link ## Return types All monetary values returned by this tool are expressed in the smallest currency unit. For example: - 1000 is 10 USD (most two-decimal currencies like GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, divide by 100 to get the major unit value) - 10 is 10 JPY (zero-decimal currency) - 10000 is 10 BHD (three-decimal currency) - 1000000 is 1 USDC If you don't know how many decimals are in a currency's minor units, use the search_stripe_documentation tool to look it up in https://docs.stripe.com/currencies#minor-units | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_API_DETAILS` | Stripe api details | Get detailed parameter information for a specific Stripe API operation. Provide the stripe_api_operation_id from stripe_api_search results to see all path, query, and body parameters with their types, descriptions, and whether they are required. Use before calling the relevant Stripe API execution tool for operations with nested object fields. The response may include an "LLM Context" section with usage guidance specific to the operation — follow any instructions there. | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_API_READ` | Stripe api read | Read data from any Stripe API GET operation: 1. Use stripe_api_search to find the operation ID. 2. Use stripe_api_details to understand its parameters (required for operations with nested object fields like address, metadata, or restrictions). 3. Call this tool with the stripe_api_operation_id and a parameters object containing path and query parameters. For mutations (POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE), use stripe_api_write instead. Monetary values in responses are in the smallest currency unit (e.g. 1000 = $10.00 USD for most currencies). | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_API_SEARCH` | Stripe api search | Search for Stripe API operations by providing an intent and a resource to operate on. For the resource, use a specific, descriptive phrase (e.g. "issuing card transactions", "payout methods", "outbound payments") rather than a single generic noun — Stripe has many similar resources, and the extra qualifiers help disambiguate between them rather than causing a miss. Only fall back to the bare core noun (e.g. "transactions") if a specific multi-word search returns no results. Returns matching operations with their HTTP method, path, summary, and top-level parameter names with types. Does not include parameter descriptions, enum values, or nested object fields — use stripe_api_details to get those before calling the relevant Stripe API execution tool. | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_API_WRITE` | Stripe api write | Write data via any Stripe API POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE operation: 1. Use stripe_api_search to find the operation ID. 2. Use stripe_api_details to understand its parameters (required for operations with nested object fields like address, metadata, or restrictions). 3. Call this tool with the stripe_api_operation_id and a parameters object containing path, query, and body parameters. For read-only lookups (GET), use stripe_api_read instead. All monetary amounts must be in the smallest currency unit (e.g. 1000 = $10.00 USD for most currencies). | | `STRIPE_MCP_STRIPE_IMPLEMENTATION_PLANNER` | Stripe implementation planner | Stripe payment integration planner. Use this tool to help users accept payments, sell products online, set up billing, or build any Stripe integration. Call this BEFORE writing code when the user wants to charge customers, add a checkout flow, handle subscriptions, create invoices, or monetize their app. WHEN TO USE: Call this tool when the user wants to: - Accept payments, take payments, or charge customers (credit cards, bank transfers, wallets) - Sell online, build e-commerce, add a shopping cart, or create a checkout page - Set up subscriptions, recurring billing, metered billing, or usage-based pricing - Send invoices or collect one-time payments - Add Stripe to their app, integrate Stripe, or build a payment flow - Understand which Stripe products to use (Checkout, Elements, Payment Intents, Connect, Billing) - Plan an integration architecture before writing code - Monetize an app, add billing, or start charging users FIRST CALL GUIDANCE: Ask the user about their business and payment requirements before choosing a use case: - What do they sell? (physical goods, digital products, SaaS, services, marketplace) - Payment model? (one-time, subscriptions, invoices, usage-based) - Platform? (web, mobile app, in-person, payment links) - Complexity? (simple payment link vs. custom integration in existing tech stack) Then pass their full description as the message parameter. Returns JSON with use cases, decision trees, documentation links, and a guide_id for follow-up calls. RULES: - Do NOT pass a guide_id unless you received it from this tool in this conversation. - Do NOT retry with different guide_ids if one fails — omit guide_id to start fresh. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Stripe MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Stripe is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Stripe MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe_mcp/framework/atomic-agent) ## Related Toolkits - [Stripe](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe) - Stripe is a global online payments platform offering APIs for managing payments, customers, and subscriptions.

With a standalone Stripe MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Stripe tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Stripe and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Grok Bot? Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Stripe tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Stripe while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Stripe scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Stripe data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
