Skills for agents

Install instructions that help AI agents create more accurate Stripe integrations.

Agent skills give AI coding agents reusable guidance for building Stripe integrations. Stripe-maintained skills provide the newest product and API guidance based on the latest recommended practices.

Install skills with a plugin Recommended

Agent plugins for Stripe automatically configure the Stripe MCP server, install our skills and make sure they’re up-to-date. You get our latest capabilities without configuration or maintenance.

Command Line

npm install -g @stripe/cli@latest
stripe agent setup

This command automatically detects which agents you use, and runs the applicable commands.

Manually install agent skills

Alternatively, run the following command to install Stripe skills manually. You also need to regularly update the skills to get the latest versions.

Command Line

npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com

Warning

Manually installed skills don’t auto-update. Run npx skills update -y to get the latest versions.

To access live Stripe account data, also set up the Stripe MCP server. Together, Stripe MCP and skills provide capabilities similar to the plugin, but you must configure and maintain them separately. Vendor-specific plugin features, such as lifecycle hooks, aren’t available.
