Stripe AI

This repo is the one-stop shop for building AI-powered products and businesses on top of Stripe.

It contains a collection of SDKs to help you integrate Stripe with LLMs and agent frameworks, including:

@stripe/ai-sdk - for integrating Stripe's billing infrastructure with Vercel's ai and @ai-sdk libraries.
@stripe/token-meter - for integrating Stripe's billing infrastructure with native SDKs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, without any framework dependencies.

Stripe built this right. Full API access with proper tool scoping. I use it daily to look up customer data and debug webhook issues.

Nina Volkov6 months ago

The subscription management tools are excellent. Creating payment links through Claude is incredibly fast for prototyping.

Dev Sharma8 months ago

Very well built. Only giving 4 stars because I wish it had more granular tool selection. The --tools=all flag is a bit broad.
