VS Code Stripe create_customer

How to: VS Code Stripe create_customer

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http tool:create_customer

Add Stripe to VS Code

  1. 01

    Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

    Ask for something create_customer does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls create_customer itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Stripe's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
