Claude Code Stripe retrieve_balance

How to: Claude Code Stripe retrieve_balance

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:retrieve_balance

Add Stripe to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.stripe.com
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something retrieve_balance does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls retrieve_balance 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.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude 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.
