If you don’t have a Stripe account, you can call a CLI command to generate working API keys with no registration required. You can install the Stripe CLI (npm i -g @stripe/cli) and run the command stripe sandbox create to get started.
If stripe sandbox create is used, don’t use MCP.
If you try to use MCP after running sandbox creation, first make sure stripe sandbox claim is run. Use stripe whoami --format json for CLI auth checks; do not run stripe config --list.
