Question 1

What is Stripe MCP for ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Stripe MCP for ChatGPT is a connector that lets you talk to your Stripe account in natural language. After securely linking your Stripe API keys through Ravenala, you can check payments, create invoices, manage customers, and analyze revenue right in chat.

Question 2

How do I set up the Stripe Connector?

Accepted Answer

Install Ravenala, add your Stripe API keys in its secure setup, choose test or live mode, and authorize access. In a few minutes, ChatGPT can read and act on permitted Stripe data using plain English commands.

Question 3

Is my Stripe data secure with this integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connections use encrypted APIs and scoped keys. Sensitive card data is never stored by ChatGPT or Ravenala. Access is limited to the permissions you grant, and all requests follow Stripe’s security best practices.

Question 4

Can I manage Stripe customers via ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create customers, update profiles, search by email or metadata, manage payment methods, and adjust subscriptions by asking in natural language.

Question 5

What actions are supported with Stripe through chat?

Accepted Answer

Common tasks include viewing charges, issuing refunds, creating invoices, managing subscriptions and products, retrieving reports, checking disputes, and exporting summaries—mirroring most Stripe dashboard workflows.

Question 6

Does it work in both test and live modes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect separate keys for test and live, switch contexts safely, and validate flows in test before running them in production.

Question 7

How does it help with reports and revenue?

Accepted Answer

Ask questions like "What was last month’s revenue?" or "Top customers by spend." You’ll get instant summaries, trends, and downloadable report data without building queries or navigating multiple pages.

Question 8

Can I process refunds and handle disputes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can issue full or partial refunds, look up charge details, check dispute status, and get next-step guidance for responding to chargebacks.

Question 9

Why use this over the Stripe Dashboard?

Accepted Answer

It’s faster for common questions, reduces clicks, automates routine reports, and helps teammates with limited Stripe experience get accurate answers via conversational prompts.

Question 10

Are there API rate limits I should know about?

Accepted Answer

The integration respects Stripe’s rate limits. Calls are batched and retried when appropriate, and you’ll get clear messages if limits are approached to avoid interruptions.
