What Upgrade Stripe is

Upgrade Stripe is a skill published in the stripe/ai repository on GitHub, which has about 1.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “One-stop shop for building AI-powered products and businesses with Stripe.”

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: frontmatter with a name and a description, followed by instructions Claude follows. Claude loads a skill automatically when a task matches its description, and you can also run it directly with a slash and its name.

Skills work in Claude Code and in Claude Cowork, which makes Upgrade Stripe a portable way to give Claude the same method everywhere.

How to install Upgrade Stripe

Claude Code

Download the upgrade-stripe folder from the repository.
Save it as ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for all projects, or .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for one project.
Claude loads it automatically when a task matches; you can also run it with / and its name.

Claude Cowork

Zip the skill folder so SKILL.md sits at the top level of the folder.
Open Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
Start a task that matches the description, or call it by name with /.

Inside the source file

An excerpt from README.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.

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.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Stripe hosts a remote MCP server at https://mcp.stripe.com. This allows secure MCP client access via OAuth. View the docs here.

You can also build autonomous agents with MCP as well.

Agent skills

Agent skills are instructions that agents can use to build faster and more accurately. Stripe offers a collection of skills that help your agents use the latest best practices when building with Stripe.

If you use one of these popular agent harnesses, we recommend installing the official Stripe plugins, which include additional agent tools and update automatically.

Claude Code

Run this command in your project:

claude plugin install stripe@claude-plugins-official

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
