List customers

List customers

Returns customers newest first; pass an email to get only the customers with exactly that address.

Note: The email filter is case-sensitive.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "stripe": { "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com" } } }

Call the MCP tool stripe_api_read with GET /v1/customers.

Server URL: https://mcp.stripe.com

CLI (official)

Install the command and sign in with it, then confirm it runs.

npm install -g @stripe/cli
stripe --version

Run stripe customers list.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.stripe.com
• Endpoint: GET /v1/customers
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $STRIPE_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
• Docs: https://docs.stripe.com/api

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
