Does every team member need their own Stripe account?

No. Loopthink holds one key or token for Stripe. Your people sign in to Loopthink with their own identity, and every call to Stripe is logged under their name. Seats in Stripe stay where they are today.

Who has to add the connector in Claude?

One person with the right to add connectors in your Claude workspace, once. After that every team member enables it for themselves. Nobody pastes a key, nobody edits a config file.

Where does the Stripe key live?

In Loopthink, encrypted, in the EU. It never reaches Claude and never reaches the people using the connector. Rotate it in Stripe whenever you like and paste the new one once.

Can somebody write to Stripe from the chat?

Not unless you switch it on. Write actions are a separate row in the permission matrix and are off for every role by default. If a role needs one write tool, you grant that one tool to that one role.

Free for one person and two connectors, no card. Pro is €19 a month for up to five people and every connector on the site, with roles, field masking and a 30-day audit. Team is €49 for ten people and adds your own REST APIs and SQL databases, your own domain and your own identity provider. No call needed.

We already run our own MCP server for Stripe. Does it still work?

Yes. Point it at Loopthink and it inherits the same login, roles, masking and audit. Nothing on the server has to change.

Show all steps

1
Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Workbench → API keys → Create restricted key. Or open dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys directly.
2
Set Read on Balance, Charges and Refunds, Customers, Invoices, Payouts and Payment Disputes. Leave every other resource on None; never pick Write.
3
Name the key after Loopthink, confirm with two-factor, copy it once and paste it into Loopthink. Nobody on your team ever sees it.
4
Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add, and choose Add custom connector. The dialog asks for exactly two things: a name your colleagues will recognise, and the MCP server URL, which is your Loopthink connector URL.
5
Continue, and Claude reads the server before it asks you anything. It detects that the server signs people in, and that it can register itself, so the sign-in and OAuth-client options are already chosen. Nothing has to be typed there, no client id, no secret, no request header.
6
Add it, then each team member opens Connectors, clicks Connect on it and signs in once with their own account. In a chat the connector appears in the + menu. Toggle it on and ask.

What people actually ask Claude about Stripe.

Why Loopthink

Stripe has an MCP server. Why Loopthink?

Stripe's own MCP server signs in one person with all their Stripe rights, and its write tool covers refunds, payment links and subscriptions.

Loopthink runs hosted and gives Claude a URL. Every colleague signs in with their own account and sees only what you ticked.
