What it does
Stripe's Link CLI can run as a local MCP server, started with link-cli --mcp, so an MCP client can use a Link wallet for agent payments. Its tools let the agent check the signed-in Link account, list saved payment methods, create spend requests that the user approves in Link, and retrieve approved one-time virtual cards, Shared Payment Tokens or Link Pay Tokens. A serve command exposes the same tools over HTTP on the loopback address. The CLI must be installed from npm and signed in to a Link account; the README says it is only available to US and Canadian Link accounts.
Capabilities
- Create Link spend requests for user approval
- Retrieve approved virtual cards and payment tokens
