Stripe CLI is the official command-line tool from Stripe for interacting with the Stripe API directly from your terminal. It allows you to manage payments, customers, subscriptions, and other Stripe resources without leaving the command line.
Key capabilities for AI agents include listing and creating API resources (customers, payments, invoices), forwarding webhooks to local endpoints for testing, tailing API request logs in real-time, and triggering webhook events for development workflows. The CLI outputs structured data that agents can parse and act upon.
Stripe CLI also supports creating restricted API keys, managing Stripe Apps, and running fixtures for reproducible test setups — making it a valuable tool for automating payment-related development tasks.
