> Where to issue a Stripe secret key and connect it to Nora.

Stripe integrations let your agents create charges, manage subscriptions, refund customers, and read transaction history. Nora authenticates with a Bearer secret key.

## Where to apply for credentials

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a key type">
    * **Restricted Key** (recommended for production) — pick only the resources the agent needs.
    * **Standard Secret Key** (`sk_live_...`) — full access. Easier for dev, dangerous for production.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the key">Stripe shows it once. Test mode keys start with `sk_test_`.</Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Webhook secret">
    For event-driven agents, generate a webhook signing secret under **Developers → Webhooks**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect in Nora

Paste the secret key. Optionally paste a webhook signing secret. Nora calls `GET /v1/balance` to verify.

## MCP server

Stripe ships an official MCP server:

* **Package:** `@stripe/mcp`
* **Docs:** [github.com/stripe/agent-toolkit](https://github.com/stripe/agent-toolkit/tree/main/typescript/examples/mcp)
* **Env:** `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` (which Nora injects).

## Environment variables Nora injects

| Variable                | Source                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`     | Secret Key field                |
| `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | Webhook Signing Secret (if set) |
