How do I use the Stripe MCP server in Cursor or VS Code?

In Cursor, add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under "mcpServers" as {"stripe": {"url": "https://mcp.stripe.com"}}. In VS Code, add it to .vscode/mcp.json under "servers" with "type": "http" and the same URL. Both apps also accept the one-click install links on this page.
