Stripe DirectoryPublic preview

Stripe Directory is the single place to discover businesses across the Stripe network. Search by keyword and get structured results you or your agent can act on.

Search for businesses

Run stripe directory search with one or more keywords:

> stripe directory search "web browsing api" --format compact

                              Stripe      Stripe       Machine
Name           Profile        Apps        Projects     Payments     MCP          Link

Results include structured dataprovider slugs, MPP endpoints, and app listingsthat you or your agent can use to continue the integration.

What Stripe Directory indexes

• Stripe Apps: Published apps on the Stripe App Marketplace that extend your Stripe Dashboard, including billing tools, analytics, and support integrations.
• Stripe Projects providers: Services available through Stripe Projects that you can provision with a CLI command.
• Machine payments endpoints: Pay-per-call APIs on mpp.dev you can pay programmatically with mppx fetch.
• Stripe business network: Businesses and services across the Stripe network.

Set up Stripe Directory in your terminal

Use the Stripe CLI directory plugin to search for businesses from your terminal.

1. Install or upgrade the Stripe CLI.
2. Install the directory plugin:

stripe plugin install directory

To upgrade the plugin, run stripe plugin upgrade directory.

Configure agents to use Stripe Directory

Stripe Directory lets AI agents discover, evaluate, and integrate services autonomously.

Structured output for agents

Use --format json to get structured output:

stripe directory search "serverless postgres database" --format json

An agent can parse the results, compare options against your requirements, and use the returned mpp.dev endpoint or projects.dev listing to set up the integration automatically.

Install skills for your agent

Use one of these options to connect your agent to Stripe Directory.

npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com --skill stripe-directory -g -y

Example uses

Integrate with Stripe Projects

If a developer building an application needs a database provider, they can leverage Stripe Directory to not only find one but integrate with it as well.

First, the developer searches for the service:

stripe directory search "serverless postgres database"

This produces several results, one of which is Neon:

 Neon                                                                         
 Serverless postgres database                                                 

 Web               https://stripe.com/@neon                                   
                   https://neon.com/                                          
                                                                              
 Stripe Apps       Neon                                                       
                   https://stri.pe/sl/LIsxeQPu                                
                                                                              
 Stripe Projects   Learn more using                                           
                   stripe projects catalog neon                               
                                                                              
 Machine Payments                                                            
 Link supported         	                                               

Since Neon is also a Stripe Projects provider, Directory returns the command to inspect the providers catalog listing.

stripe projects catalog neon

The result of that command not only provides information about the offering, but also recommends the command to integrate:

stripe projects add neon

Make machine payments

When a search result shows a machine payments endpoint, you or your agent can pay and consume the service immediately using mppx.

If you (or your agent) were looking for a service to send a letter and wanted to pay programmatically, you could search for MPP-supported services:

stripe directory search "send mail" --mpp-supported

This produces results, one of which is PostalForm:

 PostalForm                                                                   
 PostalForm enables sending real postal mail via agentic payment rails and

                   Pay using mppx fetch <endpoint>

Since PostalForm supports machine payments, Directory results include the next command to run to learn more and pay the service provider:

mppx fetch https://postalform.com

mppx shows the price and gets your confirmation before any money moves.

List your company in Stripe Directory

Add yourself to search results

To make your business discoverable in Stripe Directory, set up a public Stripe profile. Your listing appears in search results immediately after you publish your profile.

1. Set up your Stripe profile. You can leave some fields blank (like phone or address) if you dont want them visible publicly.
2. Keep the Make your profile private option disabled.

To maximize the likelihood that your business appears in users search results, take the following steps:

1. Make sure Stripe can crawl your site: Our search uses your website content to match your business to relevant searches. If your site blocks Stripe crawlers, you make yourself hard to find. Learn how to allow Stripe to crawl your site.
2. Write a clear Stripe profile description

• Describe what you do in plain language, the words your customers would actually type. Think about the problem you solve, not how youd market it. For example, it helps freelancers send invoices and get paid faster would find more customers than a next-generation financial operations platform.
• Use entire phrases such as appointment booking for salons instead of scattering the words separately.
• If you offer multiple things, mention all of thememail marketing, newsletters, and audience analytics match a wider range of searches than email alone.

1. Make your Stripe profile display name and handle accurate: If someone searches any of these directly, well show your profile first. Make sure they all match what customers know you as.

View your Directory listing

1. Ensure youve installed the Stripe CLI and logged in with the same account that set up your Stripe Profile.
2. Use stripe directory me to view your own Directory listing.

Remove yourself from search results

To remove yourself from search results, enable Make your profile private in your Stripe profile settings.
