Create Payment Credential Use Link to get secure, one-time-use payment credentials from a Link wallet to complete purchases. The CLI can produce one of two credential types: A virtual card (PAN) for use with a standard web checkout form. The issued card works anywhere. A Shared Payment Token (SPT) when the seller is in the Stripe Network and accepts payments programmatically (for example with Machine Payment Protocols). It can also create a Link Pay Token (LPT)-bound SpendRequest for a supported Stripe checkout surface. LPT is an execution mode for the card flow, not a third credential type. Installing with npm -g @stripe/link-cli. Or run directly with npx @stripe/link-cli. Running commands Link CLI can run as an MCP server or as a standalone CLI. MCP: Add the following to your MCP client config (.mcp.json, etc.) Run the MCP server directly with npx @stripe/link-cli@latest --mcp. Call tools/list to see all available MCP tools.
