Getting Your Stripe API Key

Steps

Go to Stripe Dashboard
Click Developers in the top navigation
Select API keys from the left sidebar
Copy your Secret key (starts with sk_live_ for production or sk_test_ for testing)

Use sk_test_ keys during development — they work with test card numbers and won't charge real cards.

Troubleshooting

Missing or Invalid Headers

Cause: API key not provided in request headers or incorrect format
Solution:
1. Verify Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY and X-Mewcp-Credential-Id: CREDENTIAL-ID headers are present
2. Check API key is active in your MewCP account

Insufficient Credits

Cause: API calls have exceeded your request limits
Solution:
1. Check credit usage in your Curious Layer dashboard
2. Upgrade to a paid plan or add credits for higher limits
3. Contact support for credit adjustments

Credential Not Connected

Cause: No Stripe credential linked to your account
Solution:
1. Go to Credentials in your MewCP dashboard
2. Add your Stripe API key (static auth)
3. Retry the request with the correct X-Mewcp-Credential-Id header

Malformed Request Payload

Cause: JSON payload is invalid or missing required fields
Solution:
1. Validate JSON syntax before sending
2. Ensure all required tool parameters are included
3. Check parameter types match expected values

Server Not Found

Cause: Incorrect server name in the API endpoint
Solution:
1. Verify endpoint format: {server-name}/mcp/{tool-name}
2. Use correct server name from documentation
3. Check available servers in your Curious Layer account

Stripe API Error

Cause: Upstream Stripe API returned an error
Solution:
1. Check Stripe service status at Stripe Status Page
2. Verify your API key has the required permissions (live vs. test mode)
3. Review the error message for specific details — Stripe errors are descriptive
