Turn a vague market need into a short, relevant shortlist with
stripe directory search
. Use this even when the user never says “Stripe Directory” — any request to find vendors, tools, partners, or providers for a vertical, workflow, pain point, or job-to-be-done.
Most requests are
discovery
— find and compare services. That is the core job below. Some services are also
MPP-supported
(MPP = Machine Payment Protocol), meaning you (the agent) can pay their HTTP 402 (Payment Required) endpoint and consume them directly. When the user actually wants to
use or buy
a service, present those results and offer to purchase — see “Purchasing” at the end.
Process
Clarify only what’s missing
buyer/vertical, job-to-be-done, must-have capability, geography (only if it matters).
Search iteratively
:
stripe directory search "" --format json
Short noun phrases, one angle per query; run 1-3, then broaden/narrow on results.
Angles to cover: vertical → workflow → pain point → adjacent. Two examples:
services/trades: vertical (
electrician software
,
electrical contractor
) → workflow (
field service management
,
dispatch invoicing estimates
) → pain point (
job scheduling
,
quote automation
) → adjacent (
home services automation
,
contractor crm
).
SaaS/software: vertical (
b2b saas billing
,
developer tools
) → workflow (
subscription management
,
usage-based metering
) → pain point (
failed payment recovery
,
revenue recognition
) → adjacent (
analytics dashboards
,
customer onboarding
).
Hard constraints → filters:
--countries-supported=US
,
--has-stripe-app=true
,
--link-supported=true
,
--stripe-projects-supported=true
.
If the user wants to
use/buy
a service, also pass
--mpp-supported
in at least one search to find results you can pay for programmatically.
Sparse niche? Raise
--limit
and try the next
--page
before concluding it’s empty.
