What each says it does

MCP server for Alternative Payments — customers, invoices, payment requests, payouts, webhooks.

How to run each

Stripe

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Alternative Payments As a local MCP server: Docker image

Claude Code

claude mcp add --env "ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_ID>" --env "ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_SECRET>" --transport stdio alternative-payments-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_ID -e ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_SECRET ghcr.io/wyre-technology/alternative-payments-mcp:v1.0.8

Requires: ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_ID (secret), ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_SECRET (secret)

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of Alternative Payments publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Settings each asks for

Only Stripe asks for

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (secret)

Only Alternative Payments asks for

ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_ID (secret)
ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_CLIENT_SECRET (secret)
ALTERNATIVE_PAYMENTS_ENVIRONMENT
AUTH_MODE
LOG_LEVEL
MCP_TRANSPORT

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
