Stripe for humans
Stripe is the internet's default payments API: Checkout, Billing, Connect, Tax, Treasury, and Identity. The Dashboard is a fine human surface. The product is the API — versioned, idempotent, documented with copy-paste recipes. Agent Twin Score is among the highest in this catalog because a machine can take a payment end-to-end without a GUI. We do not invent processing-volume brag numbers. Twin Score on this directory is 84 for humans and 96 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Stripe is sold by Stripe, founded 2010, headquartered in South San Francisco, USA / Dublin, Ireland. Pricing in public materials: Pay-as-you-go processing plus billed products (Billing, Tax, Radar, Connect). Machine capabilities we record: API excellent, MCP basic, CLI excellent, docs excellent, auth API keys, OAuth for Connect, Restricted keys.
