Sequel

How to Connect Stripe to Gemini

Query your Stripe data directly from Gemini using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Stripe to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Gemini using the config on this page. Gemini can then query your live Stripe data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Gemini about your Stripe data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Stripe query, runs it, and Gemini hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask Gemini
  • What's our MRR for May, broken down by plan?
  • How many customers churned last month?
  • Show me the top 10 customers by lifetime revenue.
  • What were our Stripe fees in Q1?
  • List failed payment intents in the last 7 days with the failure reason.

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Stripe to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Stripe. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Gemini's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Gemini about your data

Restart Gemini and start asking questions. "What's our MRR for May, broken down by plan?" — and get a real answer backed by live Stripe data.

Why Gemini

What Gemini does with your Stripe data

Ground Gemini in your real data

Gemini with Sequel fetches live data from your databases before answering. Every number in the response is pulled from your actual data — not estimated or hallucinated.

Multi-modal analysis

Combine Gemini's multi-modal reasoning with Sequel's data access. Ask Gemini to analyze trends in your database data and produce a written summary, chart description, or presentation outline.

Build grounded AI apps faster

Developers building on the Gemini API can use Sequel as a data-access tool, giving their apps real-time database access without building custom integrations for every data source.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Gemini

Place this in Google AI Studio or Gemini API and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

Google AI Studio or Gemini API

# Gemini API (tool_config)
{
  "tool_config": {
    "function_calling_config": {
      "mode": "AUTO"
    }
  },
  "tools": [
    {
      "url_context": {
        "mcp_server_url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Install

Install Stripe MCP in Gemini

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

gemini mcp add --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp
  1. 1Run the command in your terminal. Add --scope user to add it to every project.
  2. 2Start Gemini CLI and run /mcp auth sequel. Sign in in the browser.
  3. 3Run /mcp to see the tools, then ask a question.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Stripe to Gemini?

You need two things: (1) connect Stripe to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Gemini using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Gemini can query your Stripe data directly.

What Stripe data can Gemini access?

Gemini can access any data available through your Stripe connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Stripe data sent to Gemini's servers?

Query results are returned to Gemini as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Stripe and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Stripe and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Stripe accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Stripe accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Gemini will be able to query all of them.

How do I connect Gemini to Sequel?

Gemini's MCP support is available through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. In AI Studio, go to Settings → Extensions and add the Sequel MCP server URL. For the API, include the MCP server in your tool_config as shown above.

Which Gemini models support MCP?

MCP tool use is supported on Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and newer models. Check Google's latest documentation for the current list of models with MCP/tool use support.

Can I use Sequel with Gemini in Google Workspace?

Gemini for Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail) has a different extension model. Sequel MCP currently targets the Gemini API and AI Studio. Enterprise Workspace integrations may be available in future.

Is this suitable for building production apps with Gemini?

Yes. You can use Sequel MCP in Gemini API applications by passing it as a tool. This is ideal for building internal tools, dashboards, or customer-facing AI features that need real database access.

How do I connect Stripe to Sequel?

Create a Restricted Key in your Stripe Dashboard with read-only permissions on the resources you want Sequel to query (customers, charges, invoices, subscriptions, etc.), paste it into Sequel's Stripe connector, and click Test. The whole process takes under a minute.

Should I use a Secret Key or a Restricted Key?

Always prefer a Restricted Key. It lets you scope access exactly to the resources Sequel needs (read-only), and you can revoke or rotate it from the Stripe Dashboard at any time without affecting the rest of your integrations.

Does Sequel use Stripe Connect / OAuth?

No. Stripe Connect OAuth is designed for platforms that act on behalf of merchants — marketplaces, billing-on-behalf-of, etc. Sequel reads your own Stripe data, where a Restricted Key is the simpler, narrower grant.

Can Sequel make changes to my Stripe account?

No. The Stripe connector ships only read tools (list customers, list charges, get balance, search, etc.) and you should pair it with a read-only Restricted Key for defense in depth.
