Components

Model

  • Claude Opus 4.8

MCP servers

  • stripe
  • postgres
  • github

Stack

  • Stripe SDK
  • Stripe CLI for local webhooks
  • Postgres

Rules

  • Always verify the webhook signature before processing
  • Make every handler idempotent on the Stripe event id
  • Treat the webhook as the source of truth, not the redirect

How it works

  • Stripe MCP reads products and prices so handlers match real ids
  • Generates a signature-verified webhook with idempotency keys
  • Maps checkout.session.completed and subscription.deleted to the tier column
  • Stripe CLI replays events locally so flows are tested before deploy

Summary

A Cursor setup focused on the error-prone parts of payments: idempotent webhook handlers, signature verification and keeping your database tier in sync with Stripe. For SaaS builders adding billing who cannot afford a webhook that silently drops events.
