Read your Stripe revenue in Windsurf
Once your Stripe account is connected in the dashboard, read-only, the agent in your editor can answer money questions without you opening Stripe: what MRR is, who started paying this week, who cancelled, and how collected revenue is trending.
Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) reads MCP servers from one file in your home directory, shared by every project. Remote servers take a serverUrl and optional headers.
Setup
You need a secret key (nv_live_…) from Dashboard → API keys.
01Add the server to mcp_config.json
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"nordva": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.nordva.dev",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer nv_live_..."
}
}
}
}The field is serverUrl, not url. The file is outside your repositories, so the key can sit in it; Windsurf also replaces ${env:NAME} with an environment variable if you would rather keep it out. npx nordva init writes this file for you.
02Check the connection
In Cascade, open the MCP servers settings and refresh. nordva should be listed with its tools. Ask Cascade to run setup_check.
Then ask Windsurf
- What's my MRR, and did it go up this month?
- Who paid in the last week, and did anyone cancel?
- Show revenue for the last 90 days. Which week was best?
- Is my Stripe connection healthy? When did it last sync?
For “How did revenue do over the last 30 days?” Windsurf calls get_revenue_summary with:
{
"period_days": 30
} Returned: Per currency: MRR, active and trialing subscriptions, paying customers, new and churned subscriptions with their MRR, net MRR change, collected revenue and payment count, plus the sync status and the time of the last sync.

Behaviour worth knowing
- There is no tool that connects Stripe, and no tool accepts a key. The status tool tells the agent to send you to the dashboard and never to ask for a key in the conversation.
- Launch only reads your Stripe account. The key is a restricted key with read permissions, encrypted at rest, and never appears in a tool result.
- Amounts are in the smallest currency unit, per currency, and are never converted or summed across currencies. The tool descriptions tell the agent the same.
- MRR is operational: yearly divided by twelve, running coupons applied, metered and tiered prices counted as zero, refunds not subtracted.
- Every result carries the sync status. If the first import is still running, or the key was revoked, the agent is told the numbers are incomplete or stale.
- History reaches 90 days on Indie and 24 months on Builder. A longer range is shortened and the result says so.
- The file is shared by all your projects, so it points at one Launch project at a time. Running npx nordva init in another project points it there.
