$ npx skills add stripe/link-cli --skill create-payment-credentialRequires link-cli auth login. The skill is user-invocable and the human approves every purchase; it can also run as an MCP server with link-cli --mcp.
Best for
Letting an agent complete a real purchase on a merchant site, with the human approving each transaction and the real credentials never exposed.
Not ideal for
Anything resembling a sandbox. This spends real money on live merchant sites — treat it as a production capability with a human in the loop, never as a dev-time convenience.
About this skill
Gets secure, one-time-use payment credentials (cards, tokens) from a Link wallet so agents can complete purchases on behalf of users. Use when the user says "get me a card", "buy something", "pay for X", "make a purchase", "I need to pay", "complete checkout", or asks to transact on any merchant site. Use when the user asks to connect, log in to, or sign up for their Link account.
