What can Cursor do with Stripe?
Cursor's agent reads your Stripe data while it edits: it fills components with real data, checks tracking code and writes the analysis next to your code.
Compare Stripe successful payments last month with the purchase events our checkout sends to GA4 and Meta. Where do they differ?
Stripe: 1,940 payments. GA4: 1,710 purchases, Meta: 2,380. GA4 misses Apple Pay orders, and Meta double counts orders when the thank-you page is refreshed.

Saved 64 campaigns. 12% of new revenue has no utm_campaign, mostly from the mobile signup flow.
Source: Stripe + your code
Look at our signup code and check that every new Stripe customer gets the utm fields in metadata. Where do we drop them?
The Google sign-in path skips metadata. That's 31% of signups since September.

Yes. Add Lemonado to Cursor's mcp.json and connect Stripe in Lemonado. The agent can then query payments, subscriptions and refunds while it works on your code, with no Stripe key in your environment files.
Open Cursor's settings and find lemonado in the MCP list. A red dot or a sign-in prompt means the login expired. Restart Cursor after editing mcp.json. In Lemonado, check that Stripe is connected and External tools is on for the company. If revenue looks wrong, check you connected the account that takes live payments. Test-mode payments aren't real revenue.
Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Weekly ad spend across Google and Meta next to new Stripe revenue for the last quarter."
MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
