Stripe Projects
Stripe Projects lets you — and your AI coding agents — add services, generate credentials, and manage billing from the command line. No dashboards, no manual signup. AgentPhone is an official provider, so an agent can give itself a phone number in one command.
Provision AgentPhone
Install the Stripe CLI and Projects plugin, initialize your project with stripe projects init, and inspect stripe projects catalog before adding the service:
This provisions an AgentPhone number, generates an API key, and syncs the credentials into your project’s .env (as AGENTPHONE_API_KEY). You pay AgentPhone directly at standard rates through your Stripe billing. Review the CLI’s purchase details; provisioning is a real purchase, and outbound messaging still needs SMS registration.
Why it’s useful
- One command instead of signing up, copying an API key, and wiring env vars by hand.
- Agent-friendly — paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and your coding agent can provision its own phone number mid-build.
- Portable & secure — credentials live in your project vault and sync across machines, teammates, and agents.
Use it
Once provisioned, load AGENTPHONE_API_KEY from your project’s environment file into the server process or shell. Writing .env does not automatically export a variable into an existing shell — use any SDK, the MCP server, or the REST API immediately:
