Developer uses FetchSandbox MCP to fix CI mocks for Stripe integration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer experienced production issues after their CI pipeline, which mocked Stripe's API, passed. The mock only verified the API's shape, not its lifecycle, leading to a bug where a PaymentIntent ID was not stored correctly. To prevent this, the developer implemented FetchSandbox's MCP (Mocked Cloud Provider) locally and in CI to test the full payment flow, including webhooks and state transitions, ensuring that code changes by AI agents are validated before deployment.

    Our CI mocked Stripe. Production still broke on step two.

    <p>Green CI. Broken staging. Sound familiar?</p> <p>Our pipeline mocked <code>POST /v1/payment_intents</code> and asserted <code>200</code>. Merge button enabled. First real checkout in staging failed because the handler never stored the PaymentIntent ID — step two of the webhook…
