Backfill Missed Stripe Webhook Events
Retrieves and processes missed webhook events from the last 30 days to restore data consistency after a disabled endpoint, preventing revenue loss from unprocessed payments or subscriptions.
How it works
First, identify the root cause of the webhook failure by checking the Stripe Dashboard for error codes like timeouts or 500s. Re-enable the endpoint to resume new events. Then, use the Stripe API to list events with `delivery_success=false` filtered by relevant types. Process these events using an idempotent handler to avoid duplicates, ensuring side effects are applied only once per event ID.

Help me recover from a disabled Stripe webhook. First, explain how to check the Dashboard for failure reasons. Then, provide the API call to fetch missed events using `delivery_success=false`. Finally, suggest an idempotency check to ensure I don't double-process orders during backfill.MCP servers it needs
