Abstract: In this work, we calculate the form factors and the coupling constant of the strange-charmed vertex $J/\psi D_s^* D_s$ in the framework of the QCD sum rules by studying their three-point correlation functions. All the possible off-shell cases are considered, $D_s$, $D_s^*$ and $J/\psi$, resulting in three different form factors. These form factors are extrapolated to the pole of their respective off-shell mesons, giving the same coupling constant for the process. Our final result for the $J/\psi D_s^* D_s$ coupling constant is $g_{J/\psi D^*_s D_s} = 4.30^{{+0.42}_{-0.37}\text{GeV}^{-1}$.}
