Perplexity

Look up Chargebee billing records inside Claude Desktop

The `list_customers` tool lets you look up customer records inside Claude Desktop without opening a web browser. Your agent queries your customer database directly, pulling up files without you leaving the chat. To check specific details, your agent runs `get_subscription` to find out what plan they are on before you reply. This keeps your support flow fast and contextual.

Update subscription states using Claude Desktop commands

You can execute `cancel_subscription` directly inside Claude Desktop when a user requests a refund or cancellation. Processing this change inside your chat window saves you from context switching. If you need to provision a new account, the agent runs `create_subscription` or `create_customer` using details from your conversation. Your billing database stays accurate with zero manual data entry.

Audit invoices and plans with this MCP Server

Your agent runs `list_invoices` to pull billing transaction history directly into your Claude Desktop window. Pulling these records no longer requires exporting CSVs. By running `list_plans` and `list_addons`, the agent matches customer requests against your actual pricing tiers to prevent billing mismatches. Claude displays your product catalog in a clean markdown table.
