Perplexity

Instantly pull active customer billing records

The `get_customer_details` tool lets you extract active account properties from Chargebee right inside your Claude Desktop chat window. You don't need to log into the billing portal to verify who is on what plan. Your agent uses `list_customers` to scan your CRM records and matches them with `list_invoices` to check payment history. It handles the manual lookup while you keep talking to your customer.

Control subscriptions using this MCP Server

The `pause_subscription` tool stops recurring cycles immediately when you tell Claude Desktop to pause an account. You can handle retention conversations in chat and execute the system change in one go. If a customer insists on leaving, your agent runs `cancel_subscription` to process the churn flags. This stops the billing cycle without forcing you to click through five dashboard menus.

Spin up checkouts and plan details on the fly

The `generate_hosted_checkout` tool creates payment links on demand during your Claude Desktop support sessions. You can generate a checkout UI for a customer without leaving your workspace. To make sure you pitch the right plan, `list_catalog_items` verifies your product mapping. Your agent then uses the MCP Server to pull `get_subscription_details` to calculate exact plan math before sending the link.
