Full ChargeDesk control in Claude Desktop

Handle your billing operations without leaving your chat window. Use `list_chargedesk_charges` and `get_charge_details` to pull transaction records into your conversation. This MCP server connects your payment data to your Claude Desktop workspace. You can execute `refund_chargedesk_payment` directly when a customer issue arises.

Customer and subscription oversight

Keep track of your user base by running `list_chargedesk_customers` to find specific account details. It makes looking up subscription statuses via `list_chargedesk_subscriptions` trivial. Your AI agent parses this data to answer questions about billing cycles. You stop digging through dashboard tabs once these tools are active.

Monitor your payment infrastructure

Check your connected platforms by invoking `list_connected_gateways` to see what is currently active. You can also audit your notification settings with `list_chargedesk_webhooks`. Claude Desktop uses these tools to show you the state of your payment stack. It keeps your operations visible and organized.
