Manage Chargify subscriptions in Claude Desktop

You can now handle billing pauses and resume revenue streams without leaving your chat window. Use `hold_subscription` and `resume_subscription` to manipulate account states instantly. This MCP server gives you direct control over churn flags. You'll use `cancel_subscription` to stop recurring billing cycles the moment a client requests a termination.

Pull customer data into Claude Desktop

Query your entire user base by hitting `list_customers` to find specific email strings. You can then feed that data into `get_customer_details` to verify exact account references. Getting this granular detail helps you see exactly who is hitting their plan limits. It removes the need to log into the dashboard just to check a renewal date.

Update plans using Claude Desktop

Adjust service tiers on the fly by calling `update_subscription_product` with the necessary identifiers. It lets you switch plans for any user once you've confirmed their status with `get_subscription_details`. Finding the right plan handle is straightforward when you use `list_catalog_products`. You'll see the exact product mapping required to shift a user's billing structure.
