Windsurf Controls Subscriptions

The `get_subscription_details` tool feeds Windsurf exact MRR and past-due flags directly into your workspace. Cascade reads this context to understand exactly where a customer stands before taking action. When a user requests a billing pause, Cascade chains these insights into the `hold_subscription` tool to clamp the billing cycle. It stops the next invoice without you writing a single API request.

Customer Provisioning

The `create_customer` tool lets this MCP Server bind exact name and email strings to the Maxio B2B engine. You define the target user profile in plain text, and Cascade handles the JSON payload generation. After creation, it immediately fires `get_customer_details` to verify the SaaS consumer references exist. This multi-step verification happens in the background while you focus on the core codebase.

Automated Plan Upgrades

Using the `list_catalog_products` tool, the agent grabs valid product handles required for a plan switch. It checks the current state via `list_subscriptions` to ensure the account is active. Once the handles match, it executes `update_subscription_product` to migrate the user to the new tier. If something fails, it can even trigger `cancel_subscription` to vaporize explicit validations and extract churn flags.

Common questions about Chargify MCP in Windsurf

Open the Settings menu and navigate to Cascade. Click the MCP Servers UI to add your Vinkius endpoint token, or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json directly. Click Refresh in the MCP panel to load the tools.

Yes. Cascade reads the past-due flags from the billing cycle and executes a hold command. It chains these actions autonomously without asking for permission at every step.

It maps the exact user email arrays to find the account. Then it pulls the catalog products and pushes the upgrade through the API.

You tell Cascade to cancel the specific user's account. It runs the cancellation tool and extracts the churn flags so you can log the event in your database.

Vinkius runs the integration in an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. The server only processes specific MRR numbers, plan handles, and customer emails during the active session. Nothing persists after the connection drops.
