How to Use the Cheddar MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Cheddar toolset to my Cursor editor?

Add the Cheddar MCP Server to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or global directory. Once saved, enable Agent mode in your chat panel to let the editor access your billing tools.

Q: Can Cursor write code based on my active Cheddar plans?

Absolutely. The agent uses listcheddarplans to pull your live pricing tiers and can write the exact routing or checkout logic your app needs based on those live IDs.

Q: How does Cursor handle Cheddar customer lookups?

Your agent calls listcheddarcustomers to find the correct user ID when you ask it to debug a specific account. It then uses that ID to pull detailed invoice histories directly into your sidebar.

Write billing code in Cursor using live subscription data and customer metrics pulled directly from Cheddar.

Generate Real Billing Code in Cursor

Stop writing mock data for your billing integration tests. Let your Cursor agent run `get_cheddar_product_info` to grab your actual pricing structure and write functional backend code around it. This MCP Server ensures the editor injects exact plan IDs and metadata right into your codebase. You save hours of debugging because your code works with your live product configuration from the very first run.

Debug Customer Invoices in the Editor

When a test user reports a billing bug, ask Cursor to check their account. The agent calls `get_cheddar_customer_details` and `list_cheddar_invoices` to show you their exact payment history alongside your billing logic. Having this data side-by-side with your code makes finding edge cases incredibly fast. You can spot mismatched plan codes or failed transactions without leaving your active workspace.

Test Usage Charges with Live Sandbox Data

Verify your metering logic by running the `add_cheddar_charge` tool directly through the Cursor chat. You can watch how your system handles a new charge and immediately query `list_cheddar_transactions` to verify the entry. This MCP setup creates a tight feedback loop that keeps you focused on writing code. Avoid switching to a web browser or running curl commands just to check if your API calls actually worked.
