Can I record a new usage event for a customer?

Yes! Use the `add_cheddar_charge` tool with the customer code, charge code (tracked item), and quantity. The agent will record the usage in Cheddar immediately.

How do I see the billing history for a specific person?

Use the `get_cheddar_customer_details` tool with the unique customer code. Your agent will fetch the full record, including active plans, status, and associated invoices.

Where do I find my Product Secret and Product Code?

Log in to your Cheddar dashboard and look for 'Product Settings'. You can view and copy your unique Product Code and generate a Secret Key from there.

Cheddar + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cheddar MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Cheddar tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
