Perplexity

Script Your Entire Customer Lifecycle

This MCP Server connects Lago to your terminal. Now you can script customer management. A simple shell script can pipe a new user's ID to `claude mcp call lago-mcp upsert_customer` and then immediately use `create_subscription` to assign their billing plan. It’s perfect for headless automation. Trigger a script from a webhook when a new user signs up, and Claude Code will provision their entire billing profile in Lago. No manual steps, no web UI, just pure command-line execution.

Manage Billing From Your CI/CD Pipeline

Define your entire product catalog as code. From your terminal or a GitHub Action, run `claude mcp call lago-mcp create_billable_metric ...` to add a new metered feature. Follow it with `create_plan` to make that feature part of a public pricing plan. By managing your Lago setup with scripts, you can version-control your entire billing configuration in Git. Run your plan creation scripts as part of your deployment process to guarantee that your application and billing logic are always in sync. This is programmatic control over your revenue stack.

Automate Event Ingestion and Reporting

Set up a simple cron job to handle usage reporting. Have a script that aggregates application logs, then pipe the data to `claude mcp call lago-mcp batch_events` to push everything to Lago in one go. This is exactly what a headless MCP tool is for. Reporting is just as easy. Run `claude mcp call lago-mcp list_invoices --json` and pipe the raw JSON output directly into `jq` for filtering or a file for your finance team. It's just data, ready for you to compose with other standard command-line tools.
