Sync billing plans with Claude Desktop

Define your pricing logic by calling `create_plan` and `create_billable_metric` straight from your chat. You decide the parameters, and the server handles the backend configuration. Stop switching tabs to update your revenue model. Just tell your agent what you need, and it commits the changes to your billing environment immediately.

Real-time customer management in Claude Desktop

Use `upsert_customer` to push updates to your user database whenever account details change. You can pull existing records with `get_customer` to verify statuses before applying changes. Keep your billing data accurate by letting the agent handle the sync. It treats the API like a local database, ensuring your records stay clean.

Automate event ingestion through Claude Desktop

Send usage data to your metering engine using `send_event` or `batch_events` during your dev sessions. This lets you test your billing triggers while you iterate on your product features. Forget manual API scripts for checking usage. Just ask the agent to fire off a test batch, and you’ll see the impact on your metrics instantly.
