How to Use the Lago MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline create a new subscription in Lago for me?

Yes. Cline can both execute the createsubscription command directly or write the application code that performs the subscription action. It's both a doer and a writer.

Q: How do I give a customer prepaid credits?

Ask Cline to create a wallet for them. It will use the createwallet tool to set up a new wallet associated with their customer record in Lago, which you can then top up.

Tell Cline to set up your Lago billing logic. It will write the code, create the plans, and stage the commit, all from one prompt.

Build and Test Billing Logic End-to-End

This MCP Server turns Cline into a billing specialist. Give it a task like, "Build a customer onboarding flow for our API." Cline uses the `upsert_customer` and `create_subscription` tools to understand the Lago API, then writes the actual TypeScript or Python code that implements the flow in your project. Cline doesn't just generate snippets; it delivers complete, working code. It creates the new files, writes unit tests for your Lago integration, and stages the changes for your review. It's a full-cycle development partner for your billing system.

Manage Plans and Metrics Directly in VS Code

Structure your entire Lago product catalog without leaving your editor. Ask Cline, "Define a new 'Pro Tier' plan that charges per seat." It will invoke the `create_billable_metric` tool, then `create_plan`, showing you the live API responses from Lago. This makes billing setup a core part of your development process. Cline can use the responses from Lago to scaffold configuration files or update your application's constants. You're not just talking to an assistant; you're coding your billing logic with a partner that has live API access.

Instrument Code and Debug Billing Issues

Get your application reporting usage data fast. Tell Cline, "Write a function that reports API usage to Lago." It will generate the code using the `send_event` tool, ready for you to integrate into your controllers or middleware. When you need to debug, just ask Cline a question in plain English. "Why is customer 45's latest invoice empty?" Cline can use `get_customer` and `list_invoices` to pull the data from Lago and help you trace the issue, all within VS Code. This MCP connection makes it possible.
