Perplexity

Run Metronome event ingestion from Claude Desktop

The Metronome MCP Server lets you stream raw billing events into your pipeline using `ingest_events` directly from your Claude Desktop chat. You don't need to write custom curl scripts or open a terminal to verify that your system is sending data correctly. If a customer claims their usage is off, ask Claude Desktop to check with `search_events` using their transaction ID. You will see the raw payload instantly in your workspace, making debugging live billing issues incredibly fast.

Draft and edit contracts in Claude Desktop

Managing contracts gets a lot simpler when you expose `create_contract` and `edit_contract` directly to your Claude Desktop client. Instead of manually clicking through the billing UI to set up custom pricing, you tell the agent the terms and let it execute the API calls. You can also use `create_rate_card` to define base prices or `add_rate` to adjust specific tiers during sales negotiations. The agent handles the structural JSON formatting, saving you from parsing complex nested parameters manually.

Audit customer balances inside Claude Desktop

Checking financial truth is instant with this server exposing raw snapshots via `get_net_balance` and `list_balances` directly to Claude Desktop. You can quickly check what a specific enterprise account owes without logging into a separate dashboard. If an invoice looks incorrect, tell your agent to run `get_invoice` or even `regenerate_invoice` to fix billing discrepancies on the spot. It brings raw financial truth directly into your daily conversational workspace.
