How to Use the Recharge MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure the Recharge MCP Server in Windsurf?

You add the server configuration directly to your local mcpconfig.json file. Once saved, Cascade automatically discovers the tools and can start querying your subscriber data.

Q: Does Windsurf support bulk updates for Recharge subscriptions?

Cascade can chain multiple updatesubscription calls in a single session. You give it a list of IDs, and it processes them sequentially while respecting API rate limits using this MCP Server.

Q: What happens if a tool call fails during an active run?

The agent reads the error message returned by the API. If getsubscriptiondetails fails due to a bad ID, Cascade stops and asks you for the correct information.

Let Cascade control your Recharge subscription operations, pulling customer data and modifying active orders autonomously in Windsurf.

Perplexity

Run autonomous subscriber updates inside Windsurf

Cascade handles subscription modifications without making you prompt every single step. If a customer wants to change their shipping address, the agent uses `list_shipping_addresses` to find the correct record, grabs the details, and updates the profile instantly. You don't have to copy-paste IDs between screens. When a subscriber requests a change to their delivery frequency, Windsurf runs `update_subscription` directly. It checks the active items first with `list_subscriptions` to ensure it doesn't touch the wrong order. This MCP Server gives your workspace immediate access to your live merchant database.

Handle cancellations with automated retention logic

Customers cancel, but you can build guardrails before Cascade executes the final command. The agent uses `cancel_subscription` only after checking customer history. It pulls customer profiles with `get_customer` to see if they are eligible for a discount or a pause instead of a hard exit. By analyzing past charges via `list_billing_charges`, the agent determines lifetime value on the fly. It can offer targeted alternatives to cancellation before running the final API call. This keeps your churn rate down without requiring manual support triage.

Audit order history and active products

Troubleshooting billing issues takes seconds when your IDE can read the entire transaction log. Cascade calls `list_subscription_orders` to track down failed payments or skipped weeks. It matches these orders against live inventory by querying `list_products` to see if an item went out of stock. If a customer claims they were double-billed, the agent runs `get_order` to verify the exact charge. You get a clear, chronological breakdown of what happened right in your chat panel. No more digging through the Recharge admin dashboard to find a single transaction ID.
