Audit Recurly subscriptions in Claude Desktop

The `list_subscriptions` tool works with your MCP client to pull active Recurly customer plans directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. You get the exact state of any subscription without opening the Recurly admin console on your desktop. Your Claude Desktop agent uses this live connection to find billing discrepancies in Recurly. Instead of running manual exports, you just ask Claude to highlight Recurly accounts that need attention.

Inspect Recurly invoices in Claude Desktop

The `get_invoice` tool retrieves specific Recurly billing documents to verify payments inside Claude Desktop. When a customer disputes a charge, you can pull up the exact Recurly line items in your chat. This MCP server runs locally to let Claude Desktop read raw Recurly transaction logs. Claude analyzes the decline codes so you don't have to log into the Recurly dashboard.

Manage Recurly customer accounts in Claude Desktop

The `create_billing_account` tool registers new Recurly customers directly through your Claude Desktop chat. You can update details or look up existing profiles using `get_account_details` in the desktop app. Claude Desktop also uses `list_coupons` to look up active Recurly promotions. You can instantly check if a coupon is valid before applying it to a Recurly account.
