Automate Account Setup Chains

When you call `create_customer`, your agent can immediately follow up by running `create_plan` to assign a service level. This sequence of calls lets the AI client build out a full account structure, making it simple to onboard new paying users. Alternatively, if you need to check existing user status, calling `get_customer_by_reference` gives you the details needed before initiating any billing changes like running `update_subscription`. This structured approach makes complex workflows reliable.

Manage Invoicing Workflows

You can automate collections by first calling `list_invoices` to pull a list of overdue accounts. Then, the agent decides which invoices need payment and runs `collect_invoice` for immediate charges. Need to adjust billing? Start with `create_credit_note`, then use `apply_credit_note_to_invoices` to distribute those credits across multiple accounts. It’s a reliable chain that handles the whole financial process.

Product and Service Lifecycle Management

To add new services, your agent can call `create_product` first. After creating it, you might want to build out the pricing structure by running `create_plan`. This lets the system define what's available for sale. When a customer needs something extra, calling `create_addon` builds that feature into their account. You can then manage its status using `mark_addon_active` or `mark_addon_inactive`, giving you granular control over service availability.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Billing Alternative MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Zoho Billing Alternative tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "zoho-billing-alternative-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Zoho Billing Alternative transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
