Check Customer and Payment Status in Code

Need to check if a customer is active before writing payment logic? Call `list_contacts` for contact names, IDs, emails, outstanding balances, and unused credits. You can use this data directly in your code. If you need one person's full record, run `get_contact`. This returns all the details needed to write accurate API calls within your coding flow.

Automate Invoice Drafting and Tracking

When writing billing logic, use `create_invoice` to generate a draft invoice. You provide the customer ID and necessary line items (name/rate), and Cursor gets real data back for your function. The tool `list_estimates` lets you check quote status—like 'accepted' or 'declined'—so your code handles different business states correctly.

Audit All Financial Records with Real Data

To build a financial report, use `list_invoices`. This function returns invoice numbers, amounts, dates, and customer info when filtered by status. The data is live. For cash flow tracking, calling `list_payments` provides actual payment records, which you can then reference in your codebase.
