Perplexity

Check existing billing records with the MCP Server

Need to know what invoices are out there? Use `list_invoices` to pull a list of all organization invoices. You get back structured data showing which invoices exist, so you can verify payment status or find a specific document ID. This is perfect for PMs who need live numbers without opening the Zoho portal. You'll see every invoice record the system holds, making it simple to check billing history right inside your chat.

Find customer details using Claude Desktop

Start with `list_invoice_contacts` when you need customer info. This tool pulls a list of every contact associated with the organization, letting you confirm names and addresses. It's way faster than digging through multiple spreadsheets. If your project needs to send an invoice to a specific person, knowing their correct contact ID first saves time. You get clean, actionable lists of all customers ready for use in other parts of your workflow.

Create new billing documents using the MCP Server

Need to generate an invoice? Just call `create_new_invoice` and pass in the JSON body with all the necessary details. This immediately executes the process, creating a brand-new record within Zoho Invoice. This is huge for developers who write scripts that need to trigger billing actions on demand. You don't have to manually log into the web portal; your agent just handles it for you.
