Run Zuora APIs Locally with MCP Server

The `zuora-mcp` server lets you call core Zuora functions—like `get_account` or listing products with `list_products`—right from your local machine. You don't need to worry about network latency or authentication setup when testing. This capability is perfect for developers who need immediate, reliable data access without leaving the Claude Desktop environment. Simply call a tool like `get_invoices` and get structured billing data right in the chat output.

Handle Subscriptions and Orders via MCP Server

Need to process a new customer or check existing contracts? You can use `create_account` to set up billing accounts, or call `create_order` when an order is finalized. The agent executes these complex Zuora financial actions for you. It's also easy to preview charges using `preview_subscription`. Just provide the parameters, and your AI client handles calling the right endpoints to give you a full picture of what the customer will pay.

Update Core Zuora Data in Context

Sometimes an account needs fixing. The `update_account` tool lets your agent modify specific account details directly through the MCP Server connection. This is critical for maintaining data integrity when a customer changes their address or billing information. Plus, you can check what's currently active with `list_subscriptions`. It quickly pulls all current subscriptions associated with an account ID so you know exactly which products are running.
