Can I preview how much a customer will be charged before updating their subscription?

Yes. The `preview_subscription` tool simulates a run of the billing engine for a specific subscription ID. Your AI agent will return the projected charges and billing dates without committing any actual changes to the account.

How do I see the invoice history for a specific billing account?

You can use the `get_invoices` tool. Provide the unique Zuora account ID or number, and your agent will retrieve a list of all invoices generated for that customer, helping you audit their billing history.

Is it possible to update a customer's billing contact info via chat?

Absolutely. Using the `update_account` tool, you can provide a JSON payload with updated fields (e.g., billing email or address) for a specific account ID, and your agent will apply the changes in Zuora instantly.

Zuora + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zuora MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system — it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
