What is the Metronome MCP Server?
Connect your Metronome account to any AI agent to streamline your usage-based billing and revenue operations through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Usage Ingestion & Querying — Send usage events and retrieve aggregated usage data across customers and metrics using
ingest_eventsandget_usage. - Customer Management — Create, list, and archive customers, or manage their billing configurations via
list_customersandcreate_customer. - Billing & Invoicing — Fetch, void, or regenerate invoices and track net balances with
list_invoicesandget_net_balance. - Contract Lifecycle — Create and edit contracts, manage rate cards, and track commits using
create_contractandlist_contracts. - Alerts & Monitoring — Set up notifications, alerts, and access audit logs for billing transparency.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Metronome API Token
- Start managing your billing operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Finance Teams — reconcile usage data and manage invoices without manual exports.
- Product Managers — analyze feature usage and billing impact in real-time.
- Engineering Teams — verify event ingestion and monitor billing services directly from the terminal.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Metronome data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 31 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I check the current net balance for a specific customer?
Yes! Use the get_net_balance tool with the specific customer_id to retrieve the real-time balance information.
How do I see usage broken down by specific dimensions?
You can use the get_usage_groups tool. It allows you to retrieve granular usage data for a specific customer and metric, broken down by your custom grouping dimensions.
Is it possible to list all invoices for a client to check their payment history?
Absolutely. Use the list_invoices tool and provide the customer_id to see a paginated list of all invoices associated with that account.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
