Recharge MCP. Manage every step of your recurring revenue lifecycle.

Q: How do I check a customer's current credit balance using Recharge MCP?

You use getcustomercreditsummary. This tool calculates and returns the exact monetary balance available on that customer's account, so you know if they can afford a new service.

Q: What is the best way to update an address for multiple users?

You should first use listcustomers to get all IDs, then run updatecustomer or changesubscriptionaddress in a loop. This ensures every relevant record gets updated consistently.

Q: Can I pause a subscription using Recharge MCP?

You can manage this by calling skipcharge. If you want to stop it permanently, use the cancelsubscription tool instead. The choice depends on whether you plan to reactivate later.

Q: How do I manually process a payment that failed?

Use processcharge. This function allows your agent to force-run a charge that was queued up but couldn't process automatically. Always verify the original transaction details first using getcharge.

Q: I need to delete an old customer record; is it safe?

You can use deletecustomer, but be careful because this permanently removes all child resources associated with that account. Always confirm the ID before running any deletion command.

Recharge manages the entire lifecycle of subscription billing directly through your AI agent. You can create customers, update addresses, manage plans, process charges, and adjust subscriptions—all without leaving your chat window. It lets you handle recurring revenue tasks that used to require jumping between a CRM, a payment processor, and an internal dashboard.

The Billing Data Nightmare

Right now, managing a single client's account means jumping between three different tabs. You check the CRM for their name and email; you switch to the billing platform to see if they have credit left or what their next charge date is; then you open the shipping portal just to confirm the address hasn't changed since last week.

It’s a manual relay race of copy-pasting IDs, navigating permission walls, and praying you don't miss an update. The process is slow, prone to human error, and takes up valuable time that could be spent talking to customers.

Recharge MCP: Full Billing Control

With this MCP, those manual steps vanish. When a customer calls, you ask your agent to `get_customer` data and simultaneously run `get_customer_delivery_schedule`. You don't switch tabs; the AI gives you all three pieces of information back in one response.

You control the entire lifecycle—from creating the initial checkout via `create_checkout` to updating the payment method with `update_payment_method`, and finally processing the charge. It's a single, fluid conversation that executes complex backend logic.

What Recharge MCP does for your AI

Think about the mess of managing recurring payments. You're constantly juggling customer records, tracking delivery schedules, making sure addresses are current, or adjusting charges for specific issues. This MCP lets your AI agent handle those operational headaches through simple conversation.

Need to update a billing address or cancel a subscription because a client moved? Just ask. It pulls the necessary data and executes the change. You can list all customers, check credit balances, and even manually process queued charges if needed. For operations teams that deal with high volumes of recurring revenue, this is huge.

Because it's hosted on Vinkius, you connect once from your preferred AI client, and suddenly, complex billing tasks become natural conversations.

This tool gives your agent the power to create new users, generate checkouts, manage payment methods, or even delay a prepaid order—all while maintaining accurate records. It’s about giving your team immediate operational control over every aspect of their subscription base.

Benefits of connecting Recharge MCP

Stop manually tracking delivery dates. You can use get_customer_delivery_schedule to instantly see when a customer expects their next shipment, helping support agents resolve issues before they escalate.

Handle billing adjustments on the fly. If a client needs a pause or a discount, you don't need to open another tab; your agent can execute skip_charge or apply_charge_discount immediately via conversation.

Keep customer data clean and accurate. Use merge_addresses when dealing with old records that have duplicate addresses, ensuring future billing cycles use the correct location.

Accelerate onboarding for new users. Your agent can now fully handle the setup process by running create_customer, then immediately following up with create_payment_method and finally create_subscription in a single flow.

Gain full control over your catalog. Need to launch a sale? Instead of manually updating every product, you can run bulk_manage_product_plans to adjust pricing across dozens of items simultaneously.

Recharge MCP use cases

01 01

A customer calls about an incorrect charge.

The support agent doesn't know if the charge was valid. They ask their agent to get_charge details and then use get_customer_credit_summary. If the charge was wrong, they can immediately run refund_charge and explain the exact numbers to the client.

02 02

The company is expanding to a new region.

The operations lead needs to update 50 old customer records with new tax addresses. They use list_customers to pull the IDs, then call update_customer and change_subscription_address iteratively until all records are current.

03 03

A key product plan is expiring or needs a price change.

Instead of updating documents and hoping people read them, the billing manager uses their agent to run update_plan for the affected products. This ensures all future subscription setups use the correct, current pricing.

04 04

A large batch of prepaid orders needs to be processed.

The fulfillment team doesn't want 50 separate API calls. They use create_async_batch and then later trigger process_async_batch, letting the system handle all the heavy lifting in the background.

Recharge MCP tradeoffs

What to watch out for, and the recommended way to handle each one.

Trying to fix billing errors manually.

Avoid

The agent sees a customer's address is wrong and tries to copy-paste it into an internal spreadsheet, hoping to remember which fields need updating for the subscription record later.

Instead

Use update_address first to ensure the data exists in your system. Then call update_customer or change_subscription_address to link that correct address to the billing profile.

Ignoring necessary cleanup steps.

Avoid

The team deletes a customer record without first checking if there are active subscriptions linked to them, causing the deletion to fail mid-process and leaving data in an inconsistent state.

Instead

Always verify dependencies. Use get_customer or list_subscriptions before attempting massive changes like calling delete_customer. It ensures you know what you're breaking.

Assuming a discount is automatically applied.

Avoid

The sales rep verbally promises a 20% off deal and tells the agent to 'apply it,' but nothing happens because they didn't specify when or where the discount should hit.

Instead

Be specific. If you want to apply a one-time coupon, call apply_charge_discount when processing the charge. If it’s permanent, use update_plan.

When to use Recharge MCP

Use this MCP if your core job revolves around managing customer billing cycles, recurring revenue, and physical logistics data. You need to perform CRUD operations on customers, subscriptions, addresses, and payments; think of it as having a full-stack Billing Admin GUI inside your chat window.

Don't use this if you only need simple read-only reporting (e.g., 'Just give me the list of all customer names'). For that, simply listing records is enough. Don't use it if your process involves complex inventory forecasting or deep financial accounting analysis; those require specialized BI tools. If you just need to know if a charge happened, list_charges works. But if you need to change the state of billing—like updating the next charge date with set_subscription_next_charge_date or refunding money via refund_charge—you need this full capability set.
