Manage Team Applications via MCP Server

The whole team can access the tools by committing the configuration. Use `list_applications` to see every service connected across the entire codebase. This ensures everyone works off the same truth regarding client accounts. When a developer needs to create a new app, they just call `create_application`, and the result is available for immediate code use.

Track Subscription Data Across Teams

Any developer can pull subscription status by calling `list_subscriptions`. This lets you build shared components that display real-time billing data without needing to consult a database. If you need the specifics on one account, `get_subscription` delivers precise payment and cycle details straight into the file.

Audit Webhook Configurations

For team maintenance, use `list_webhooks`. This tool lets you audit every single webhook endpoint that handles e-commerce events. It's crucial for debugging payment failures across the organization. Developers can also check status using `get_verification_status` to confirm setup compliance.
