Chargebee MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized mechanism that connects large language models (LLMs) to external systems through structured, context-aware communication.

The Chargebee MCP Agent Server extends this protocol with streamable HTTP connections, enabling real-time interaction between Chargebee Agents and clients such as AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, or general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, along with other compatible IDEs and orchestration systems.

This version is fully hosted, agent-based, and designed for low-latency streaming over secure HTTP endpoints.

Architecture and Components

1. Agent-based Design

Each Chargebee Agent functions as a dedicated MCP endpoint exposing tools and skills specific to a particular use case (e.g., data lookup, onboarding, or documentation lookup).

Every agent is deployed at its own endpoint:

US Datacenter - https://<your-site-id>.mcp.chargebee.com/<agent-name>

EU Datacenter - https://<your-site-id>.mcp.eu.chargebee.com/<agent-name>

AU Datacenter - https://<your-site-id>.mcp.au.chargebee.com/<agent-name>

Make sure to use the correct domain based on the region where your Chargebee site is hosted.

2. Streamable HTTP Transport

The Chargebee MCP Agent Server exclusively supports Streamable HTTP transport, ensuring standardized and real-time communication through modern, event-driven semantics compatible with MCP clients. The minimum supported protocol version is 2025-06-18.

3. Authentication

All agent servers (except the public Knowledge Base Agent) require authentication via an API key:

Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

API keys are generated from the Agent Configuration section in your Chargebee dashboard.

OAuth 2.1–based authentication support will be added soon.

Supported Agents

Data Lookup AgentRetrieves customer, subscription, invoice, and credit note information from your Chargebee site.Requires API key

Each agent exposes its own tools and skills for MCP clients.
