Manage Chargebee customers, subscriptions, invoices, payments and the product catalog via the Chargebee API v2 (Product Catalog 2.0).
Chargebee ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 17 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.chargebeeChargebee runs subscription billing for a lot of SaaS and recurring-revenue businesses, and this app lets a workflow act directly on that billing data. Create and look up customers, list and inspect subscriptions, and drive the full subscription lifecycle — cancel, pause and resume — without leaving your workflow.
On the money side, list invoices, pull up a specific one, and collect payment against it. Browse the product catalog (items and item prices) to know what you’re billing for, check a customer’s saved payment sources, and pull the raw event stream for anything Chargebee recorded on an account.
This app targets accounts on Chargebee’s Product Catalog 2.0 — the newer of Chargebee’s two mutually exclusive catalog models. Customer, invoice and payment actions work regardless, but subscription and catalog actions expect a Product Catalog 2.0 site.
Three routes to the same 17 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Chargebee's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
cancel-subscription Cancel a subscription immediately, at term end or on a specific date, with control over prorated credits, unbilled charges and outstanding receivables.
collect-payment Attempt to collect payment against a specific invoice, in full or for a partial amount, optionally charging a named payment source.
create-customer Create a customer, optionally with a billing address and metadata. Payment details are deliberately not accepted here — use Chargebee's payment source APIs for those.
create-subscription Create a subscription for an existing customer from one or more item prices. Requires a site on Product Catalog 2.0.
get-customer Retrieve a single customer by id, with their primary card if one is on file.
get-invoice Retrieve a single invoice by id, with control over how many of its line items come back.
get-subscription Retrieve a single subscription by id, along with its customer. Reflects the current state, not any scheduled changes.
list-customers List customers one page at a time, optionally filtered by email, name, company or auto-collection setting.
list-events List Chargebee events — the same records webhooks deliver — filtered by type, source, webhook delivery status or when they occurred.
list-invoices List invoices one page at a time, optionally filtered by customer, subscription, status, recurring flag or date range.
list-item-prices List item prices — the priced, per-currency variants of a catalog item, and the source of the item price ids Create Subscription needs. Product Catalog 2.0 only.
list-items List product catalog items (plans, addons and charges), optionally filtered by family, type, status or name. Product Catalog 2.0 only.
list-payment-sources List a customer's stored payment methods and their validity, to find the payment source id to charge.
list-subscriptions List subscriptions one page at a time, optionally filtered by customer, item, item price or status.
pause-subscription Pause a subscription immediately, at term end or on a date, optionally scheduling when it resumes.
resume-subscription Resume a paused subscription immediately or on a date, with control over how charges accrued during the pause and any unpaid invoices are handled.
update-customer Update a customer's contact details, billing preferences or metadata. Only the fields you fill in are sent, so blanks never overwrite stored values.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Chargebee's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Chargebee, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Chargebee. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.chargebee#collect-payment",
"input": {
"invoiceId": "<invoiceId>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Chargebee connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Chargebee's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Chargebee itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Chargebee declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
