About

Recharge ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 29 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Recharge runs recurring billing for ecommerce stores — mostly Shopify, also BigCommerce and custom integrations — turning a one-time product into a subscription with its own billing schedule, retry logic and customer self-service.

This app covers the day-to-day operations a workflow needs around a subscription’s lifecycle: creating and updating customers and their shipping addresses, creating subscriptions and one-time purchases, rescheduling or cancelling a subscription’s next charge, and skipping, unskipping or refunding an individual charge. Reads cover customers, addresses, subscriptions, charges, orders, the product catalog, discounts, payment methods and webhooks.

Health checks track Recharge’s own status page (scoped to its API component specifically, not the Shopify/BigCommerce integrations the same page also tracks) alongside the store’s live rate-limit headroom.

Build with Recharge

Three routes to the same 29 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Recharge'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.

Get Address

address-get

Retrieve one shipping address by its Recharge address id.

List Addresses

address-list

Return addresses from the store, optionally filtered to one customer.

Update Address

address-update

Modify an existing address's fields. Only the fields provided are changed.

Get Charge

charge-get

Retrieve one charge by its Recharge charge id. A processed charge older than 90 days may no longer be retrievable — see List Charges for details.

List Charges

charge-list

Return a list of charges. Processed charges older than 90 days are not returned by Recharge; see the description for details.

Refund Charge

charge-refund

Refund a charge, fully or partially.

Skip Charge

charge-skip

Skip an upcoming charge.

Unskip Charge

charge-unskip

Reverse a previously-skipped charge, scheduling it again.

Create Customer

customer-create

Create a customer in Recharge. Does not create the customer on any other connected platform.

Get Customer

customer-get

Retrieve one customer by its Recharge customer id.

List Customers

customer-list

Return a list of customers in your Recharge store.

Update Customer

customer-update

Modify an existing customer's profile fields. Only the fields provided are changed.

List Discounts

discount-list

Return a list of discounts in your Recharge store.

Create Onetime

onetime-create

Create a new one-time purchase on a customer's address.

List Onetimes

onetime-list

Return a list of one-time purchases.

Get Order

order-get

Retrieve one order by its Recharge order id.

List Orders

order-list

Return a list of orders.

List Payment Methods

payment-method-list

Return a list of payment methods in the store, or for one customer.

List Products

product-list

List products from the store's product catalog.

Activate Subscription

subscription-activate

Reactivate a cancelled subscription.

Cancel Subscription

subscription-cancel

Cancel an active subscription.

Create Subscription

subscription-create

Create a new subscription for a customer's address.

Get Subscription

subscription-get

Retrieve one subscription by its Recharge subscription id.

List Subscriptions

subscription-list

Return a list of subscriptions in your Recharge store.

Set Subscription Next Charge Date

subscription-set-next-charge-date

Change the date a subscription's next charge is scheduled to run.

Get Token Information

token-information-get

Return the connected API token's own name, scopes, and (for an OAuth-app token) the client that generated it.

Create Webhook

webhook-create

Register a webhook endpoint for a Recharge event.

Delete Webhook

webhook-delete

Delete a registered webhook.

List Webhooks

webhook-list

List webhooks owned by this connection's token. A private (merchant) token sees every webhook on the store; an integration token sees only its own.

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 Recharge's real ids.

+24 more actions available

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 Recharge, 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 Recharge. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "address-get",
  payload: {
    addressId: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action address-get --payload '{"addressId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Recharge — without giving it Recharge's credentials. 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.recharge#address-get",
    "input": {
      "addressId": "<addressId>"
    }
  }
}

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 Recharge connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

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.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

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.

A durable workflow in one call

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.

Health-aware discovery

Recharge'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. Recharge itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Recharge declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Recharge platform status

The 'Recharge API' component from status.getrecharge.com. The page also tracks Shopify and BigCommerce components Recharge integrates with — those are surfaced for context but never drive this check's own verdict.

quota

Rate-limit headroom

Requests used against the store's per-token rate-limit budget this window, read from the undocumented but live x-recharge-limit response header on GET /token_information.
