Read Awtomic subscriptions, customers and billing attempts; pause, skip, reschedule, cancel. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"awtomic": {
"url": "https://awtomic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"awtomic": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://awtomic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your Awtomic API key.
Find it in the Awtomic Subscriptions app in your Shopify admin (app settings, API key). It lets this server read your subscription data and change subscriptions (pause, skip, reschedule, cancel) on your behalf. Your key is used only to call the Awtomic API for you; it is never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Awtomic API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Awtomic connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
awtomic_list_subscriptions | read | List shop subscriptions List the shop's subscription contracts (id, status, next billing date and more), 100 per page by default. Use reverse to read the newest first. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page. GET /subscriptions. |
awtomic_get_subscription | read | Get subscription One subscription contract with its lines (products, quantities, prices). Needs the customer id and the subscription id. GET /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}. |
awtomic_list_customer_subscriptions | read | List a customer's subscriptions List one customer's subscriptions (id, status, next billing date). Set expand_lines to include each subscription's lines; that makes the reply much larger. GET /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions. |
awtomic_list_billing_attempts | read | List billing attempts A subscription's billing attempts: status (SUCCESS or FAILURE), error code and message, amount, currency and dates. Use it to see why a renewal failed. GET /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/billing-attempts. |
awtomic_get_successful_billing_count | read | Get successful billing count How many billing attempts of a subscription succeeded, including those made before a migration from another subscription app. GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/total-successful-billing-count. |
awtomic_get_origin_order | read | Get subscription origin order The Shopify order that started a subscription (id, name, creation date). GET /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/origin-order. |
awtomic_get_origin_order_fulfillments | read | Get origin order fulfillments Fulfillment status and the fulfillment orders (status, fulfill-at date) of a subscription's origin order. GET /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/origin-order/fulfillments. |
awtomic_get_customer | read | Get customer A customer: name, email, phone, orders count, amount spent, customer-since date, Awtomic overrides and the ids of their subscription contracts. GET /customers/{customerId}. |
awtomic_get_customer_addresses | read | Get customer addresses A customer's saved addresses and which one is the default. GET /customers/{customerId}/address. |
awtomic_get_customer_payment_methods | read | Get customer payment methods A customer's payment methods on file: type (card, Shop Pay, PayPal), card brand, last digits, expiry and whether it was revoked. Never the full card number. Use it to spot expired cards before a renewal. GET /customers/{customerId}/payment-methods. |
awtomic_list_selling_plan_groups | read | List selling plan groups The shop's selling plan groups (subscription plans): name, summary, options, position and whether it is a prepaid plan. Use the ids with awtomic_get_selling_plan_group. GET /shops/selling-plan-groups. |
awtomic_get_selling_plan_group | read | Get selling plan group One selling plan group with its selling plans (name, prepaid orders, gift support) and the products it applies to. GET /shops/selling-plan-groups/{sellingPlanGroupId}. |
awtomic_pause_subscription | write | Pause subscription WRITE: pause a subscription so it is not billed or shipped until it is reactivated (awtomic_reactivate_subscription). A subscription in dunning is taken out of dunning. Awtomic runs the shop's own automations for this event, so the customer may get an email or SMS and webhooks may fire. Awtomic pauses it on its side even if Shopify rejects the pause. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/pause. |
awtomic_reactivate_subscription | write | Reactivate subscription WRITE: reactivate a paused or cancelled subscription, so billing resumes. A cancelled prepaid subscription cannot be reactivated. Without next_billing_date Awtomic works it out from the subscription's interval; the customer is charged on that date. Awtomic runs the shop's own automations for this event, so the customer may get an email or SMS and webhooks may fire. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/reactivate. |
awtomic_skip_next_order | write | Skip next order WRITE: skip a subscription's next order. The subscription must be active; Awtomic moves the next billing date by one interval (each call skips one more order, so do not repeat it). The reply has skipEventId: pass it to awtomic_undo_skip to undo. Awtomic runs the shop's own automations for this event, so the customer may get an email or SMS and webhooks may fire. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/skip. |
awtomic_undo_skip | write | Undo skip WRITE: undo a skipped order, restoring the billing date from before the skip. Needs the skipEventId returned by awtomic_skip_next_order; Awtomic refuses (409) when the skip can no longer be undone. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/next-billing-date with eventType UNDO_SKIP. |
awtomic_set_next_billing_date | write | Set next billing date WRITE: change when a subscription is next billed. The date must be later than the end of today. A paused subscription is reactivated by this call, and one in dunning is taken out of dunning. The customer is charged on the new date. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/next-billing-date. |
awtomic_update_frequency | write | Update subscription frequency WRITE: change how often a subscription is billed and delivered, for example every 2 WEEK or every 1 MONTH. Changes every future order of that subscription. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/frequency. |
awtomic_cancel_customer_subscription | write | Cancel a customer's subscription WRITE: cancel one shopper's subscription contract in Awtomic. Billing and shipping stop; a cancelled non-prepaid subscription can be brought back with awtomic_reactivate_subscription. This cancels the shop's customer subscription, not your usefulapi plan. Awtomic runs the shop's own automations for this event, so the customer may get an email or SMS and webhooks may fire. Awtomic cancels it on its side even if Shopify rejects the cancel. Only use it when the user explicitly asks to cancel this subscription, and confirm_cancel must be true. A cancelled prepaid subscription cannot be reactivated. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/cancel. |
awtomic_order_now | write | Charge and order now WRITE: bill the customer's saved payment method and create the subscription's next order immediately, instead of waiting for the billing date. THIS CHARGES THE CUSTOMER. Awtomic refuses (409 ORDER_RECENTLY_PLACED) if the latest billing attempt is pending or succeeded under 10 minutes ago. Set manual_retry only to retry a failed billing attempt. Only use it when the user explicitly asks to place this order now, and confirm_charge must be true. Awtomic runs the shop's own automations for this event, so the customer may get an email or SMS and webhooks may fire. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/order-now. |
awtomic_send_payment_update_email | write | Email customer to update payment method WRITE: make Shopify email the customer a link to update their payment method for this subscription. This SENDS AN EMAIL TO THE CUSTOMER each time it is called. Use it for failed payments or expired cards, only when the user asks, and confirm_send must be true. POST /customers/{customerId}/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/send-customer-payment-email. |
awtomic_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
awtomic_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Awtomic tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
awtomic_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Awtomic (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $19/month or $190/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
awtomic_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Awtomic Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run awtomic_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this Awtomic server only. Subscribe with awtomic_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with awtomic_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running awtomic_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Awtomic. The server calls the Awtomic API with your own Awtomic access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Awtomic API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Awtomic API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Awtomic API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Awtomic.
Yes, if you approve it. 9 of the 21 Awtomic tools can create or change data. The other 12 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Awtomic server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run awtomic_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run awtomic_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run awtomic_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with awtomic_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
