Read subscriptions, subscribers and orders; manage renewals, billing skips and payment links. For subscription teams with authorized Recurpay custom-app access. 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": {
"recurpay": {
"url": "https://recurpay.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

}
}
}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.

recurpay_list_subscriptions recurpay_get_subscription
Find a subscriber and read the orders generated by subscriptions.
recurpay_list_subscribers recurpay_list_orders
Skip the next billing and delivery cycle for the selected subscription.

The login page asks for your Recurpay store and Custom app access token.
Use a customer-created custom app for this one store: Settings → Integrations → Develop apps → Create new app (guide). This per-store route needs no vendor approval; it is not a Recurpay public app. Grant only needed read scopes; write-subscriptions/write-customers enable changes. The token is encrypted. Requested subscriber, subscription and order records reach your chosen AI client/LLM provider. Revoke the custom app/token in Recurpay to stop access; disconnect UsefulAPI to stop this connection. Immediate renewal can charge a saved payment method; payment-link creation notifies the subscriber. Both require explicit confirmation. No request is automatically replayed: check Recurpay after an uncertain write. Billing follows the store; token rotation normally retains it. Customer API access and vendor charges remain separate.
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 Recurpay store and Custom app access token. 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 Recurpay connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
recurpay_get_access_scopes | read | Get the token's API scopes Show the API scopes of the custom app whose token is connected (read-/write- subscriptions, customers, orders, plans, payments, webhooks). Use it when a tool answers 403. |
recurpay_list_subscriptions | read | List subscriptions List the store's subscriptions (status active/paused/halted/cancelled/draft, subscriber, plan policies, line items, next_billing_at). Filter by status, plan, subscriber email and dates. Use status=halted to find subscriptions whose renewal payment failed. Page with next_page. |
recurpay_get_subscription | read | Get a subscription Get one subscription with its subscriber, addresses, line items, discount codes, billing/delivery policy, payment method and billing dates. |
recurpay_list_subscribers | read | List subscribers List the store's subscribers (customers with at least one subscription): name, email, phone, addresses, total spent. Filter by name, email and dates. Page with next_page. |
recurpay_get_subscriber | read | Get a subscriber Get one subscriber (customer) with contact data, addresses and total spent. |
recurpay_list_orders | read | List orders List the orders generated by subscriptions (name, subscriber, status, totals). Filter by order name, subscriber email, subscription and dates. Page with next_page. |
recurpay_get_order | read | Get an order Get one order with its subscriber and line items. |
recurpay_list_order_subscriptions | read | List an order's subscriptions List the subscriptions that belong to one order. |
recurpay_list_plans | read | List plans List the subscription plans (selling plan groups) with their delivery/billing policies and discounts. Filter by plan title, product title/handle and dates. Page with next_page. |
recurpay_get_plan | read | Get a plan Get one plan with its selling plans (delivery policy, billing policy, anchors, discounts). |
recurpay_list_plan_products | read | List a plan's products List the products attached to one plan, with the variants excluded from it. |
recurpay_list_webhooks | read | List webhooks List the webhook subscriptions of the store (topic, address, status). Needs the read-webhooks scope. |
recurpay_cancel_customer_subscription | write | Cancel a customer's subscription WRITE: cancel one subscriber's subscription in Recurpay (status becomes cancelled; billing and deliveries stop). This is the merchant's action on a customer's subscription, not the cancellation of this MCP server's own plan. Only the merchant can re-activate it. Ask the user to confirm the subscription first. |
recurpay_skip_next_billing | write | Skip the next billing WRITE: skip the subscription's next billing/delivery cycle (the next order is not generated). Ask the user to confirm the subscription first. |
recurpay_renew_subscription | write | Renew a subscription now WRITE, MAY CHARGE THE CUSTOMER: renew the subscription now. Recurpay runs the billing cycle immediately, which can charge the subscriber's saved payment method and create an order. Use it e.g. to retry a halted subscription. Only call it when the user explicitly asks for it and set confirm=true. Repeated calls may repeat the charge or notification. |
recurpay_send_payment_link | write | Send a payment link to the subscriber WRITE, CONTACTS THE CUSTOMER: generate a payment link for the subscription (renewal payment or payment-method update); Recurpay notifies the subscriber with it. Use it for halted subscriptions. Only call it when the user explicitly asks for it and set confirm=true. Repeated calls may repeat the charge or notification. |
recurpay_update_subscriber | write | Update a subscriber WRITE: change a subscriber's contact data (email, first name, last name, phone). Only the fields you pass are sent. Ask the user to confirm the new values. |
recurpay_update_subscription_coupon | write | Add or remove a subscription coupon WRITE: add or remove a discount code (coupon) on one subscription; it changes what the subscriber pays on the next billings. Ask the user to confirm. |
recurpay_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. | |
recurpay_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Recurpay 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. | |
recurpay_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Recurpay (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+, $39/month or $390/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. | |
recurpay_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Recurpay 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 recurpay_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Freeper Recurpay store | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper Recurpay store | $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 Recurpay server only. Subscribe with recurpay_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with recurpay_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running recurpay_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 Recurpay. The server calls the Recurpay API with your own Recurpay 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 Recurpay store and Custom app access token. See Before you connect for where to find them.
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 Recurpay store and Custom app access token. 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 Recurpay 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 Recurpay.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 18 Recurpay 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 Recurpay server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run recurpay_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run recurpay_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run recurpay_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 recurpay_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.
