How to Connect Claude to Your Billing Data with Lago's MCP Server

Lago’s MCP server connects Claude and other MCP-compatible AI clients to live billing data through natural-language requests, enabling users to inspect invoices, customers, payments, usage, and analytics without navigating dashboards or writing queries. Built in Rust on the open Model Context Protocol standard, it is primarily read-only, supporting data lookups, invoice simulations, usage analysis, overdue-invoice reporting, and analytics such as monthly recurring revenue, while its only permitted write action is retrying a failed payment. The open-source server can be run through Docker with a Lago API key and optionally connected to Lago’s analytics agent service, and it works with both self-hosted Lago and Lago Cloud, with self-hosting allowing organizations to keep billing data on their own infrastructure. Compared with other billing MCP offerings, Zoho provides broader write capabilities and Chargebee offers several specialized servers, while Lago emphasizes self-hostable access and narrowly limited actions.
