Tips for agent builders
- Read https://apidocs.chargebee.com/llms.txt and append .md to any API docs URL for Markdown.
- Use the OpenAPI spec at github.com/chargebee/openapi (spec/chargebee_api_v2_pc_v2_spec.json) for Product Catalog 2.0 sites.
- Once a person has a site, the MCP servers sit at https://<site>.mcp.chargebee.com/<server> and take an API key as a Bearer token.

Questions people ask about Chargebee
- Can an AI agent sign up for Chargebee on its own?
- No. Sign-up: blocked. A bot check from Google reCAPTCHA stopped our agent there. The form sends an invisible reCAPTCHA v3 token and email-validation fields; the page does not say which one decided. No visible challenge.
- Does Chargebee have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it?
- Yes. Chargebee has an official MCP server. A new agent can't get in on its own: in the drive of 28 Oct 2026, our agent stopped at sign up (it was blocked).
