Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

  • CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
  • Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
  • Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

What is the Billsby MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Billsby MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Billsby account. It provides structured and secure access to your customers, subscriptions, products, plans, and billing details, so your agent can create and update customers, review subscriptions, browse products and plans, check shipping addresses, and monitor billing information on your behalf.

  • Customer creation and updates: Have your agent create customers without subscriptions or payment cards, then update their contact and billing address details when needed.
  • Customer account lookup: Let the agent retrieve a customer’s billing, contact, payment status, and account details, or find customers by a partial name.
  • Subscription review: Direct your agent to list subscriptions and review their billing schedules, status, customer, product, plan, pricing, trial, and revenue details.
  • Product and plan discovery: Instruct your agent to browse products by name or visibility and review the plans and billing cycles available for each product.
  • Subscription shipping details: Have your agent retrieve the shipping address associated with a subscription when you need to confirm delivery information.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Billsby MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Billsby tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Billsby and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Billsby tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Billsby scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Billsby data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
