What you can do with Awtomic in Claude and ChatGPT
For Shopify merchants who sell subscriptions with Awtomic.
Find subscriptions with failed billing
The AI lists subscriptions with status and next billing date, and reads each one's billing attempts with SUCCESS or FAILURE, error code and message.
Review a customer's subscriptions and payment details
The AI reads a customer's subscriptions with next billing dates, saved addresses and payment methods on file (type, brand, last digits, expiry).
Check your selling plan groups
The AI lists the selling plan groups with their options and whether they are prepaid, and opens one for its plans and products.
Pause, reactivate or cancel a subscription
The AI pauses a subscription so it is not billed or shipped, reactivates a paused one or a cancelled one that was not prepaid, or cancels a customer's subscription.
Changes dataSkip an order or change the billing date or frequency
The AI skips the next order and can undo the skip, sets the next billing date, or changes how often a subscription is billed.
Changes dataCharge an order now or ask for a new payment method
The AI bills the saved payment method and creates the next order at once, or has Shopify email the customer a link to update their payment method.
Changes dataHow do I connect Awtomic?
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.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"awtomic": {
"url": "https://awtomic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"awtomic": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://awtomic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Awtomic server only. Ask your AI to run awtomic_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with awtomic_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with awtomic_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

- Pause subscription
awtomic_pause_subscriptionWRITE: 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. - Reactivate subscription
awtomic_reactivate_subscriptionWRITE: 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. - Skip next order
awtomic_skip_next_orderWRITE: 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. - Undo skip
awtomic_undo_skipWRITE: 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. - Set next billing date
awtomic_set_next_billing_dateWRITE: 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. - Update subscription frequency
awtomic_update_frequencyWRITE: 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. - Cancel a customer's subscription
awtomic_cancel_customer_subscriptionWRITE: 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. - Charge and order now
awtomic_order_nowWRITE: 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. - Email customer to update payment method
awtomic_send_payment_update_emailWRITE: 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.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
awtomic_usage_statusReport 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. - Request a missing feature
awtomic_request_featureTell 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. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
awtomic_upgradeGet a paid plan for Awtomic (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
awtomic_cancel_subscriptionCancel 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.
FAQ
What can I do with Awtomic in Claude or ChatGPT?
Find subscriptions with failed billing. Review a customer's subscriptions and payment details. Check your selling plan groups. Pause, reactivate or cancel a subscription. Skip an order or change the billing date or frequency. Charge an order now or ask for a new payment method. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Awtomic product?
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.
Can I connect Awtomic to Claude or ChatGPT?
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.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Awtomic API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Awtomic key or an Authorization header in the client config?
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.
How do you keep my Awtomic credentials?
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.
Can the AI change my Awtomic data?
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.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Awtomic server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run awtomic_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run awtomic_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run awtomic_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Awtomic tool that I need is missing?
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.
Which AI clients can I use?
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.
