AI agents

The Chargebee CLI integrates with your AI coding agents to support predictable workflows for calling Chargebee APIs and generating SDK code samples.

The chargebee-cli skill gives your agent instructions for using the CLI. It supports Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other agents through the universal option.

Set up your agent

From your project directory:

chargebee skills add

Choose your agent and whether to install the skill for the current project or all your projects.

To list all available skills without installing them:

chargebee skills add --list

List installed skills:

chargebee skills list

API requests require a configured site.

Install for a specific agent

Specify the agent and scope to skip selection prompts:

chargebee skills add --agent claude-code --project

You can repeat --agent to install for multiple agents, or use --global to install for all your projects:

chargebee skills add --agent cursor --agent codex --project
chargebee skills add --agent cursor --global

Try it

Ask your agent:

Use the Chargebee CLI to look up the parameters for creating a customer and generate an SDK code sample for my project.

With a test site configured, try:

List up to 20 invoices from my Chargebee test site and show each invoice’s ID, total, and status.

The CLI provides:

  • API reference: chargebee docs <resource> <operation> returns parameter names, types, and required flags.
  • SDK examples: --code-sample <lang> generates code samples. See Code samples.
  • Machine-readable output: --json returns structured output without interactive prompts. listen streams one JSON record per line. See JSON output.

Manage the skill

Check installed skills, refresh their instructions, or remove an installation:

chargebee skills list
chargebee skills update
chargebee skills remove --agent cursor

Safety checks

Commands run by agents follow the same CLI safety checks:

  • Live-site restrictions: write operations and chargebee listen are blocked on live sites.
  • Catalog compatibility: operations that do not match the site’s Product Catalog version are blocked before an API request.
  • API keys: generated code samples use placeholder keys. Saved keys follow the CLI’s credential storage settings.
