How to connect Kaching to Claude Desktop

Written by Simon

Claude Desktop can now read your Kaching Subscription data directly. Ask questions like "What's my MRR this month?" or "Show me dunning failures this week" and Claude will pull live numbers from your shop.

Currently this integration is read-only - Claude can analyse your data but cannot make changes to your subscriptions, customers, or store.

Before you start

Kaching Subscriptions & Claude integration requires a Growth plan or higher on Kaching Subscriptions.

Step 1 - Generate your token in Kaching

  1. In the Kaching admin, go to Settings → Integrations → Claude Integration.

  2. Click Generate MCP token

  3. Copy both the Connector URL and the MCP token. Keep them somewhere safe - you'll paste them into Claude Desktop in the next step.

⚠️ The full token is shown only once. After you leave this page it will be masked. If you lose it, revoke it and generate a new one.

Step 2 - Open the Claude Desktop Connectors

In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Connectors → Customize.

Step 3 - Click add custom connector

Step 4 - Setup custom connector

  1. Set Name to Kaching Subscriptions

  2. Set Remote MCP server URL to https://subscriptions.kachingappz.app/mcp?token=YOUR_TOKEN (replace YOUR_TOKEN with thew token you copied)

  3. Leave Advanced settings empty

  4. Click Add

Step 5 - Grant tool permissions

The Kaching Subscriptions connector should now appear in your connector list:

Step 6 - Ask Claude about your shop

Start a new chat and try prompts like:

  • "What's my MRR this month?"

  • "Show me the top 10 contracts by lifetime value."

  • "Which subscriptions had failed payments this week?"

  • "Which products have the most active subscribers?"

  • "Summarise my churn and retention over the last 90 days."

Managing your token

  • Revoke: In Settings → Integrations → Claude Integration, click Revoke. Claude Desktop loses access immediately.

  • Regenerate: Revoke the existing token, then click Generate MCP token again. Update the new token in your Claude Desktop custom connectors and restart Claude.

Troubleshooting

"Growth plan required" warning in Kaching

The integration is only available on Growth plan or higher. Upgrade from the banner on the integration page, then return to generate your token.

Claude says it can't reach the connector

  • Make sure you fully quit and reopened Claude Desktop after editing the config.

  • Double-check the Connector URL in your config matches the one shown in Kaching exactly.

Claude returns an authentication error

  • The token may have been revoked or mistyped. Go back to Kaching, revoke the existing token, generate a fresh one, and update YOUR_TOKEN in the config.
