Overview

What changes for founders and finance teams

Baremetrics turns your billing data into SaaS metrics. With the connector, those figures stop living only on a dashboard: you ask Claude about MRR, churn, a cohort or a single customer, and it pulls the numbers itself and explains them in the conversation. The extension only reads, which Baremetrics states for every tool.

Board numbers in one question. get_metrics_summary sums up all your metrics for a date range, and get_metric adds the month-by-month curve when someone asks why.

From a number to the names behind it. get_metric_customers and get_metric_plans split a metric by account or by plan, so a jump in expansion revenue comes with the customers and tiers that caused it.

One customer's story before a call. list_customers finds the account, then get_customer and list_customer_events give its details and its event history.

What Claude will not do here. By default the sheet only exposes reading, and Baremetrics labels all seventeen tools read-only: no refund, no plan change, no cancellation. It runs as a desktop extension, listed for Claude Desktop only, and it needs your Baremetrics API key. Nothing runs on its own either: no tool fires when a customer churns. Alerts of that kind belong to an automation tool, a different job, gathered on the Integrations hub. For another data source Claude can query, see the Claude airtable connector.

Vocabulary

Five words before you plug it in

The vocabulary you will meet while connecting Baremetrics.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in that account while it answers you.
Tool
One named thing the connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs by itself, and the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The service's own sign-in screen, where you hand Claude the access it will use later. Given once per person, and taken back the same way.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes through with a change to your account, shown in the chat at the moment it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant such as Claude talk to an outside service like Baremetrics.
Connect

Connecting Baremetrics to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the connectors in Claude Desktop

    This one is a desktop extension, listed for Claude Desktop only. In the app's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and find Baremetrics. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner turns it on first.

  2. 02

    Add it and hand over your key

    Click Connect on its row. Baremetrics' documentation lists an API key from your Baremetrics account among the requirements, so have one ready. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again.

  3. 03

    Know what the key opens

    The key decides what Claude reaches, not Claude. Baremetrics hands out keys from the API page of its settings; to cut Claude off later, Disconnect the extension from its row in Claude.

Tools

The 17 tools, sorted by what they do

Baremetrics gives Claude 17 tools: 17 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.

One group only: every tool on the sheet reads. Tool names stay as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (17)

17 tools

Seventeen tools that look up your metrics and billing records without changing anything.

get_account

Returns the basic details of the Baremetrics account the API key belongs to. It is a quick way for Claude to confirm which company it is looking at before it quotes a single figure back to you.

When it helps
you run two SaaS products with separate keys and want to be sure the numbers come from the right one.

list_sources

Lists the data sources connected to your Baremetrics account, with their IDs. Most other tools need one of those IDs, so Claude usually calls this one first, before any metric or customer lookup.

When it helps
your billing runs through two providers and you want revenue from only one of them.
Watch out
without one of these IDs, most other tools cannot run.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_metrics_summary

Gives a summary of all your metrics over a date range in a single answer, the widest view the extension offers. Claude can then pick out the figures that matter for your question.

When it helps
a founder wants last month's headline numbers ten minutes before a board call.
Watch out
Baremetrics suggests ranges under six months here, or the request may time out.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_metric

Returns the time series of one metric, such as MRR, ARR or churn, over the period you choose. Claude can then describe the trend or compare it with an earlier period.

When it helps
you want month-by-month revenue churn since January to see whether the new onboarding helped.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_metric_customers

Shows which customers contribute to a given metric, so a number on the dashboard turns into actual account names. It is the step from how much to who.

When it helps
expansion revenue jumped last month and the sales lead wants to know which accounts drove it.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_metric_plans

Breaks a metric down plan by plan, so the total shows what each tier contributes. Claude can rank plans or spot the one that is shrinking.

When it helps
pricing is under review and you need MRR per plan to see which tier really carries the business.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_cohorts

Runs a cohort retention analysis: groups of customers who joined in the same period, and how many of them stay or leave over the following months.

When it helps
a product lead wants to know whether customers signed after the redesign stay longer than the ones before.
Watch out
keep cohort ranges under 12 months, per Baremetrics' own advice.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_customers

Lists your customers and lets Claude search among them. It is how a name mentioned in a message becomes a Baremetrics record you can then open.

When it helps
a complaint arrives from a company name you do not recognise and you need the matching account quickly.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_customer

Brings up what Baremetrics holds on one customer, for when a question is about a single account. Claude usually reaches it after finding the customer in the list.

When it helps
before a renewal call, the account manager wants the client's numbers in one place.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_customer_events

Returns the events recorded for one customer, the account's own timeline rather than the whole company's. Claude can read it alongside the customer's details.

When it helps
you want to see when a key account moved down a tier and what it was paying before.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_subscriptions

Lists subscriptions across the account, so Claude can count them, group them or compare them by plan or status. You get the whole picture rather than one customer at a time.

When it helps
finance needs every active subscription on an annual plan for a revenue forecast.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_subscription

Reads the details of a single subscription, the level to reach when a question is about one contract rather than a trend. Claude can set it next to the customer's event history.

When it helps
a customer disputes their billing and you want the facts of their current subscription before replying.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_plans

Lists every plan defined in your Baremetrics account. It gives Claude the vocabulary of your pricing before it talks about revenue per tier or per interval.

When it helps
you are cleaning up legacy pricing and want the full list of plans still on record.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_plan

Returns the details of one plan, useful when a question hinges on a specific tier rather than the whole catalogue. Claude reaches for it once it knows which plan you mean.

When it helps
you need the details of an old plan while its last customers are still on it.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_charges

Lists charges, with filters to narrow the set down. It is the transaction level of Baremetrics, below subscriptions and metrics, where individual payments show up.

When it helps
an accountant wants every charge from last week to reconcile against the bank statement.
Watch out
very wide ranges repeated in a row can hit the hourly request limit.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

get_charge

Opens the details of a single charge. Claude uses it when a question is about one payment, after spotting it in the list of charges or in a customer's history.

When it helps
a customer questions an amount on their card and you need that exact payment in front of you.

Sourcegithub.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

list_events

Lists events across the whole account rather than for one customer, which is where patterns such as a wave of cancellations become visible at a glance.

When it helps
you want every cancellation of the past month in one place before a churn review.
Watch out
Baremetrics caps its API at 3,600 requests per hour.

Approvals

What Claude checks with you before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it takes on an account on your behalf. The request shows up in the chat, right when it matters.

On Team and Enterprise, the owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also limit what a connector may do for the whole organisation, keeping reading open and closing writing, for instance. That setting applies to everyone and nobody works around it from their own account. And Claude only reaches what your Baremetrics API key opens: the extension passes requests straight to Baremetrics with that key.

Plans

Which Claude plans include it

Out of the 819 sheets in the official directory, none shows availability by plan. The connector-by-connector answer is not published anywhere: it is a real gap in the catalogue.

The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to every user on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, while desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner turns the connector on for the organisation before members can connect. For the current state of this one, check the connector's sheet in the official directory. As a desktop extension, this one is listed for Claude Desktop only.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when a customer churns, a charge fails or MRR drops.

Everything here comes from Baremetrics' own documentation, the README of its public repository: neither Claude's help centre nor Anthropic's developer docs have a page on this connector. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, since an admin can open actions no public sheet shows. The directory's partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic writes on every sheet that it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes nor guarantee how they behave. By default the sheet only exposes reading, and Baremetrics labels every tool read-only; that describes today's extension, not a promise about later versions.

FAQ

Claude Baremetrics connector: common questions

01What can Claude do with the Baremetrics connector?
Claude can answer questions about your SaaS metrics from the data Baremetrics already calculates. Its seventeen tools cover the metrics summary, single-metric time series, the customers and plans behind a metric, cohort retention, customers and their event history, subscriptions, plans, charges and account-wide events. You ask in plain words, for instance why churn rose last quarter, and Claude fetches the figures and explains them in the conversation, next to your question.
02Can Claude issue refunds or change subscriptions in Baremetrics?
No write tool appears on the sheet: by default all seventeen tools read, and Baremetrics annotates each one as read-only with no write operations. Claude can look up charges, subscriptions and plans, but it cannot refund, cancel, upgrade or edit anything. That describes the extension as published today. Any change to billing still happens in Baremetrics or in your payment provider, by someone with the right access, never through Claude.
03Does Claude ask before acting in Baremetrics?
By default, Claude asks for confirmation before each action it takes on an account on your behalf. Since every Baremetrics tool only reads, there is nothing for that rule to catch today, and no source describes a confirmation specific to these tools. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members may let some actions pass without being asked, and they can restrict what the connector may do for the organisation.
04Which plans is it available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and no directory sheet displays it. The general rule is that remote connectors are open to every user on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, while desktop extensions like this one install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner switches connectors on first. The directory sheet is the only place that shows the current state for your account, so check it there.
05Can Claude see all of our Baremetrics data?
Claude sees what the API key you provided can reach, and nothing beyond it. Baremetrics describes the extension as a pass-through: requests go straight to the Baremetrics API with your key, and the extension itself stores and logs nothing, nor sends your data to any third party beyond Baremetrics. Everything it reads is also marked read-only by Baremetrics, so looking is all it does today. On Claude's side, an owner of a Team or Enterprise workspace can also restrict what the connector may do.
06Why does Claude get a timeout or rate limit from Baremetrics?
Because Baremetrics sets two limits on its side of the connection. Very wide date ranges can make a request time out. When that happens, Baremetrics' advice is under 12 months for cohorts and under six months for metric summaries. The API also allows 3,600 requests per hour, so repeating broad queries can hit the cap. Narrower periods are the fix Baremetrics points to, and spacing out broad queries keeps you under the hourly cap.
07Claude or an automation tool for Baremetrics?
They answer different needs, so it depends on the task. Claude works inside a conversation: you ask about churn or a customer, it pulls the figures and explains them, and nothing else happens once you stop typing. It does not react on its own when a customer cancels or revenue dips. Alerts and scheduled reports that run in the background are what an automation tool is for; questions on demand are where the connector helps.
