Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/chargebee/cancel_subscription

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Cancel a subscription now, at the end of the term or on a date.

Chargebee MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/chargebee.md

MCP tool: `chargebee_write → cancel_subscription`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Cancels the subscription and returns its new status and any credit notes Chargebee raised. credit_option sets how unused time on an immediate cancellation is credited; leave it out to use your site setting. refundable_credits_handling schedule_refund sends refundable credits back at once, no_action leaves a credit note with refund due. Contract term subscriptions need contract_term_cancel_option. This cancels a customer's service and can move money, so by default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `subscription_id` | string | yes | Subscription ID from list_subscriptions. |
| `cancel_option` | enum | no | immediately, end_of_term, specific_date or end_of_billing_term. For subscriptions without a contract term. Default: immediately. |
| `cancel_at` | datetime | no | With specific_date: when the cancellation takes effect. |
| `credit_option_for_current_term_charges` | enum | no | With immediately: none, prorate, full or consumption_based. Default: your site setting. |
| `refundable_credits_handling` | enum | no | no_action or schedule_refund. Default: your site setting. |
| `contract_term_cancel_option` | enum | no | Required with a contract term: terminate_immediately, end_of_contract_term, specific_date or end_of_subscription_billing_term. The last two need Chargebee Support to enable them. |
| `cancel_reason_code` | string | no | A reason code configured in Chargebee, case-sensitive. Required if your site makes reason codes mandatory. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
