delete_recurring_payment
Delete a recurring payment profile.
What delete_recurring_payment does
Permanently deletes the specified recurring payment. Most domains soft-delete (the record stays in the audit log) so this is reversible by an admin.
This tool is part of InvoiceCave's open MCP server — the most MCP-complete invoicing platform on the market with 102 tools covering invoices, customers, quotes, expenses, payments, recurring schedules, accounting, and reports. Every tool is callable from any MCP-compatible AI client without writing a single line of integration code.
How an AI uses delete_recurring_payment
The AI should always confirm with the user before calling a delete_* tool. InvoiceCave's audit log records the source as 'mcp' so you can always trace which AI client and which tool call removed the record.
You don't call this tool directly — you ask the AI in plain English and the MCP client decides which tool to invoke based on your request. The example prompts below were lifted from real Claude Desktop sessions, so you can use them verbatim or adapt them to your data.
Parameters
delete_recurring_payment accepts 1 parameter — 1 required, 0 optional. The AI fills these in from your natural-language prompt; you never write them by hand.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | required | Recurring payment profile ID |
Request example
Under the hood, your AI client sends a JSON-RPC 2.0 tools/call request to InvoiceCave's MCP endpoint at https://www.invoicecave.com/api/mcp/mcp. Here's what a delete_recurring_payment call looks like:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "delete_recurring_payment",
"arguments": {
"id": "id_a1b2c3d4"
}
}
}You won't write this yourself — it's shown so developers can see exactly what the MCP client generates. The arguments object maps 1:1 to the parameters above. Authentication is handled by the Authorization: Bearer header with your API key.
Example AI prompts
Type any of these into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor — InvoiceCave's MCP server will route them to delete_recurring_payment automatically.
“Delete this recurring payment (I'll confirm first).”

Is calling delete_recurring_payment secure?▾
Yes. Every call is authenticated by the API key you mint in the dashboard, scoped to a single organization, rate-limited per key, and recorded in the audit log with source='mcp'. Sensitive fields (SMTP passwords, encryption keys) are never returned to the AI client.
