Why did MRR drop this month? Connect Stripe to Genie, the Databox AI Analyst, with the Stripe MCP connector and ask. Genie checks the MRR metric in Databox, then reads the subscriptions, invoices and payments in Stripe. In this demo, two canceled subscriptions and three failed payments explain the whole 3.9% drop, and $2,900 of it is still recoverable.

In this video:

  • Why a dashboard shows that MRR dropped, but not why
  • What the Stripe MCP connector does next to the Stripe integration
  • How to connect Stripe and set permissions for each tool
  • Asking Genie why MRR dropped and getting the canceled customers, dates and reasons
  • Telling failed payments apart from real churn, and approving a fix before Genie acts
  • Catching the next MRR drop with a Skill and a Routine that posts to Slack
