What if you could ask your billing system to generate reports in plain English?
"Show me my top 10 clients by revenue." "Create a CSV of all overdue invoices." "Which products have the highest churn rate?"
With AI connected to your WHMCS, these aren't hypothetical questions.they're actual queries you can run right now.
The Old Way: Manual Reports in WHMCS
WHMCS has built-in reports. They work. But if you've ever tried to create a custom report, you know the pain:
- Navigate through multiple admin screens
- Export to CSV, open in Excel
- Filter and sort manually
- Repeat every time you need updated data
For a quick snapshot, that's fine. For regular reporting? It's a time sink.
The AI Way: Natural Language Queries
When you connect Claude to WHMCS via MCP Server, you can generate reports by simply describing what you want.
Example 1: Top Clients by Revenue
You ask:
"Show me my top 10 clients sorted by total revenue"
Claude returns: A formatted table with client names, total spend, active services count, and account age. No clicking through screens.
Example 2: MRR Breakdown by Product
You ask:
"What's my MRR breakdown by product type?"
Claude returns: A summary showing hosting products, domains, SSL certificates.each with their contribution to monthly recurring revenue.
Example 3: Export to CSV
You ask:
"Create a CSV file with all clients who have overdue invoices, sorted by amount owed"
Claude returns: A downloadable CSV with exactly the data you requested. Ready to share with your team or import elsewhere.
What Reports Can You Generate?
With MCP Server's 28 tools, you can query:
Client Data
- Top clients by revenue or LTV
- Clients at risk of churn (no recent activity)
- Client distribution by country or group
Financial Data
- MRR and ARR breakdowns
- Overdue invoice summaries
- Revenue by product or service type
- Payment history and trends
Support Data
- Open tickets by priority
- Response time analysis
- Clients with most support requests
Service Data
- Active vs suspended services
- Services expiring soon
- Server utilization (if tracked)
How It Works
- You describe what you want in plain English
- Claude queries WHMCS using the MCP Server API
- Data is returned formatted, summarized, or exported
The AI handles the complexity.knowing which API endpoints to call, how to filter data, and how to format results.
Real Example: Weekly Revenue Report
Here's a prompt you might use every Monday:
"Give me a weekly revenue summary: total invoices paid in the last 7 days, new clients signed up, services cancelled, and current MRR compared to last week."
In seconds, you have a snapshot of your business health without opening a single admin page.
Beyond Reports: Analysis and Recommendations
The real power isn't just fetching data.it's the analysis.
Ask:
"Which clients haven't logged into the client area in 90 days but still have active services?"
Why this matters: These are potential churn risks. Clients who don't engage often cancel without warning.
Ask:
"What are my most profitable products based on the revenue-to-support-ticket ratio?"
Why this matters: Some products generate revenue but consume support time. This helps you optimize your offerings.
