Query your Dodo Payments data directly from Zed using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Connect to your agent
What you can ask Zed
  • What was our total revenue last month, by currency?
  • How many active subscriptions do we have and how many are set to cancel at the next billing date?
  • Show payments that failed this week with their error codes.
  • Which products drove the most revenue this quarter?
  • List refunds in the last 30 days and the reason for each.

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Dodo Payments to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Dodo Payments. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Zed's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Zed about your data

Restart Zed and start asking questions. "What was our total revenue last month, by currency?" — and get a real answer backed by live Dodo Payments data.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Zed

Place this in ~/.config/zed/settings.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "settings": {
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Dodo Payments MCP in Zed

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Dodo Payments to Zed?

You need two things: (1) connect Dodo Payments to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Zed using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Zed can query your Dodo Payments data directly.

What Dodo Payments data can Zed access?

Zed can access any data available through your Dodo Payments connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Dodo Payments data sent to Zed's servers?

Query results are returned to Zed as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Dodo Payments and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Dodo Payments and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Dodo Payments accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Dodo Payments accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Zed will be able to query all of them.
