How should I handle pagination for large data sets?

Use zero-based indexing starting at page 0. For efficiency, set the size parameter to 200 and iterate until the current page number matches the totalPages value.

What resources can be managed using these tools?

The tools provide full coverage for Companies, Products, Subscriptions, Orders, Invoices, Usage Summaries, and Quotes.

Can I filter results directly through the API?

Yes, most list tools support server-side filtering for parameters like companyId, status, and search terms to minimize data transfer and processing time.

What is the rate limit for Pax8 MCP tools?

The hosted MCP server allows for up to 1,000 successful calls per minute. If you exceed this, the tool will return a rate-limit error requiring a brief wait before retrying.

How do I authenticate with the Pax8 MCP server?

Generate an MCP token in the Pax8 portal under Integrations > MCP and provide it via the x-pax8-mcp-token header or the PAX8_MCP_TOKEN environment variable.
