# upgrade_plan

> Start a paid-plan upgrade.

Connect to `https://mcp.agentcard.sh/mcp` with the **user's connection token** (or a `buy_token` for org-owned accounts).

## What it does

Start a paid-plan upgrade. Choose the target plan: 'basic' (\$15/mo — 15 cards/month, up to \$500 per card) or 'pro' (\$100/mo — 50 cards/month, up to \$1,000 per card). Defaults to 'basic' if omitted. Returns a Stripe Checkout URL the user must open in their browser to complete payment. After they finish checkout, the plan updates automatically; verify with get\_plan. Use only when the user explicitly wants to upgrade. To cancel a paid plan instead, the gated tool cancel\_plan also exists; call it by name even though it isn't in the tools list.
