What tools does the Invovate MCP server provide?

Four tools: calculate_invoice_totals (math only, no key), generate_invoice_pdf (returns a 7-day hosted link or writes a file), generate_invoice_ubl (UBL 2.1 XML), and get_invoice_capabilities (languages, templates, currencies).

Invoice Generator MCP Server — Create PDF, JSON & UBL Invoices from Claude, Cursor & AI Agents

Clients: Claude Desktop · Cursor · Windsurf · any MCP client
Tools: calculate_invoice_totals · generate_invoice_pdf · generate_invoice_ubl · get_invoice_capabilities

Tools

Tool	What it does	API key
`calculate_invoice_totals`	Compute subtotal, discounts, tax, shipping, deposit, grand total, balance due — no file.	No
`generate_invoice_pdf`	Generate a PDF; returns a 7-day hosted link, or writes the file when `save_path` is given.	Recommended
`generate_invoice_ubl`	Generate UBL 2.1 XML (interoperability/archival only).	Yes
`get_invoice_capabilities`	List supported languages, templates, currencies, and features.	No

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json and restart Claude Desktop:

{ "mcpServers": { "invovate": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "invovate-mcp-server"], "env": { "INVOVATE_API_KEY": "inv_your_key_here" } } } }

Cursor / Windsurf

Add the same mcpServers block to the editor's MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

Example prompt

Once connected, just ask in natural language:

"Create an invoice for Acme BV billing Globex for 3 consulting days at €900/day with 21% Dutch BTW, in English, and give me the PDF link."

The agent calls generate_invoice_pdf and returns a 7-day link that opens the rendered PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an MCP server for generating invoices?

Yes — invovate-mcp-server exposes the Invovate invoice API as MCP tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.

Does it need an API key?

calculate_invoice_totals works without a key. PDF and UBL output use a free inv_… key via INVOVATE_API_KEY.

Does it render Arabic, Japanese, and Hindi?

Yes — 11 languages with embedded fonts, including right-to-left Arabic, Japanese, Hindi (Devanagari), and Russian (Cyrillic).

Not regulated e-invoicing. The server generates invoice documents (PDF, JSON, UBL 2.1) but is not a regulated electronic-invoice transmission service — no Peppol / Factur-X / ZUGFeRD / XRechnung / NF-e compliance or government-network delivery. UBL export is for interoperability and archival only.
