Connects Claude to the Invovate API for generating invoices in PDF, JSON, and UBL 2.1 formats across 11 languages, including right-to-left and non-Latin scripts. Exposes four tools: calculate_invoice_totals for line-item math without rendering, generate_invoice_pdf that returns a 7-day hosted link or saves locally, generate_invoice_ubl for XML export, and get_invoice_capabilities to list supported templates and currencies. JSON calculations work without a key, but PDF and UBL output require a free API key from invovate.com. Useful when you need Claude to produce print-ready invoices in a conversation or automate multilingual billing workflows without building your own rendering pipeline.
Invovate MCP Server is a free, no-signup invoice MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients — it generates invoices as PDF, JSON, and UBL 2.1 via the Invovate invoice API.
Let AI agents generate PDF, JSON, and UBL 2.1 invoices in 11 languages (including right-to-left Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, and Cyrillic) through the Invovate invoice API. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-capable client.
JSON math works with no API key; PDF/UBL output uses a free key.
| Tool | What it does | Key needed |
|---|---|---|
calculate_invoice_totals | Compute subtotal, discounts, tax, shipping, deposit, grand total, balance due — no file rendered. | No |
generate_invoice_pdf | Generate a PDF. Returns a 7-day hosted link (great for chat), or writes the file when save_path is given. | Required |
generate_invoice_ubl | Generate UBL 2.1 XML (interoperability/archival only — not regulated e-invoicing). | Yes |
get_invoice_capabilities | List supported languages, templates, currencies, and features. | No |
Sign up at https://invovate.com/auth — your key starts with inv_. Free tier,
no credit card. (calculate_invoice_totals works without a key; PDF, UBL, QR, and hosted links require a free key.)
Add to claude_desktop_config.json
(~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS,
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"invovate": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "invovate-mcp-server"],
"env": { "INVOVATE_API_KEY": "inv_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Then ask: “Create an invoice for Acme BV billing Globex for 3 consulting days at €900/day with 21% VAT, in English, and give me the PDF.”
Add the same block to the MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor, or the
Windsurf MCP settings).
git clone https://github.com/LightSpeedPlusOne/invovate-mcp-server.git
cd invovate-mcp-server && npm install
INVOVATE_API_KEY=inv_your_key node src/index.js
…and point your client at it:
{
"mcpServers": {
"invovate": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/src/index.js"],
"env": { "INVOVATE_API_KEY": "inv_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
INVOVATE_API_KEY | — | Free API key (inv_…). Enables PDF/UBL output and hosted links. |
INVOVATE_API_BASE | https://invovate.com | Override the API base (rarely needed). |
npm test # lists tools + JSON math (no key)
INVOVATE_API_KEY=inv_xxx npm test # also exercises the PDF hosted-link path
Once connected, ask your AI client in natural language:
Create an invoice for Acme Ltd for 3 hours of consulting at $120/hour. Return it as a PDF.
Generate a UBL 2.1 invoice for a SaaS subscription charged €49/month.
Make a Japanese invoice (¥) for ¥350,000 of web design with 10% consumption tax, and give me the link.
