Security Report

6.2
Moderate6.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server for invoice generation with appropriate security practices. The server properly handles optional authentication via environment variables, validates all inputs with Zod schemas, and avoids dangerous patterns like shell execution or arbitrary code evaluation. Permissions align well with the server's purpose of calling the Invovate API and writing local files. Minor issues include broad error handling and a log message that indicates whether an API key is set, but these do not pose significant security risks. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Invovate MCP Server

npm MCP Registry Glama OpenAPI License: MIT

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.

Tools

ToolWhat it doesKey needed
calculate_invoice_totalsCompute subtotal, discounts, tax, shipping, deposit, grand total, balance due — no file rendered.No
generate_invoice_pdfGenerate a PDF. Returns a 7-day hosted link (great for chat), or writes the file when save_path is given.Required
generate_invoice_ublGenerate UBL 2.1 XML (interoperability/archival only — not regulated e-invoicing).Yes
get_invoice_capabilitiesList supported languages, templates, currencies, and features.No

Get a free API key

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.)

Install

Claude Desktop

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.”

Cursor / Windsurf

Add the same block to the MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor, or the Windsurf MCP settings).

Run from source (before npm publish)

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" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Env varDefaultPurpose
INVOVATE_API_KEYFree API key (inv_…). Enables PDF/UBL output and hosted links.
INVOVATE_API_BASEhttps://invovate.comOverride the API base (rarely needed).

Test

npm test                                   # lists tools + JSON math (no key)
INVOVATE_API_KEY=inv_xxx npm test          # also exercises the PDF hosted-link path

Notes

Example prompts

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.
