One price list and one rate card, kept where the invoice and the quote can both read them.
Give a product a code, a name, a unit and a price in minor units, with the day that price
comes into force. Give a role an hourly rate the same way. Then hand the catalogue a list
of what a customer had, and it hands back the line items already priced: the quantity, the
description, the unit price and the VAT rate, in the exact argument shape invoice_create
takes and in the exact argument shape quote_create takes.
Nothing is invented and nothing is stored twice. A SKU holds its price ROWS, each with a valid-from date; the price on a date is worked out on the call, so raising a price in July does not rewrite what June's job was quoted at. An unknown code comes back as a refusal naming the code, never as a guessed price.

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
sku_set |
Add a catalogue line or reprice one: code, name, unit, optional VAT rate, and a price in minor units for one currency, tier and valid-from date |
sku_get |
The price of one SKU as of a date, naming the row it came from and any later price already booked |
sku_list |
The catalogue with the price in force, filtered by code prefix, currency and tier |
sku_delete |
Delete a line raised by mistake. Only one nothing depends on. Free on every tier |
rate_set |
Set an hourly rate on a role's rate card, from the day it applies, optionally bound to a SKU |
rate_get |
The hourly rate for a role as of a date, or every rate card |
lines_resolve |
Price a list of sku and role lines into invoice_create-ready and quote_create-ready items |
price_list_text |
The price list as plain text: prices in force, valid-from dates, then the labour rates |
price_list_pdf |
The price list as an A4 PDF, per currency and tier |
catalogue_report |
SKUs, rows in force, rows a later row already replaces, rows with no price in the default currency |
license_status / license_activate |

A price row is (currency, tier, valid_from, amount). The price on a date is the latest
valid_from at or before that date, for that currency and that tier. Setting a row on a
key that already exists REPLACES it, so two rows can never share one key and "the price
that day" is never a coin toss. A date before every row has no price and is refused; a
price that did not exist yet is not a price.
Nothing here converts a currency. A EUR price shown under a PLN heading would be an
invented number, so a SKU with no price in the currency you asked for is listed as having
none, and catalogue_report counts them.
The two servers this catalogue feeds take the same price in different scales, and the
gap is exactly 100x. invoice_create's item carries unit_price in MAJOR units
("Price per unit in major units, e.g. 90 for 90 EUR", servers/invoice/src/index.ts);
quote_create's item carries unit_price_minor in MINOR units ("9000 = 90.00 EUR, 90 =
JPY 90. Never a decimal", servers/quotes/src/index.ts). Both fields are called the unit
price, both take a plain number, and neither tool can tell that the number it was handed
was scaled for the other one: 45000 passed as unit_price is a valid invoice line for
EUR 45,000.00.
Measured on the worked resolution in test/unit.test.mjs: the correct payload nets
EUR 2,613.63, and the same items with the quote server's field fed into the invoice
server's engine net EUR 261,363.00, which the suite asserts is exactly 100x. In a
3-decimal currency such as KWD it is 1000x. So the catalogue stores minor units, which is
the only lossless form, and builds BOTH payloads itself in one call, printing the scale
against each. That is the whole reason lines_resolve returns two payloads instead of one
"price" the caller reshapes.
The second half of that: every stored price is a whole number of minor units, so
invoice_create's own computeTotals rounds the major-unit form straight back to the
integer it came from. rounding_drift_minor on a resolution is zero by construction and
the suite asserts it, which is the machine-checkable form of "the invoice will show the
figure the price list showed".
All data stays local: ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/catalogue/. No
network call is made by any tool. The only file outside that directory this server touches
is the shared business profile, read-only, for the default currency, the default VAT rate
and the name at the top of the price list. It creates no invoice and no quote.

Three prompts that scored 3 of 3, measured in round 37, 2026-09-06. Paste one in as it is written.
What does a vinyl banner cost on 15 March 2025, on 15 March 2026, and on 15 August 2026? And what would it have cost on 10 December 2024?
Paste this into Claude with the server connected.
What it did, measured in round 37, 2026-09-06: Three dates, three different rows, and the refusal relayed as a refusal rather than softened into the earliest row.
Set our labour rates in EUR: fitter 42.00 an hour from 1 January 2026, and senior fitter 58.00 an hour from 1 January 2026. Then show me the whole price list as it stands on 15 March 2026.
Paste this into Claude with the server connected.
What it did, measured in round 37, 2026-09-06: Correct, and the only thing against it is tool choice: asked for the price list it built one from sku_list plus rate_get rather than calling price_list_text, which prints the same figures plus the bracketed later row and the line "No business profile yet, so the list is headed 'Your business'".
Job for Quay Street Deli, priced as of 15 March 2026: 4 vinyl banners, 2 acrylic plaques, 1 site survey, 6.5 hours of fitter and 2.25 hours of senior fitter. Give me the payload for invoice_create AND the payload for quote_create, and tell me what I need to watch out for when I hand these over.
Paste this into Claude with the server connected.
What it did, measured in round 37, 2026-09-06: The server's central insight arrived intact and unprompted.
On the free tier for this path: 25 SKUs, the one standard price tier, unlimited rate cards, and every text answer including lines_resolve and price_list_text. Withholding lines_resolve would withhold the one thing the sibling servers came here for, and a price list nobody can read is not a price list. sku_delete is free on every tier and the resolution register is what makes that safe: a code that has priced a line, or that a rate card points at, is refused by name with the times it was used and the last resolution id, because a code printed on a document somebody sent is a fact about that document. A byte-identical duplicate is refused BEFORE the free cap is consulted, and the adversarial suite asserts that refusal text does not contain "free tier": a duplicate is one product filed twice far more often than it is two products, and it burns neither a slot nor a place in the list.
