MCP Goods Receipt in Claude Code

Goods receipt notes against purchase orders: what arrived, what was damaged, what never came. You raise a purchase order with whole-unit lines, then receive it as a goods-receipt note (GRN): one cell per PO line for units received and units damaged. Received is checked against the PO line's tolerance before the note opens, more lines and more units can be added as batches arrive, and grn_close freezes the note. grn_discrepancy lists every line not as ordered (damaged, declared shortage, or received under tolerance), the status report counts notes open, closed and discrepant, and the CSV export hands the whole ledger to the accounts side. GRN ids are sequential and never reissued; closing is the record, not deletion.

`claude mcp add goods-receipt` at user scope is the level that matches the data: one store per machine holds every PO and GRN, and a truck arriving is a conversation in the terminal where the order was raised anyway. There is no network call in the server, so receiving works identically offline.

What you get in Claude Code

You say	Tool
Raise a PO for 40 cases of glassware and 12 crates of bottle openers.	`po_add`
The glassware truck came: 38 cases fine, 2 broken. Open a GRN.	`grn_add`
What is still wrong across everything we received this month?	`grn_discrepancy then grn_status_report`

The unit suite is 18 tests, 18 passing, 0 failing (node --test, node v22), covering tolerance checks on received, damage and shortage per line, and the close discipline. The contract suite asserts the snapshot rule on the raw store bytes, not only through the API.

Install it in Claude Code

The file is .mcp.json, and the key inside it is mcpServers.

Scope	Path
local (default)	`~/.claude.json, this project only`
project	`.mcp.json at the repository root`
user	`~/.claude.json, every project`

If you also run Claude Desktop, the shortest path there is one click: goods-receipt.mcpb from the latest release opens as an extension, with no JSON and no terminal. Claude Code reads its own config, so here it is:

From the terminal, against a built file:

claude mcp add --scope user goods-receipt -- node /absolute/path/to/mcp-servers/servers/goods-receipt/dist/index.js
claude mcp list    # health-check it before the first prompt

# or --scope project, committed to .mcp.json for the team

The node command above wants a built file. From a clone, once:

git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git
cd mcp-servers && npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/goods-receipt

That writes servers/goods-receipt/dist/index.js, and its absolute path is the one argument the config needs.

The npm packages are not published yet, so the form below returns a 404 today. It is here because it is what the entry becomes the day the publish lands, with nothing else changed:

claude mcp add goods-receipt -- npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-goods-receipt

No restart. The entry is picked up in the next session, and `/mcp` reconnects one on demand.

Nothing is published to npm yet, so the working install paths are the ones above: the .mcpb bundle from the latest release, a clone and build, or the hosted URL.

No install: the hosted endpoint

The same server runs at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/goods-receipt over MCP streamable HTTP, no install. Mint a free token with curl https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/token, or use a Pro key. It has no filesystem, so a file comes back as a one-hour download link.

claude mcp add --transport http goods-receipt https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/goods-receipt \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Claude Code notes worth knowing first

The `--` is load-bearing: it separates Claude Code's own options, such as --transport, --env and --scope, from the command that runs the server. And the default scope is local, private to you and to the directory you ran it in, so adding it in the wrong folder leaves the tools absent with no error at all.

Free: Purchase orders, receipt notes, line additions, the discrepancy list and the status report are all free and unlimited; the estate pattern caps nothing a warehouse needs day to day. Every read is free on every tier. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.

Questions

Which scope should I use for MCP Goods Receipt?

Local, the default, writes ~/.claude.json and is private to you and that directory. --scope project writes .mcp.json at the repository root, shared through version control. --scope user loads it everywhere.

Why did my first prompt ignore the server?

Measured, not documented: of three fresh projects, one first prompt made zero tool calls although initialize answered in 1.05 seconds. Run claude mcp list once first: it prints Connected, and the next run used the tool.

Can I use MCP Goods Receipt without installing anything?

Yes: claude mcp add --transport http goods-receipt https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/goods-receipt --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>". Mint a free token at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/token or use a Pro key. -t and -H are the short forms.
