MCP Recurring Invoices in Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connectors

Retainers and subscriptions billed on a schedule you set once. It stores a billing schedule per client, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or every N days, shows what falls due, and generates exactly one invoice per schedule per period into the invoice server's own store with its number series and its A4 PDF.

The schedule and the invoices it generates live in the hosted store behind the token, so the dry run and the real run both read the same state whether you connect from claude.ai or Claude Desktop.

What you get

You sayTool
Bill Acme 12 hours at 90 EUR every month from the 1st, 14 day terms.schedule_create
Show me what this month's billing run would create before you create it.invoice_generate_due with dry_run
What is due in the next 30 days?schedule_upcoming

The worked run created 4 invoices totalling EUR 4,320.00 and, repeated five minutes later, created 0 and skipped 4. The key is the period, not the calendar day, so a billing run you forgot you already did is a no-op rather than four duplicate invoices.

Connect it, no install

https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect mints an anonymous token and prints a URL per server, including this one, shaped like https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/recurring/t/<token>. That URL works with no headers: the token is in the path, not in an Authorization field this form does not have.

  1. Open https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect and copy the URL printed for MCP Recurring Invoices.
  2. There is no config file here: the Add custom connector form asks for a name and a Remote MCP server URL, with an Advanced settings section for an optional OAuth Client ID and Client Secret.
  3. Paste the URL as the Remote MCP server URL. Leave the optional OAuth Client ID and Client Secret blank; this endpoint does not use them.
  4. Click Connect, then turn the connector on for a conversation from the + button, Connectors.

Idle anonymous tokens are swept after 30 days. Since this route has no filesystem, a file MCP Recurring Invoices generates comes back as a download link that expires after one hour. A Pro key can replace the token in the same URL and removes the free-tier limits.

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connectors notes worth knowing first

On an individual Pro or Max plan you add the connector yourself from Customize, Connectors. On Team and Enterprise it is the other way round: only an Owner or Primary Owner can add a custom connector, at Organization settings, Connectors, and members then connect to what the Owner added rather than pasting their own URL.

Free: 3 active schedules, unlimited generation, a 30 day upcoming view and a 3 month forecast. Pro is $19 once, verified offline, and binds to the token after checkout.

Questions

Does this need OAuth?

No. Add custom connector offers an Advanced settings section with an OAuth Client ID and Client Secret, but the connect-by-URL route does not use it. Leave both blank: the token in the URL path is what authenticates.

I am on a Team or Enterprise plan and cannot add a connector.

That is documented, not a bug: on Team and Enterprise, only an Owner or Primary Owner can add a custom connector, at Organization settings, Connectors, Add, Custom, Web. After that, members connect to the URL the Owner added from Customize, Connectors.

Can I use my Pro key instead of the free anonymous token?

Yes. The token segment of the URL from /mcp/connect can be replaced with a Pro key, which removes the free-tier limits on MCP Recurring Invoices for that connector.

Why did a generated file come back as a link instead of opening?

The connector runs server-side with no filesystem of its own, so any file MCP Recurring Invoices produces is handed back as a download link that expires after one hour, rather than a path on disk.
