Credit notes and purchase orders written against the invoices the invoice server already holds, with the VAT unwound at the rate you charged. It credits an invoice in full, by a gross amount or by named lines and quantities, storing every money field negative in minor units so a period's documents sum to the net of what was billed, and it refuses to give back more than the invoice's remaining creditable amount. It also raises purchase orders to suppliers with line items, VAT, currency and an expected delivery date, receives them in full or in part, and reports credited and on-order totals per currency alongside deliveries past their date.
credit_note_list, credit_note_get, purchase_order_list, purchase_order_get and billing_docs_report are reads and safe to auto-approve; keep credit_note_create, purchase_order_create and purchase_order_receive behind a click, since each writes a numbered document that spends one of the month's five free ones and burns an id that is never reused.
| You say | Tool |
|---|---|
| Credit invoice INV-2026-0001 in full, the client sent the work back. | credit_note_create |
| Raise a purchase order to Nordic Print for 500 brochures at 1.20 each, due the 20th. | purchase_order_create |
| Which purchase orders are past their delivery date? | billing_docs_report |
Crediting ten percent of a mixed-VAT invoice at a single rate and splitting it across the invoice's own rates give the same gross, EUR 177.00, and VAT lines that differ by EUR 6.10, 22.6 percent. The client's document and the payment are identical either way, so nothing downstream ever surfaces the error; only the VAT return does. The split is done at the point the document is written.
The file is mcp.json, and the key inside it is mcpServers.

There is no hosted endpoint for this one yet. MCP Billing Docs runs locally over stdio with the config above, which is also the only form in which it reads and writes files on your own disk. Three of the servers in this collection are served at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/<name> over MCP streamable HTTP: time-tracker, price-tracker and invoice.
Cline is the one client here with an unsafe transport default. `type` selects it, and omitting `type` falls back to the legacy sse transport, so a streamable HTTP endpoint needs it written in or you will debug a server that is fine. Local entries carry "disabled" and an "autoApprove" array.
Free: 5 documents a calendar month, credit notes and purchase orders together, counted by issue date. Both text exports are never metered, and full, partial and per-line credit notes, VAT, multiple currencies and receiving orders are all on the free tier. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.
The CLI reads ~/.cline/mcp.json. For the extension, do not hunt for a path: MCP Servers icon, Configure tab, Configure MCP Servers. cline mcp opens a wizard, and cline config mcp --json is the non-interactive form.
Set the transport explicitly. Omitting type falls back to the legacy sse transport, so streamable HTTP needs "type": "streamableHttp" written in. It is the one default here that sends you debugging a server that works.
Approve the read-only ones and leave the writing ones behind a click: each entry carries an autoApprove array and a disabled flag.
