MCP Purchase Requisition in Cline

Purchase requisitions you build once and run per order, with a signed record of each run. You hold a requisition as a named, versioned list of steps, optionally grouped into sections, each required or optional, and run it against an order as many times as you like. A run copies its requisition's steps when it starts and records the version, so editing the requisition afterwards never changes a run already under way. run_check marks steps pass, fail or na with who and when (na counts as answered, never as passed; a required step failed blocks sign-off), run_report gives the whole run with failures in full, and run_sign_off puts a name and a date on it and freezes it. RUN-YYYY-NNNN ids are sequential and never reissued.

run_report and the list tools are reads and safe to auto-approve. Keep run_check and run_sign_off behind a click: sign-off freezes the run and the RUN-YYYY-NNNN number is never reissued, so a wrong sign-off is a permanent record. Nothing here ever writes into another server's store.

What you get in Cline

You sayTool
Make a pre-delivery vehicle check requisition: tyres, lights, load secured.purchase-requisition_create then purchase-requisition_item_add
Start a run of it for van BX21 KLM against PO-0031.run_start
The weight step failed at 3620 against a plated 3500. Can it be signed off?run_check then run_sign_off

The unit suite is 15 tests, 15 passing, 0 failing (node --test, node v22), covering the snapshot rule, the na-is-not-pass rule and the sign-off freeze; adversarial, concurrency, paths and contract suites sit alongside it.

Install it in Cline

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

ScopePath
Cline CLI~/.cline/mcp.json
The editor extensionopened from the Cline panel, not by path; the documentation deliberately calls it the MCP settings JSON used by the extension

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

The config block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purchase-requisition": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-servers/servers/purchase-requisition/dist/index.js"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

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/purchase-requisition

That writes servers/purchase-requisition/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:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purchase-requisition": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-purchase-requisition"]
    }
  }
}

No full-app restart. The MCP settings actions include restarting an unresponsive server if its tools do not appear.

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/purchase-requisition 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.

Write the transport in. Omitting type falls back to the legacy sse transport, which will not talk to this endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purchase-requisition": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/purchase-requisition",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
    }
  }
}

Cline notes worth knowing first

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: Three requisitions, and unlimited runs of them on every tier, because capping the running of a requisition would cap the only thing a requisition is for. Deleting a requisition frees its slot and every run stays readable. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.

Questions

Where does the config live?

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.

The hosted endpoint will not connect.

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.

Should I auto-approve MCP Purchase Requisition's tools?

Approve the read-only ones and leave the writing ones behind a click: each entry carries an autoApprove array and a disabled flag.
