MCP Quotes in Cursor

A priced, VAT-correct quote from chat, turned into an invoice with one call. It quotes a client with line items, VAT and a validity window, sends the quote as pasteable text, tracks it as open, accepted, declined or expired, and turns an accepted quote into a real invoice in the shared invoice store using the quote's own stored lines rather than recomputed prices.

The chain worth building is quote, then accept: price the work in the same chat you are about to start it in, and when the client answers, "they said yes, invoice it" is the next message rather than a context switch to a separate billing tool.

What you get in Cursor

You sayTool
Quote Acme for 12 hours at 90 EUR plus a 300 EUR setup, 23% VAT, good for 14 days.quote_create
Acme said yes. Invoice it.quote_accept
What is still open, and what is my win rate?quote_report

A quote of EUR 1,000.00 net is issued at the profile's 23% default rate, so the client sees EUR 1,230.00. The default rate is then changed to 8% before the client answers. quote_accept still invoices EUR 1,230.00, tax_lines[0].rate === 23, because it copies the quote's stored lines instead of recomputing them against today's profile.

Install it in Cursor

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

ScopePath
This project only<project>/.cursor/mcp.json
Every project~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quotes": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-quotes"]
    }
  }
}

The Customize page shows the server and its tools once it has started.

The npm publish of @theluckystrike/mcp-quotes is pending; until then use the .mcpb bundle or a clone and build from the latest release.

No install: the hosted endpoint

There is no hosted endpoint for this one yet. MCP Quotes 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.

Cursor notes worth knowing first

The current field table marks `type` as required, with `stdio` for a locally launched server, so write it out rather than relying on command and args alone. The other documented restriction is that `envFile` is stdio-only: a remote HTTP or SSE server does not read it, and its headers belong in the config.

Free: 5 open quotes at a time, unlimited quote_send_text, create/revise/accept/decline, VAT, discounts and multi-currency. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.

Questions

Project config or global config?

<project>/.cursor/mcp.json applies to that project and can be committed, which suits a server tied to one client. ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere. Both are managed from the Customize page.

Why does my stdio entry not start?

The current field table marks type as required, with stdio for a locally launched server, so include it. Pointing at a remote endpoint, envFile is documented as stdio-only and is not read.

Is there a one-click install link?

Servers in Cursor's marketplace get an Add to Cursor button. The deeplink reference currently documents prompt, command and rule links only, so for MCP Quotes pasting the config block above is the supported route.
