MCP Recurring Invoices in Cursor

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.

If you keep one repository per client, the retainer schedule belongs in that project's .cursor/mcp.json next to the invoice server, so the recurring part of that client's billing is scoped to that client's project.

What you get in Cursor

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.

Install it in Cursor

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

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-recurring"]
    }
  }
}

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

The npm publish of @theluckystrike/mcp-recurring 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 Recurring Invoices 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: 3 active schedules, unlimited generation, a 30 day upcoming view and a 3 month forecast. 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 Recurring Invoices pasting the config block above is the supported route.
