  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the invowerk MCP server?

invowerk is a hosted endpoint at https://api.invowerk.dev/mcp/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
convert_invoice ~293

Convert an e-invoice to UBL or CII. The result is checked before it is returned. Input: `invoice_base64` is the base64 of an XML invoice or a ZUGFeRD / Factur-X PDF, at most 4 MB decoded; or pass the file as a download link in `file`. `target_syntax` is "ubl" or "cii". `target_flavor` is optional, "en16931" or "xrechnung"; without it the flavor of the source is kept. Returns `xml`, `syntax`, `flavor` and `self_validation` (`valid`, `finding_count`). invowerk checks the converted XML before answering and never returns an invalid document. Input that cannot be read or converted fails with an error message. Credits: 3 per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
fileobject–The file as a download link, instead of `invoice_base64`. In ChatGPT, pass the user's uploaded file here. Other clients can set `download_url` to a public https URL.
invoice_base64––The invoice file, base64-encoded. At most 4 MB decoded.
target_flavor––Optional: "en16931" or "xrechnung". Without it the flavor of the source is kept.
target_syntaxstringyesSyntax to convert to: "ubl" or "cii".

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

explain_errors ~245

Explain rule codes in plain language. Works without an API key. Covers the codes of `validate_invoice` findings and hints: EN 16931, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and invowerk's own hint codes (IW-*). Input: `codes` is a list of one or more codes, e.g. ["BR-CO-18", "BR-DE-21"]. Duplicates are removed. `lang` is "de" (default) or "en". Returns `lang` and `explanations`. Each explanation has `title`, `meaning`, `causes`, `fixes`, `severity`, `standard`, `bt_refs`, `xpath_hints` and `explain_url` (the German page for the code). If any code is unknown, the call fails and names the unknown codes. Credits: free. This tool is not metered.

NameTypeReqDescription
codesarrayyesOne or more rule codes from validate_invoice, e.g. ["BR-CO-18", "BR-DE-21"].
langstring–Language of the explanations: "de" (default) or "en".

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

generate_invoice ~297

Create a valid EN 16931 e-invoice (UBL or CII XML) from JSON. Input: `invoice` is a JSON object keyed on EN 16931 Business Terms, the same schema as `POST /v1/generate`, at most 4 MB. Main fields: `syntax` ("ubl" default, or "cii"), `flavor` ("en16931" default, or "xrechnung", which requires `buyer_reference`, the Leitweg-ID BT-10), `invoice_number`, `issue_date` (YYYY-MM-DD), `currency`, `seller`, `buyer`, `lines`, `tax_breakdown`, `totals`. invowerk writes your amounts as given. It does not compute or correct them. Returns `xml`, `syntax`, `flavor` and `self_validation`. invowerk checks the XML before answering and never returns an invalid document. Invalid input, or XML that fails the check, returns an error, as does a busy (`engine_busy`) or overrunning (`engine_timeout`) generate. Credits: 5 per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
invoiceobjectyesThe invoice as a JSON object keyed on EN 16931 Business Terms, the schema of POST /v1/generate and of parse_invoice's `model`: syntax, flavor, invoice_number, issue_date, currency, seller, buyer, lin…

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

parse_invoice ~283

Read an existing e-invoice into JSON keyed on EN 16931 Business Terms. The JSON is the input format of `generate_invoice`, so you can edit it and create the invoice again. Input: `invoice_base64` is the base64 of an XML invoice (UBL or CII) or a ZUGFeRD / Factur-X PDF, at most 4 MB decoded; or pass the file as a download link in `file`. A PDF may have at most 500 pages and 16 attachments. Returns `model` (the invoice as JSON), `detection` (`syntax`, `flavor`, `customization_id`) and `source` ("xml" or "pdf-embedded"). A file that cannot be read fails with an error that starts with an error code, e.g. a PDF without embedded XML, a UBL credit note, malformed XML, or a busy (`engine_busy`) or overrunning (`engine_timeout`) read. Credits: 2 per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
fileobject–The file as a download link, instead of `invoice_base64`. In ChatGPT, pass the user's uploaded file here. Other clients can set `download_url` to a public https URL.
invoice_base64––The invoice file, base64-encoded. At most 4 MB decoded.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

render_invoice ~292

Render an XML e-invoice (UBL or CII, e.g. XRechnung) as a readable HTML page. invowerk uses the KoSIT XRechnung visualization. Use it to show a person what an e-invoice contains. Input: `invoice_base64` is the base64 of the XML, at most 4 MB decoded, or pass the file as a download link in `file`. PDFs are not accepted. `lang` sets the label language, "de" (default) or "en". Returns `html` (a complete HTML document), `lang`, `flavor` (e.g. "xrechnung") and `syntax` (e.g. "ubl_invoice"). A file that is not an XML invoice, malformed XML or XML with a DOCTYPE fails with an error message, and so does a busy (`engine_busy`) or overrunning (`engine_timeout`) render. Credits: 1 per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
fileobject–The file as a download link, instead of `invoice_base64`. In ChatGPT, pass the user's uploaded file here. Other clients can set `download_url` to a public https URL.
invoice_base64––The invoice file, base64-encoded. At most 4 MB decoded.
langstring–Language of the labels: "de" (default) or "en".

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

validate_invoice ~399

Check an e-invoice against EN 16931 and German rules. Input: `invoice_base64` is the base64 of an XML invoice (UBL or CII) or a ZUGFeRD / Factur-X PDF, at most 4 MB decoded; or pass the file as a download link in `file`. `explain=true` adds an explanation to findings whose rule has one, in `lang` ("de" or "en"). `valid` is the result. For XRechnung the KoSIT validator decides. If it is unreachable, invowerk's own check with the same rules decides, `verdict_source` is "local" and `official_degraded` is true. `disagreement` is true when both ran and differ. `findings` lists each problem with `rule_id`, `severity` and `message`; pass the codes to `explain_errors` (free). `pdfa_verdict` is the PDF/A check of a PDF. `hints` never change `valid`. Unreadable input returns a finding, not an error. It fails with an error when the check is busy (`engine_busy`), ran longer than 20 s (`engine_timeout`) or the XML has more than 100,000 elements (`document_too_complex`). Credits: 1 per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
explainboolean–true adds an explanation to each finding whose rule has one.
fileobject–The file as a download link, instead of `invoice_base64`. In ChatGPT, pass the user's uploaded file here. Other clients can set `download_url` to a public https URL.
invoice_base64––The invoice file, base64-encoded. At most 4 MB decoded.
langstring–Language of the explanations: "de" (default) or "en".

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
