BillingEngine MCP server

Create customers and invoices, look up open invoices and record payments in BillingEngine by talking to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client:

"Create an invoice for Acme Painting over 100 euros."

"Which invoices are overdue?"

"Acme paid invoice 2610030028, record the payment."

BillingEngine is invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses with e-invoicing (EN 16931, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD / Factur-X). The server is a thin layer over the BillingEngine API and runs on your computer.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or newer
  • A BillingEngine account on a paid plan. The API is not available in the Free plan.
  • Your API key from Settings > API in BillingEngine

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "billingengine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "billingengine-mcp"],
      "env": { "BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add billingengine --env BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y billingengine-mcp

Cursor and other clients

Use the same command, args and env as above in the MCP settings of your client.

What it does and does not do

  • Invoices are created as drafts. Nothing is sent to your customers; you review and send the invoice in BillingEngine. Every result contains a link to open the draft.
  • Prices are net. Number, language, texts, VAT treatment and payment terms come from your account settings, exactly as in the invoice form.
  • Nothing can be deleted through this server.
  • New invoices count towards the monthly invoice maximum of your plan.
  • The API allows 60 requests per minute per key.
  • Your key stays on your computer and is only sent to BillingEngine.

If a key is ever exposed, generate a new one under Settings > API. The old key stops working immediately. The settings also show when the key was last used.
