invoice-intake-mcp

Reference implementation of the tool-design rules in Designing MCP servers and tools that agents can use safely, on a real back-office process: supplier invoice intake.

It is small on purpose. The fake ERP is a JSON file; everything else is the shape we use in production systems.

What it shows

RuleWhere
Model the business operation, not the APIerp_match_po, erp_stage_invoice, not PATCH /invoices
Separate reads, drafts and commits--role read server (reads + reversible staging) vs --role commit server (irreversible post)
Strict schemasLiteral enums for currency, ids not names, found=false as a valid empty result
Permissions on the server and credentialspecialist agents get read; only the orchestrator connects to commit
Tool results are untrusted inputinvoices_extract says so in its description; the eval set includes a prompt-injection case
Typed errors{"error": "approval_required" | "validation_failed" | "business_rule" | "not_found", "retryable": bool, ...}
Log for the auditoraudit.jsonl: actor, tool, ids, approval reference
Human checkpoint enforced server-sideerp_post_invoice refuses without a recorded approval, whatever the client believes

Run it

python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

python -m invoice_intake_mcp.orchestrator            # process the inbox
python -m invoice_intake_mcp.approve list            # see what is waiting
python -m invoice_intake_mcp.approve APR-xxxx approved --by cfo
python -m invoice_intake_mcp.orchestrator --resume   # post the approved item
cat audit.jsonl

Expected first run:

plan: 4 new invoices -> extract, resolve vendor, match, stage, post-or-approve
  invoice_2291.pdf: staged STG-… -> WAITING for APR-…        (7,420 EUR > 5,000 limit)
  invoice_2292.pdf: match=goods_not_received -> REVIEW
  invoice_2293.pdf: match=variance {"variance_pct": 2.34} -> REVIEW
  invoice_2294.pdf: no PO reference -> REVIEW (ask requester)

The orchestrator is deterministic so the flow replays without an API key. An LLM belongs in the places marked in orchestrator.py (ambiguous vendor candidates, free-text remarks, the note back to the requester), not in the match rule, the tolerance or the approval limit.

Use the servers from an MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "invoice-intake-read":   { "command": "uvx", "args": ["invoice-intake-mcp", "--role", "read"] },
    "invoice-intake-commit": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["invoice-intake-mcp", "--role", "commit"] }
  }
}

Give an agent only the read server unless it is the orchestrator.

Tests and evals

pytest                 # unit tests on the core operations and the gate
python evals/run.py    # replayable decision cases, run on every change
