## What it does

Lovie exposes tools for starting a company filing, choosing an entity type and state, checking a name, adding shareholders, and paying the filing fee. It can also create and manage bank accounts and cards, move funds, and handle client records. For invoicing, the tools can create or send invoices and produce PDFs; transaction tools can filter records and assign categories.

The `lovie` package acts as a local link between an MCP client and Lovie’s remote service. It sends tool requests over HTTPS and returns results through stdio. You need Node.js 18+ and a Lovie account. Install the package with `npm install -g lovie`, then authenticate with `lovie login`; without a Lovie account, that sign-in step cannot be completed.

In Claude Code, you can connect to the hosted MCP endpoint or run the package through `npx`. The Lovie service handles the business operations, while the package forwards requests. Available tools also cover external bank connections through Plaid, session management and profile updates.
