scribo — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Scribo lets an MCP client create structured invoices from plain-language requests and returns a downloadable file. It covers EN 16931 formats and US PDF invoices.
claude mcp add --transport http scribo https://scribo.causaprima.ai/mcpWhat scribo does
Scribo connects an AI assistant to a hosted MCP endpoint for invoice creation. Describe the seller, buyer, and line items in everyday language; the server gathers missing details and returns a download link. Supported outputs include XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, Peppol BIS, Facturae, and plain US PDF.
Its tools are create_invoice, verify_email_code, get_invoice, and list_supported_jurisdictions. They cover generating an invoice, confirming the sender email, retrieving an existing invoice, and checking available jurisdictions and formats. EN 16931 invoices include a PDF with embedded XML.
The service uses Streamable HTTP and runs remotely, so there is no local process to start. The first invoice needs the sender’s email and a 6-digit code delivered by email, then confirmed through verify_email_code. That email check is part of the setup.
What it helps with
- draft an invoice from a service description
- produce a XRechnung or ZUGFeRD invoice
- return a PDF with embedded XML
- retrieve a fresh link for an existing invoice
- list supported countries and formats
