## What it 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.
