## What it does

The plugin connects Claude Code to Norman over a remote MCP server hosted at `https://mcp.norman.finance/mcp`. It handles day-to-day bookkeeping, customer invoicing, and bank transaction reconciliation. German workflows support ZUGFeRD invoices, cancellation documents (`Stornorechnung`), and delivery notes (`Lieferschein`).

For German companies, Norman handles SKR03 and SKR04 chart of accounts, VAT calculations, and DATEV EXTF ledger exports. Polish entities get KPiR and JPK register reviews. Polish tax returns cannot be filed through MCP at all. German tax filings require explicit confirmation before submission, preventing accidental filings from the terminal.

A Norman account is mandatory. The setup relies on OAuth 2.1 authentication to access company records. If you manage multiple legal entities, use `list_companies` and `switch_company` to set the active accounting context.
