Overview
Send billing addresses, an invoice number, and line items with item quantities and unit prices. The endpoint applies discounts, calculates sales tax against the adjusted subtotal, fetches remote logos up to 2 MB, and formats amounts across 172 currencies. It returns a temporary download URL and a Unix expiration timestamp.

The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as InvoiceGeneratorSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "InvoiceGeneratorSkill",
"arguments": {
"invoiceNumber": "12345",
"from_name": "John Doe",
"from_street": "123 Main St",
"from_city": "Anytown",
"from_state": "CA",
"from_zip": "12345",
"to_name": "Jane Doe",
"to_street": "456 Elm St",
"to_city": "Othertown",
"to_state": "NY",
"to_zip": "67890",
"items": "[{\"qty\":1,\"description\":\"Web Design Services\",\"unit_price\":1000.00}]"
}
}You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about 12345 in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for InvoiceGeneratorSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.
Connecting
One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vervekit": {
"url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcpPer-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pdfName | string | fc17c4bd-e660-4078-94ae-f46be56c9006.pdf | Unique filename of generated PDF document |
expires | number | 1766096689189 | Unix timestamp when PDF link expires and is deleted |
downloadURL | string | https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve-helpers.appspot.com/htmltopdf/fc17c4bd-e660-4078-94ae-f46be56c9006.pdf?GoogleAccessId=1089020767582-compute%40developer.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1766096689&Signature=zZYB17Rj1yfbfhM3Epmjc9PEfmsVpgsCATX5%2Bx2yAo%2FV45xUatVzkAjUkPC48PkR4m%2BF7uIJBToUY2QAZMzNIOre4T0Md2eToXtcYF%2F%2FefS3sZocODRdiC%2BmEuMZjsAPMfkhbCMQZT4lZczQn9sfaWJlWJi%2FGWXKVUwZby3yn06Ed7OqianYbxQj87ENoqYudZFe5qFpI0hmwh4lBrnIM40hb4eZwwbGEvZL2WejNdBgD0cKb3C%2BHwJHkPvd2PAzFfNvuJolBxMN4jE3QCx9DN2MdHGUqb7t3vlP0Kder8m0lMpac%2BPbwZsDVmlF595cFzkKaE928uxzA1Mzkenffg%3D%3D | Temporary download URL for generated PDF invoice |
Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 20 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
