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.

Tool call
{
  "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"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

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.

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.

StatusWhat it means
400 / 422The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
401The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
403Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
404This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
429Out 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.
