You need a BillingEngine key (create it on the maker’s site) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server BillingEngine for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "billingengine": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "billingengine-mcp" ], "env": { "BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY": "your-value" } } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the BillingEngine tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is BillingEngine safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 8 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

BillingEngine MCP server

Create customers and invoices, look up open invoices and record payments in BillingEngine by talking to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client:

"Create an invoice for Acme Painting over 100 euros."

"Which invoices are overdue?"

"Acme paid invoice 2610030028, record the payment."

BillingEngine is invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses with e-invoicing (EN 16931, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD / Factur-X). The server is a thin layer over the BillingEngine API and runs on your computer.

Requirements

Node.js 20 or newer
A BillingEngine account on a paid plan. The API is not available in the Free plan.
Your API key from Settings > API keys in BillingEngine

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "billingengine": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "billingengine-mcp"], "env": { "BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add billingengine --env BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y billingengine-mcp

Cursor and other clients

Use the same command, args and env as above in the MCP settings of your client.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`find_customers`	Searches customers by company, name, email or identifier of another system
`create_customer`	Creates a customer
`update_customer`	Changes a customer
`create_invoice`	Creates a draft invoice for a customer
`update_invoice`	Changes a draft invoice
`list_invoices`	Lists invoices, filtered by status, type, customer, number, identifier or date
`get_invoice`	Returns one invoice with items, tax breakdown and status
`download_invoice`	Saves the PDF or the XML e-invoice to your Downloads folder
`record_payment`	Records a payment for sent invoices
`list_payments`	Lists payments, optionally for one invoice

What it does and does not do

Invoices are created as drafts. Nothing is sent to your customers; you review and send the invoice in BillingEngine. Every result contains a link to open the draft.
Prices are net or gross, as set in your account; every invoice says which. Amounts in results are decimal strings such as "119.00". Number, language, texts, VAT treatment and payment terms come from your account settings, exactly as in the invoice form.
Nothing can be deleted through this server.
New invoices count towards the monthly invoice maximum of your plan.
The API allows 60 requests per minute per key.
Your key stays on your computer and is only sent to BillingEngine.

If a key is ever exposed, create a new one under Settings > API keys. The old key stops working immediately. The settings also show when the key was last used.

Configuration

Variable	Meaning
`BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY`	Your API key (required)
`BILLINGENGINE_URL`	Base URL, defaults to `https://www.billingengine.com`

Development

npm run build BILLINGENGINE_API_KEY=... node dist/index.js
