Details
From the project READMEHoldings — MCP server
Software your AI can run. Let Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor send invoices and take payment — card or ACH. You approve every send. No monthly fee.
Tell the AI you already use who to bill and how much: it drafts the invoice, shows you a preview, and sends it the moment you confirm. Your client gets a payment link; you get paid by card or ACH, and you're told when the money lands. Quotes, clients, and recurring invoices included.
Get a key
Create a free key in your Holdings workspace → Settings → API keys. No monthly fee.
Connect
Pick whichever fits your client. All three use the same free key.
1. Local (npm / stdio) — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf
{
"mcpServers": {
"holdings": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@getholdings/mcp"],
"env": { "HOLDINGS_API_KEY": "hw_live_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
2. Hosted (remote / Streamable HTTP) — any client that supports remote MCP
https://mcp.getholdings.com/mcp
Authenticate with either an Authorization: Bearer <your key> header or a ?mcpKey=<your key> query parameter. Nothing to install.
3. Smithery
One-click via the registry: smithery.ai/servers/holdings/invoicing — paste your key when prompted.
Then just ask your AI: "Send Acme the December retainer — $8,400, net 30."
What you can do
- Invoices — draft, preview, send, and track; get paid by card or ACH.
- Quotes — send estimates; turn accepted quotes into invoices.
- Clients — keep the people and businesses you bill.
- Payments — see what's paid and what's outstanding.
Every action is confirmable: a draft is created first, and nothing reaches a client until an explicit send. Amounts are recomputed server-side. You stay in control.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
