Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEInvoiceBloom MCP server
Create, send and track invoices from Claude, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client.
InvoiceBloom is a free invoicing app for freelancers and small businesses. Its MCP server is hosted: there is nothing to install or run. Point your client at the endpoint with an API token and start invoicing.
- Endpoint:
https://invoicebloom.io/mcp(Streamable HTTP, stateless) - Auth: bearer API token, minted at Settings › Security (free account)
- Docs: https://invoicebloom.io/developers
- REST API:
https://invoicebloom.io/api/v1with the same token
Quick start
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http invoicebloom https://invoicebloom.io/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ib_YOUR_TOKEN"
Cursor, Windsurf and other HTTP-capable clients
{
"mcpServers": {
"invoicebloom": {
"url": "https://invoicebloom.io/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ib_YOUR_TOKEN" }
}
}
}
Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote)
{
"mcpServers": {
"invoicebloom": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://invoicebloom.io/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer ib_YOUR_TOKEN"]
}
}
}
Then ask things like "Invoice Acme for 12 hours of consulting at $150 and send it" or "Which invoices are overdue?".
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_account | Your business details, email-confirmation and payment status |
list_clients / create_client / update_client | Find or add the people you invoice |
list_invoices / get_invoice | Filter by status, client or overdue; full detail with line items and a shareable link |
create_invoice / update_invoice | Draft invoices with line items, tax and late fees; totals are computed server-side |
send_invoice | Emails the PDF to the client, with a Stripe payment link if connected |
mark_invoice_paid | Record a payment received outside the app |
delete_invoice | Remove an invoice |
send_invoice and delete_invoice carry MCP annotations (openWorldHint, destructiveHint) so well-behaved assistants confirm with you before calling them.
Safety and limits
- A token has the same rights as your account. Revoke it from Settings › Security the moment you think it leaked.
- 120 requests per minute per token.
- The same anti-abuse rules as the web app apply to sending: a confirmed email, at least one line item, and a daily send cap.
- Unauthenticated requests get a JSON
401.
Registry metadata
server.json follows the official MCP Registry schema for remote servers.

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.
