change-order

mcp-change-order

In the official MCP Registry (io.github.theluckystrike/change-order). Change orders against a quote or a work order, kept the way a variation is kept on site: what was added, what was taken out and what changed, each with a reason and a date, sent to the client, and answered. The running contract value is the original plus the deltas the client has APPROVED; what they have not answered yet is shown as pending and never added in. Once a change order is approved, the delta comes back as invoice_create-ready items in MAJOR units and quote_create-ready items in MINOR units, in one call, with the scale printed against each.

No delta is stored. A change order holds its lines and its status history; the delta, the running value and the VAT are derived on every call, with the invoice server's own arithmetic. Nothing is invented: the first change order against a reference states the original contract value once, every later one inherits it, and a different figure is refused by name.

Tools

Tool	What it does
change_order_create	Raise a change order against a quote or work order: reference, client, title, date, and the original contract value on the first one
change_order_add_line	Add an added, removed or changed line to a draft, with its quantity, unit price in minor units, reason and date
change_order_status	Move it along: draft to sent, sent to approved or rejected, draft or sent to void, each step dated
change_order_get	One change order in full: every line with its delta, the VAT, the history and the running value of the reference
change_order_list	Change orders by reference, status, client and date range, with approved and pending deltas per currency
change_order_delete	Delete an empty draft raised by mistake. Free on every tier
contract_value	The running value of one reference: original, approved delta, current value, pending delta held apart
change_order_document	The change order as a plain-text document for the client to approve
change_order_invoice_payload	The approved delta as invoice_create items (MAJOR units) and quote_create items (MINOR units)
license_status / license_activate	Free or Pro, and where to upgrade

Free vs Pro

	Free	Pro
Open change orders (draft and sent)	5	unlimited
Lines per change order	200	200
Raise, line, move, get, list, delete	yes	yes
Running contract value	yes	yes
Change order document	no	yes
Invoice-ready delta payload, both scales	no	yes

The cap counts OPEN change orders, the ones the client has not answered, not the ones you have ever raised. Approving, rejecting or voiding one frees its slot, and so does change_order_delete on a draft with no lines; all of those are free on every tier, because a way back that only a Pro key can reach is not a way back.

The status machine

draft to sent; sent to approved or rejected; draft or sent to void. Approved, rejected and void are final. A draft cannot be approved directly: approval is the client's answer to something they were sent. Lines are added only while a change order is a draft; a sent one that needs another line is voided and raised again, so the client's approval always refers to what they were sent. Every step carries its own date, and a step dated before the last one is refused.

Where the money comes from

This server keeps no arithmetic of its own. computeTotals, currencyDecimals, formatMoney and roundHalfUp are imported from @theluckystrike/mcp-invoice/lib, the corrupt-store quarantine from @theluckystrike/mcp-timezone/lib, the timezone-aware "today" from @theluckystrike/mcp-quotes/lib. The VAT rate, the currency and the business name come from the shared business profile that business_set in the invoice server writes. Nothing is written outside this server's own directory, and no sibling store is opened.

The measured insight

A changed line is two items, not one, because one net item shows the customer nothing they can check. A line that goes from 3 x EUR 450.00 to 5 x EUR 420.00 is worth +EUR 750.00, and the tempting payload is one item of quantity 1 at EUR 750.00. The customer cannot reproduce that figure from anything on the change order they signed. The payload this server emits is a reversal, -3 x EUR 450.00, and the revised line, 5 x EUR 420.00; each reproduces on a calculator, and computeTotals over both is the same +EUR 750.00, because the invoice server's roundHalfUp is symmetric in sign. The same rule carries a removal as a negative quantity at the unit price it was booked at, which invoice_create accepts. The unit suite re-runs the invoice server's own computeTotals over the payload as returned and asserts the four item values and the three totals, then feeds the quote_create items into the same engine as though their MINOR figure were MAJOR and asserts the net is exactly 100x, so the day someone "simplifies" the payload to one net item, or moves a field between the two scales, the build says so instead of the customer.

Privacy

All data stays on your machine, in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/change-order/. Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account and no API key. License keys are verified offline. This server reads one file it does not own, the shared business profile, and writes into no store but its own.
