Two ways to run it, both free to start. Open mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect, copy the change-order URL and paste it into any client that takes a URL. It already carries a free token, so there is nothing to install, no account and no header to set. The URL is https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/change-order/t/<token>. The token is not optional: the bare https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/change-order connects and lists its tools and then answers every tool call with HTTP 401, so use the link from /mcp/connect or send Authorization: Bearer <token>. Or download change-order.mcpb and double-click it in Claude Desktop.

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.

Install

One-click (.mcpb): download change-order.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it in Claude Desktop: https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest

Hosted, no install: point a URL-based client at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/change-order. GET https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect mints a token and prints a ready URL.

npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-change-order is pending, so the npx line below returns 404 today.

change_order_listChange orders by reference, status, client and date range, with approved and pending deltas per currency
change_order_deleteDelete an empty draft raised by mistake. Free on every tier
contract_valueThe running value of one reference: original, approved delta, current value, pending delta held apart
change_order_documentThe change order as a plain-text document for the client to approve

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.

First five minutes

One prompt that scored 3 of 3, measured in round 39, 2026-09-06. Paste it in as it is written.

We are Kestrel Electrical, a two-man electrical firm. Everything is in EUR with 23% VAT on every line. Raise a change order against our quote Q-2026-0031 for the Bright Bakery rewire. The quote was worth EUR 8,400.00 net before any changes. Two things changed on site, both agreed on 4 September 2026: we added 6 extra double sockets at EUR 45.00 each because the owner wants more counter outlets, and the downlights line changed from 12 at EUR 38.00 to 16 at EUR 35.00 because the ceiling plan grew and we agreed a lower unit price for the bigger run. Put both on the change order with those reasons and tell me what is on file.

Paste this into Claude with the server connected.

What it did, measured in round 39, 2026-09-06: Five tool calls, every argument in minor units without being told the unit, tax_rate 23 on both lines, and a changed line written as was 12 x 38.00 to 16 x 35.00 rather than as one net item.

On the free tier for this path: Five OPEN change orders, draft and sent, and 200 lines each on every tier. The cap counts the ones the client has not answered rather than the ones ever raised, so approving, rejecting or voiding one frees its slot, and change_order_delete on a draft with no lines is free on every tier, because a way back that only a Pro key can reach is not a way back. contract_value is free on every tier: the running value is the thing the change orders exist to answer, and withholding it would withhold the record. A byte-identical change order is refused BEFORE the cap is consulted, so the refusal names the id already stored rather than selling an upgrade, and burns neither a slot nor a CO number.
