Zovo Work Order MCP Server

All servers · Buy Pro $19 · All 46 for $39 · Source

Two ways to run it, both free to start. Open mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect, copy the work-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/work-order/t/<token>. The token is not optional: the bare https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/work-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 work-order.mcpb and double-click it in Claude Desktop.

mcp-work-order

In the official MCP Registry (io.github.theluckystrike/work-order). Job orders for trades and field work, kept the way a job card is kept. Raise a work order against a client (the same client record your invoices use), give it a site address, the date it was asked for, what the job is and how urgent. Log what the job actually used as it goes: labour as hours at a rate, parts as a quantity at a unit cost with an optional markup. Move it along one step at a time, draft to scheduled to in progress to done to invoiced, each step stamped with its date and a note. When it is finished, hand the customer a completion report with the hours, the materials, the totals and a sign-off block, and take the invoice payload straight to invoice_create without retyping a single figure.

Nothing is invented and nothing is stored twice: the value, the hours, the materials and the VAT are derived from the lines on every call, and the invoice payload's unit prices are already the billed units, so the invoice reproduces the work order to the minor unit.

npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-work-order is pending, so npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-work-order returns 404 today. Until then, the .mcpb one-click bundle or a clone+build is the working path.

Tools

Tool	What it does
work_order_create	Raise a job order and return its WO-YYYY-NNNN number: client, site address, requested date, description, priority
work_order_add_line	Add one line: parts with a quantity and a unit cost in minor units and an optional markup percent, or labour with hours and an hourly rate
work_order_status	Move it one step: draft, scheduled, in_progress, done, invoiced, stamping the date and a note
work_order_get	One work order in full: every line with its billed unit, the hours, the materials, net and VAT, and the status history
work_order_list	List work orders by status, by client and by requested-date range
work_order_delete	Delete a work order raised by mistake. Draft with no lines only. Free on every tier
completion_report_text	The completion report as plain text, ready to paste into an email
completion_report_pdf	The completion report as an A4 PDF, with the sign-off block
work_order_invoice_payload	An invoice_create -ready payload from the lines, with VAT at the shared profile rate
work_orders_report	The whole board: work orders per status, hours logged this month, unbilled value per currency
license_status / license_activate	Free or Pro, and where to upgrade

Free vs Pro

	Free	Pro
Open work orders	5	unlimited
Lines per work order	200	200
Raise, log, move, list, delete	yes	yes
Completion report (text)	yes	yes
Completion report (PDF)	no	yes
Invoice payload	no	yes
Board report	no	yes

The cap counts OPEN work orders (draft, scheduled, in progress), not the ones you have ever raised, so finishing a job frees its slot. So does work_order_delete on a draft that has no lines, which is free on every tier: a way back that only a Pro key can reach is not a way back.

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 A4 renderer from @theluckystrike/mcp-billing-docs/lib, the corrupt-store quarantine from @theluckystrike/mcp-timezone/lib. The VAT rate, the currency and the business name come from the shared business profile that business_set in the invoice server writes; the client comes from that server's client records. Nothing is written outside this server's own directory.

The measured insight

A markup belongs on the unit cost, not on the line total, and one minor unit is what says so. Seven parts at EUR 12.99 with 15 percent on top is EUR 14.94 a unit and EUR 104.58 on the line. Marking up the line total instead is round(9093 * 1.15) = 10,457 minor units, a cent less. Both look like the same sum, and only one of them is the figure the customer will be billed: the invoice server rounds the unit price to the minor unit first and multiplies (its D-R24 basis), so a work order that quotes the line-total figure quotes a number its own invoice cannot reproduce. The gap appears on every line whose marked-up unit does not land on a whole cent, it never nets out across lines because it is a rounding direction and not an error, and it is invisible in a spreadsheet check because both bases add up correctly. The unit suite asserts the 1-unit gap explicitly, so a change of basis fails the build instead of quietly re-pricing every job on the board.

Privacy

All data stays on your machine, in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/work-order/. Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account and no API key. License keys are verified offline. This server reads one sibling file, the invoice server's clients.json, and writes into no store but its own.

First five minutes

Three prompts that scored 3 of 3, measured in round 36, 2026-09-06. Paste one in as it is written.

Log what the job used. Two labour entries at 85.00 an hour: 3.5 hours on 8 March and 1.25 hours the same day. Parts: seven thermostats at 12.99 each with 15 percent markup, and two fan motors at 45.00 each with no markup.

Paste this into Claude with the server connected.

What it did, measured in round 36, 2026-09-06: The clarifying question here is the correct behaviour, not a defect -- it is the direct, honest consequence of wo1's own date substitution, and once given the date it converted units and computed the billed price without being told the arithmetic.

What is that job worth so far? Break out the hours, the labour, the materials and the VAT, and show me what we are actually charging per thermostat.

What it did, measured in round 36, 2026-09-06: Unlike round 35, this round's VAT is real rather than zero, because the recipe requires business_set on the same token first.

Give me the invoice payload so I can raise the invoice, and the board report so I can see what else is open.

What it did, measured in round 36, 2026-09-06: Matches round 35's finding: on a free-tier Pro refusal, the model rebuilt nothing, repeated only what free tools had already printed, and named what it could not construct.

On the free tier for this path: Five OPEN work orders, which is a one-van trade, and 200 lines each on every tier. The cap counts open jobs (draft, scheduled, in progress) rather than jobs ever raised, so finishing one frees its slot, and work_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. The text completion report is free: handing the customer what was done is the thing the job was for. A byte-identical work 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 WO number.
