Create a customer
Add a company or individual customer to your Pennylane customer list.
MCP tool pennylane_write → create_customer
write Confirm
Creates a customer and returns its customer_id for create_customer_invoice. Search with list_customers first, because this call does not check for a customer with the same name. It reaches nobody: the customer is not told. It changes your accounting data, so it asks for your OK. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

|---|---|---|
| name string required | string | Company name, or the full name of an individual. |
| type enum | enum | company or individual. Default: company. |
| email string | string | Email address the invoice is sent to. |
