Sign in to Invoice Simple in a Cloud Browser. Create a Cotlet account, open Invoice Simple in its Cloud Browser, sign in on app.invoicesimple.com and press Enable for agents.
Add the Cotlet address. Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.
Let the agent in. Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.
Invoice Simple shares the address https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with every other app you enable, so one connector covers them all. Turned Invoice Simple on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 10 tools appear.

You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.
Disable for agents, reset the browser, or change your Invoice Simple password.
Cotlet never types your password: you sign in yourself, and the agent only uses the session. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory (live results).
When Invoice Simple moves the Send button or renames an invoice status, we fix the tool and your agent calls it the same way. status.cotlet.dev checks the site, console and API every 3 minutes.
| Action | Undo |
|---|---|
| Create an invoice or estimate | Yes, edit or delete the draft |
| Convert an estimate | Yes, delete the new draft |
| Mark an invoice paid | Remove the payment in Invoice Simple |
| Send an invoice or estimate | No |
3 of 10 tools ask first: send_invoice, mark_invoice_paid, send_estimate. Draft invoices, draft estimates and conversions reach no customer, so they run at once. You can turn the wait off per tool once you trust a routine.
