No public API

Does Invoice Simple have an MCP server or an API? No public API, and no MCP server.

Invoice Simple has no MCP server, no ChatGPT or Claude app and no public API: we found no developer documentation or API keys, only built-in payment integrations (checked 8 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs 10 Invoice Simple tools hosted, over MCP for agents and REST for scripts, in your own Invoice Simple login.

  • Invoice Simple plans list built-in payment integrations, not an API.
  • Its page for AI assistants describes the product; it is not an integration.
  • Invoice Simple has no connector in the ChatGPT apps directory or in Claude.

How to connect Invoice Simple to your AI agent

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Add the Cotlet address. Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.

  3. 3

    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.

  • What we store

    Your signed-in Invoice Simple profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. No password.

  • What your agent gets

    The 10 Invoice Simple tools, never the session cookie.

  • What the session sees

    What your login sees: clients, invoices, estimates, payments.

  • What no tool touches

    Card charges, payment settings, subscription, deletes.

  • If Invoice Simple signs you out

    You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.

3 tools ask first

Approvals, undo and mistakes Customers get nothing until you say so.

  1. 01 Reads your job notes Client, lines, rates and due date.
  2. 02 Creates a draft With your default terms and tax.
  3. 03 Shows you the total Line by line, before anything goes out.
  4. 04 Waits, then sends The send shows up in your Cotlet console first.
Which Invoice Simple actions can be undone

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.
