Can Claude create invoices?

Yes, as a document. Claude can lay out an invoice from what you tell it, and with code execution on (the default on Free, Pro and Max) it can write it as a PDF or Word file. Projects and memory can keep your business details. What a chat does not keep is a number series that never repeats, or a record of what each client has paid. Connect the Invoice server (free token) and Claude creates invoices with the next number, saves them, records full or part payments and lists what is overdue.

Questions

Can Claude create invoices?
Yes, as a document. Claude can lay out an invoice from what you tell it, and with code execution on (the default on Free, Pro and Max) it can write it as a PDF or Word file. Projects and memory can keep your business details. What a chat does not keep is a number series that never repeats, or a record of what each client has paid. Connect the Invoice server (free token) and Claude creates invoices with the next number, saves them, records full or part payments and lists what is overdue.
Does it create invoices in QuickBooks or Xero?
No. It keeps its own invoices and numbers under your token, and it writes nothing to QuickBooks or Xero.
Do I get a PDF?
On the hosted server invoice_pdf returns a one-hour link to an HTML invoice that you print to PDF from the browser. A local install writes the PDF file.
What is free, and what does Pro add?
Three invoices a calendar month, payments and the overdue report are free, and the free invoice page carries a small credit line. Pro is $19 once for the Invoice server, or $39 once for all 49 servers. It adds unlimited invoices, your logo with no credit line, and a custom number prefix.
Is the server free?
The hosted Invoice server has a free tier. A free token lasts 30 days and allows 600 calls an hour, with no account. Some features are Pro, and the server page lists what is free and what is not.
