Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

account

get_account_usage

Returns the current month's document usage, quota, and plan for a Slipstack API key. Requires api_key (or an Authorization: Bearer header).

api

get_api_key

Issue a free Slipstack API key (50 documents/month) for an email address, returned directly in the response — no signup flow, no email verification step. Idempotent: the same email always gets the same key back. Use the key as api_key on other tools or as an Authorization: Bearer header. Paid plans (from $19/mo for 1000 documents): https://buy.stripe.com/eVqeVcaEa9xFdnudDeew80n

document

get_document_schema

Returns the JSON shape accepted by create_invoice_pdf / create_receipt_pdf / create_einvoice_xml, a complete example payload, and current plan limits. Call this first if you are unsure how to structure a document.

einvoice

create_einvoice_xml

Generate an EN 16931 e-invoice as UN/CEFACT Cross-Industry Invoice (CII) XML — the format behind France's Factur-X and Germany's XRechnung mandates. Same JSON shape as create_invoice_pdf plus a few extra fields: from/to countryCode (required), from.vatId (required when taxRate > 0), optional paymentIban, paymentReference, buyerReference. Returns a 24-hour download URL for the XML plus computed totals. Validated against the official EN 16931 schematron in CI.

invoice

create_invoice_pdf

Generate a professional invoice PDF from structured JSON (parties, line items, tax, discount). Returns a download URL valid for 24 hours plus computed totals. No account needed for up to 10 documents/day; pass api_key or an Authorization header for plan quotas.

parse

parse_einvoice

Parse EN 16931 e-invoice XML — UN/CEFACT CII (Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung) or UBL Invoice/CreditNote (Peppol BIS) — into normalized invoice JSON: parties, line items, totals, VAT ids, payment details. Pass the XML document as a string.

receipt

create_receipt_pdf

Generate a payment receipt PDF from structured JSON. Same schema as invoices (use `number` for the receipt number). Returns a 24-hour download URL and computed totals.

Slipstack PDF — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Slipstack PDF do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_einvoice_xml, create_invoice_pdf, create_receipt_pdf, get_account_usage, get_api_key, get_document_schema and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Slipstack PDF working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 101 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Slipstack PDF as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Slipstack PDF?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Slipstack PDF need an API key?

No. Slipstack PDF completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
