An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes 7 AI-callable tools for the full Taiwan e-invoice lifecycle through the ezPay platform. Covers invoice issuance (B2B/B2C), triggering, voiding, allowances (credit notes/refunds), and querying -- all accessible to AI assistants like Claude via the standard MCP protocol.

Part of the Asgard AI Platform open-source ecosystem.

• Python 3.10 or higher
• An ezPay merchant account with API credentials (MerchantID, HashKey, HashIV)
  • Test environment: register at https://cinv.ezpay.com.tw/
  • Production environment: register at https://inv.ezpay.com.tw/

Option 1: Install from PyPI

pip install mcp-ezpay-einvoice

Or with uv:

uv pip install mcp-ezpay-einvoice

Option 2: Run directly with uvx (no install needed)

EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID=your_id EZPAY_HASH_KEY=your_key EZPAY_HASH_IV=your_iv \
  uvx mcp-ezpay-einvoice

Option 3: Install from source

git clone https://github.com/asgard-ai-platform/mcp-ezpay-einvoice.git
cd mcp-ezpay-einvoice
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e .

Set the following environment variables before running the server:

You can also copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in your values:

cp .env.example .env

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using uvx (recommended -- no manual install needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ezpay-einvoice": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ezpay-einvoice"],
      "env": {
        "EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID": "your_merchant_id",
        "EZPAY_HASH_KEY": "your_hash_key",
        "EZPAY_HASH_IV": "your_hash_iv",
        "EZPAY_IS_PRODUCTION": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using pip install:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ezpay-einvoice": {
      "command": "mcp-ezpay-einvoice",
      "env": {
        "EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID": "your_merchant_id",
        "EZPAY_HASH_KEY": "your_hash_key",
        "EZPAY_HASH_IV": "your_hash_iv",
        "EZPAY_IS_PRODUCTION": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

If you cloned the repo, the .mcp.json in the project root is auto-discovered by Claude Code. Just set the environment variables:

export EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID=your_merchant_id
export EZPAY_HASH_KEY=your_hash_key
export EZPAY_HASH_IV=your_hash_iv

Or add the server via CLI:

claude mcp add ezpay-einvoice -- uvx mcp-ezpay-einvoice

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json or equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ezpay-einvoice": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ezpay-einvoice"],
      "env": {
        "EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID": "your_merchant_id",
        "EZPAY_HASH_KEY": "your_hash_key",
        "EZPAY_HASH_IV": "your_hash_iv",
        "EZPAY_IS_PRODUCTION": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Running Directly

# With environment variables
EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID=your_id EZPAY_HASH_KEY=your_key EZPAY_HASH_IV=your_iv \
  python mcp_server.py

# Or with uvx
EZPAY_MERCHANT_ID=your_id EZPAY_HASH_KEY=your_key EZPAY_HASH_IV=your_iv \
  uvx mcp-ezpay-einvoice

Testing

# Validate credentials and connectivity
python scripts/auth/test_connection.py

# Run all 7 tool E2E tests
python tests/test_all_tools.py

Once the MCP server is running, an AI assistant (e.g. Claude) can call these tools on your behalf. Here are real-world scenarios showing what you say and how the AI responds.
