```

## Tool Examples

### List Invoices

```typescript
// List all invoices
wave_list_invoices({ businessId: "business_123" })

// Filter by status
wave_list_invoices({ 
  businessId: "business_123",
  status: "OVERDUE"
})

// Filter by customer
wave_list_invoices({
  businessId: "business_123", 
  customerId: "customer_456"
})
```

### Create Invoice

```typescript
wave_create_invoice({
  businessId: "business_123",
  customerId: "customer_456",
  invoiceDate: "2025-01-15",
  dueDate: "2025-02-15",
  title: "January Services",
  items: [
    {
      description: "Consulting Services",
      quantity: 10,
      unitPrice: "150.00",
      taxIds: ["tax_789"]
    },
    {
      productId: "product_101",
      description: "Software License",
      quantity: 1,
      unitPrice: "500.00"
    }
  ]
})
```

### Create Customer

  addressLine1: "123 Main Street",
  city: "San Francisco",
  provinceCode: "CA",
  countryCode: "US",
  postalCode: "94105"
})
```

```typescript
// Profit & Loss
wave_profit_and_loss({
  businessId: "business_123",
  startDate: "2025-01-01",
  endDate: "2025-01-31"
})

wave_balance_sheet({
  businessId: "business_123",

  businessId: "business_123",
  asOfDate: "2025-01-31"
})
```

## API Architecture

### GraphQL-Based

Wave uses a GraphQL API, not REST. The server handles:

- **Authentication**: OAuth2 Bearer token
- **Error Handling**: GraphQL error parsing and network error detection
- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript types for all Wave entities
- **Pagination**: Automatic page handling for large result sets

### Client Implementation

```typescript
// client.ts
import { GraphQLClient } from 'graphql-request';

const client = new GraphQLClient('https://gql.waveapps.com/graphql/public', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`
  }
});
```

## Tool Organization

```
src/tools/
ā”œā”€ā”€ invoices-tools.ts      # 10 tools for invoice management
ā”œā”€ā”€ customers-tools.ts     # 6 tools for customer management
ā”œā”€ā”€ products-tools.ts      # 5 tools for product/service catalog
ā”œā”€ā”€ accounts-tools.ts      # 4 tools for chart of accounts
ā”œā”€ā”€ transactions-tools.ts  # 6 tools for transaction management
ā”œā”€ā”€ bills-tools.ts         # 7 tools for bills payable
ā”œā”€ā”€ estimates-tools.ts     # 6 tools for estimates/quotes
ā”œā”€ā”€ taxes-tools.ts         # 3 tools for sales tax management
ā”œā”€ā”€ businesses-tools.ts    # 3 tools for business info
└── reporting-tools.ts     # 5 tools for financial reports
```

## Type System

Complete TypeScript types for all Wave entities:

```typescript
// types/index.ts
export interface Invoice {
  id: string;
  invoiceNumber: string;
  customer: Customer;
  status: 'DRAFT' | 'SENT' | 'VIEWED' | 'PAID' | 'PARTIAL' | 'OVERDUE' | 'APPROVED';
  items: InvoiceItem[];
  total: Money;
  amountDue: Money;
  amountPaid: Money;
  // ... full type definitions
}
```

## Error Handling

The server provides comprehensive error handling:

```typescript
try {
  const invoice = await wave_get_invoice({ invoiceId: "inv_123" });
} catch (error) {
  // GraphQL errors
  if (error.graphQLErrors) {
    console.error('GraphQL errors:', error.graphQLErrors);
  }
  
  // Network errors
  if (error.networkError) {
    console.error('Network error:', error.networkError);
  }
  
  // HTTP status codes
  if (error.statusCode) {
    console.error('HTTP status:', error.statusCode);
  }
}
```

## MCP Apps

Apps are accessed via resources:

```typescript
// List all apps
const apps = await readResource({ uri: "wave://apps" });

// Load specific app
const invoiceDashboard = await readResource({ 
  uri: "wave://apps/invoice-dashboard" 
});
```

Each app includes:
- **Display name and description**
- **Default tools** to load
- **Layout configuration** for UI rendering
- **Workflow steps** (for process-driven apps)

## Development
