# EZ@Work MCP Server
Connect [EZ@Work](https://www.ezatwork.com) — all-in-one business management
for freelancers, lawyers, agencies, and service businesses — to Claude, Gemini,
Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI.
## Tools (v1)
| Tool | Description | Type |
|------|-------------|------|
| `list_clients` | List your clients/customers | Read |
| `list_projects` | List your projects/cases/work orders | Read |
| `log_time_entry` | Log billable hours to a project | Write |
| `create_invoice` | Create a draft invoice (auto currency/language/VAT) | Write |
## Setup
### Claude Desktop / Claude.ai (OAuth — recommended)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
- URL: `https://mcp.ezatwork.com/mcp`
- Authentication: OAuth (automatic)
### Claude Code / Cursor / MCP Inspector (API token)
1. Create a free EZ@Work account at https://app.ezatwork.com
2. Generate an API token at https://app.ezatwork.com/settings/api-tokens
3. Connect to `https://mcp.ezatwork.com/mcp` with header `Authorization: Bearer ezw_pat_...`
**Local testing with MCP Inspector:**
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
```
Connect to `http://localhost:8080/mcp` with header `Authorization: Bearer ezw_pat_...`
## Security
- Your data stays in your EZ@Work account
- OAuth mode: Google identity → EZ@Work account lookup; no credentials stored in the MCP
- API token mode: scoped permissions — grant only what you need; mandatory expiration
- Authorization is verified on every request
## Privacy Policy

## Universal Design
EZ@Work adapts to your business type: a lawyer sees "cases," a freelancer sees
"projects," a service business sees "work orders." Currency, language (24 supported),
and tax rules auto-detect from your profile — no configuration needed in the MCP.

## Development
### Run locally
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: EZ_API_BASE=http://localhost:5000 for local backend
python -m ezatwork_mcp.server
# Server starts at http://localhost:8080/mcp
```
### Run tests
```bash
pip install pytest pytest-asyncio
pytest tests/
```
### Docker
```bash
docker build -t ezatwork-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e EZ_API_BASE=https://api.ezatwork.com ezatwork-mcp
```
### Deploy to Cloud Run
```bash
gcloud run deploy ezatwork-mcp \
--source . \
--region europe-west1 \
--project ezatwork-production \
--allow-unauthenticated \
--port 8080 \
--update-env-vars "EZ_API_BASE=https://api.ezatwork.com,MCP_BASE_URL=https://mcp.ezatwork.com" \
--update-secrets "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=ezmcp-google-client-id:latest" \
--update-secrets "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=ezmcp-google-client-secret:latest" \
--update-secrets "EZ_MCP_MASTER_TOKEN=ezmcp-master-token:latest"
```
> `--allow-unauthenticated` is correct — auth is enforced at the MCP layer (OAuth or API token),
> not at the Cloud Run IAM level.
### Technical notes
- **Transport:** Streamable HTTP (`/mcp` endpoint)
- **Library:** `fastmcp 3.3.1`
- **Auth (OAuth):** `GoogleProvider` from `fastmcp.server.auth.providers.google`
- **Auth (token):** `get_http_headers()` from `fastmcp.server.dependencies`
- **Dual-auth:** OAuth active when `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` + `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` + `MCP_BASE_URL` are set
- **Backend:** `GET /api/users/me` for locale; `GET /api/internal/users/by-email` for OAuth→user mapping
- **Time entries:** `POST /api/timeentry` with `isBillable` field
- **Invoices:** `POST /api/invoices` with computed `dueDate` and `total` per item

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: client creation/listing, project listing, time logging, and invoice creation. There is no overlap in purpose, so an agent can easily select the right tool.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_client, list_projects, log_time_entry). The naming is predictable and uniform, with no mixed conventions.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for a small business management domain covering clients, projects, time tracking, and invoicing. Each tool serves a distinct purpose, and the count feels neither thin nor heavy.
The tools cover the core workflow from creating clients to logging time and generating invoices. Minor gaps like update/delete for clients or listing invoices exist, but agents can work around them for typical use cases.
