German e-invoices: create ZUGFeRD PDFs and XRechnung, check ZUGFeRD/Factur-X, XRechnung (KoSIT) and Peppol BIS. Free tool, API, MCP.

invowerk creates and checks e-invoices. In the browser it creates ZUGFeRD PDFs and XRechnung from a form and checks each file before download. It checks ZUGFeRD 2.5.2 and Factur-X 1.09.2 PDFs, XRechnung 3.0.2 (UBL and CII) and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21. XRechnung goes through the KoSIT validator; PDFs are also checked for PDF/A. Each check returns a report with the file's SHA-256, rule sets and result. Invoices are processed in memory, not stored. Free web tool; REST API and MCP server with 500 free credits a month.

Quickstart

Check an e-invoice in one call. The anonymous tier needs no key; add -H "X-API-Key: $INVOWERK_API_KEY" for your plan's limits.

curl -sO https://invowerk.dev/app-static/demo/beispiel-xrechnung.xml
curl -F file=@beispiel-xrechnung.xml https://api.invowerk.dev/v1/validate

{
  "valid": true,
  "verdict_source": "official",
  "official_verdict": "valid",
  "scenario": {"config": "kosit-xrechnung", "name": "EN16931 XRechnung (UBL Invoice)"},
  "detection": {"kind": "xml", "syntax": "ubl_invoice", "flavor": "xrechnung"},
  "errors": {"format": [], "business_rules": [], "carrier": []},
  "findings": [],
  "evidence": {"document_sha256": "259e3eff…", "checked_at": "2026-10-01T22:36:49Z"}
}

The same call takes a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X PDF. A failed check is still HTTP 200, with valid: false and each problem in findings.
