**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.

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

```json
{
  "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`.

## Use it from

### MCP server

Streamable-HTTP endpoint: `https://api.invowerk.dev/mcp/` — the anonymous
tier works without a key; an API key raises the limits.

Claude Code:

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http invowerk https://api.invowerk.dev/mcp/
```

Claude Code: `/plugin marketplace add invowerk-dev/invowerk` then `/plugin install invowerk@invowerk` (set `INVOWERK_API_KEY` for your key).

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline / Claude Desktop:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "invowerk": {
      "url": "https://api.invowerk.dev/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
```

## API

Base URL `https://api.invowerk.dev/` — authenticate with an `X-API-Key` header;
anonymous calls work at a lower rate limit.
