mcp-job-card

MCP server for job cards for trades and field service: hours and materials per job. One card per job: hours and materials logged against it, a status machine from open to invoiced, and the printed card for client sign-off.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and any Model Context Protocol client. Runs on your own machine, or hosted with no install.

Install

Hosted, nothing to install. Get a token from https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect (the connect page) or https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/token (the same token as JSON); a free anonymous one is issued on the spot and a Pro key works the same way. Then point an MCP client at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/job-card over streamable-http and send the token as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

If your client cannot set headers, put the token in the path instead: https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/job-card/t/<token>. Both forms work. The bare URL with no token answers 401 on tools/call, so the token is not optional.

Claude Desktop, one click. Download job-card.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it.

From source. The mirror is self-contained: every @theluckystrike/* dependency is vendored, so a fresh clone builds with no extra setup.

git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-job-card.git
cd mcp-job-card
npm install && npm run build

Then point your client at the built entry point:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "job-card": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-job-card/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

@theluckystrike/mcp-job-card is not published on npm yet, so an npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-job-card command will fail. The three paths above are the working ones and each is exercised by CI.

One card per job, the way the paper one on the dashboard works. Open a card for the client and the site, log the hours each worker puts in at their rate and the materials that go into the job, and the card keeps the running totals: labor, materials and the grand total, always in integer cents. Move the card along as the job moves -- open, in progress, done, invoiced, archived -- and when the client wants to see it, print the card with its signature line for sign-off. A daily or weekly summary answers where the crew's hours went and what the work is worth, per currency. Everything stays on this machine; there is no account and no network call.

npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-job-card is pending, so npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-job-card returns 404 today. Until then, a clone+build is the working path.

Install

Claude Desktop

macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "job-card": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-job-card"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add job-card -- npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-job-card

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project), same entry as Claude Desktop.

Tools

Free vs Pro

The record is never metered. Ten active cards is a real working board for a small crew, and a card stops counting the moment it is archived, so logging, totals, printing and summaries stay free for good. What Pro lifts is how many jobs are on the board at once.

Get Pro: https://mcp.zovo.one/buy/job-card -- $19 one-time for this server, or $39 for the bundle.

Money and rounding

Every amount is an integer number of cents (a cent is 1/100 of the currency unit). A labor line is hours times the hourly rate; a materials line is quantity times the unit cost; each line value is rounded half-up to the nearest cent once, at the moment it is logged, and stored on the entry. Totals are the sums of those stored line values, so a total can never drift from its lines. Hours are carried as integer hundredths and quantities as integer thousandths, so 2.5 hours at 4999 cents an hour is 12498 cents, never 12497.499999. Currencies are never added together: this server holds no exchange rate.

Privacy

All data stays local, in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/job-card/. Two files: cards.json, counter.json. Nothing is sent anywhere, there is no account, no API key and no network call in this server at all. License keys are verified offline.
