## Description
Cross-border debt collection: check case status, read partner messages, get pricing, and submit collection cases handled by vetted local partners in 183 countries.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **ping** — Test the connection — "✓ Connected as {your company}"
- **list_cases** — List your collection cases (paging, status filter, sorting)
- **get_case** — Fetch one case by ID, your own reference, or Debitura case reference
- **get_case_activity** — Case timeline — what has happened so far (returns `{ items, currentEngagementPhase }`)
- **get_case_messages** — Read the chat with the collection partner
- **get_case_payments** — Money recovered on a case
- **get_case_contract_status** — Which contracts are signed / blocking a case
- **get_case_tasks** — Open tasks (action-items) for one case
- **list_case_files** — List documents attached to a case, with time-limited download URLs
- **get_account_summary** — Case counts per lifecycle stage — a quick portfolio overview
- **list_tasks** — Every open task (action-item) across your account, with solutionUrl + resolving action
- **preview_case** — Pricing + eligibility dry-run before submitting (nothing persisted)
- **list_team_members** — Your team — used to attribute messages and assign case owners
- **create_case** — Submit a collection case. Safety-wrapped: preview first → explicit user confirmation → idempotent submit (auto `Idempotency-Key`, safe retries, no duplicate cases)
- **upload_case_file** — Attach documents to a case (invoice copies, contracts — max 25 MB)
- **send_case_message** — Message the collection partner on a case, attributed to a named team member

Every tool carries proper MCP annotations (`readOnlyHint` / `destructiveHint`), and `create_case`
never auto-fires — it is a legal/financial action and always requires explicit human confirmation.

## Distribution

Debitura runs this MCP server as a **hosted service** at `https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp`. That is the
only supported way to use it — point any MCP client at the endpoint and authenticate with your
Debitura API key (see [Install](#install) below). There is **no published npm package**: the
`@debitura/mcp-server` package is private (`"private": true`) and is not distributed on the npm
registry. The source is published so you can audit it and, if you wish, run your own copy (see
[Self-hosting / development](#self-hosting--development)) — but normal usage is the hosted endpoint.

## Install

### Claude (web / desktop)

Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector** → URL `https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp`.

Anthropic is rolling out a **Request headers** option in that same dialog that lets you
authenticate without OAuth — but it's a gated beta (Anthropic: "contact us for early
access"), so most accounts won't see it yet. If you do see it, add header `x-api-key`
with your Debitura API key as the value. If you don't, use Claude Code or the Claude
Desktop config-file method below instead — both work today regardless of beta access.

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http debitura https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp --header "XApiKey: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Claude Desktop (no beta access to Request headers)

Bypass the Connectors UI entirely by editing `claude_desktop_config.json` directly — a
separate mechanism from the web-synced Connectors UI, no OAuth involved — using the
[`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote) bridge:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "debitura": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp", "--header", "XApiKey:${DEBITURA_KEY}"],
      "env": { "DEBITURA_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

File location: macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`,
Windows `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`. Restart Claude Desktop after
saving — the server appears under Settings → Connectors → Manage connectors, even
though you never touched "Add custom connector".

### Cursor

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "debitura": {
      "url": "https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "XApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"debitura","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.debitura.com/mcp","headers":{"XApiKey":"YOUR_API_KEY"}}'
```

### Verify

Ask your assistant: _"Ping Debitura"_ → you should see `✓ Connected as {your company}`.

## Example prompts

- _"What's the status of my Debitura cases? Anything that needs my attention?"_
- _"What would it cost to collect a €12,000 B2B debt in Germany?"_
- _"Any new messages from collection partners this week?"_
- _"Submit a collection case against Acme GmbH in Berlin for invoice 2026-014, €8,400, due 1 March."_

## Security

- **Authentication & tenancy.** The `XApiKey` header IS the tenant boundary. The server is
  **stateless** — each request creates a fresh MCP server bound to the caller's API key, which is
  passed straight through to the Debitura Customer API. No keys or case data are stored.
- **Rate limiting** is handled at the **Cloudflare edge** (WAF / rate rules) that fronts
  `mcp.debitura.com`, not in-app. Note that some tools fan out to multiple Customer-API calls per
  invocation (e.g. `get_account_summary` queries one count per lifecycle stage), which the edge
  limits account for.
- **Vulnerability reports:** see [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md).

## Self-hosting / development

The supported way to use Debitura's MCP is the hosted endpoint above. The steps below are for
**local development / auditing** of this repository only.

```bash
npm install
npm run dev          # starts on :3000, POST /mcp
```

| Env var                 | Default                             | Purpose                                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PORT`                  | `3000`                              | Listen port                                                               |
| `DEBITURA_API_BASE_URL` | `https://customer-api.debitura.com` | Point at `https://testcustomer-api.debitura.com` for the test environment |

See [`.env.example`](./.env.example) for a starter env file.

```bash
npm run build && npm start        # production-style local run
docker build -t debitura-mcp . && docker run -p 3000:3000 debitura-mcp
```

> **Deployment note:** the hosted service deploys the built app as a **zip to Azure App Service**
> (see `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`) — it does **not** run the Docker image in production. The
> `Dockerfile` is provided for local/self-hosted use.

### E2E tests

Runs every tool against the test environment (creates only tagged `isTest` cases and deletes them):

```bash
DEBITURA_API_BASE_URL=https://testcustomer-api.debitura.com npm run dev   # terminal 1
DEBITURA_TEST_API_KEY=<test key> MCP_URL=http://localhost:3000/mcp npx tsx scripts/e2e.ts
```

### Regenerating API types

Types and the HTTP client are generated from the Customer API's OpenAPI spec
(`openapi/customer-api.json`) via `openapi-typescript` — the curated 16-tool layer on top is
hand-written:

```bash
npm run fetch:spec   # pull latest spec + regenerate src/generated/customer-api.d.ts
```

### Releasing a new version

The version lives in **`package.json`** (`config.ts` and `client.ts` derive from it). When bumping
it, also update **`server.json`** — its `version` field is independent and must match the published
registry listing. (`smithery.yaml` has no version field; Smithery picks up the package version
automatically.)

When **adding or removing a tool**, also update the tool catalog above and the `tools/list`
assertion in `scripts/e2e.ts` (it asserts the exact registered tool set).
