get_setup_instructionsShow how to configure e-arveldaja API credentials when the server is running without connections.get_server_statusReport the running e-arveldaja MCP server version, the active tool profile, and any active point-of-use release notices. Read-only; needs no credentials.import_apikey_credentialsPreview and persist apikey*.txt credentials into local/global .env. Preview-first: the default call verifies and projects the target and returns a plan_handle; call again with execute=true and that handle to persist. overwrite=false appends different credentials as another connection.list_stored_credentialsInspect credentials stored in local/global .env files.remove_stored_credentialsPreview and remove one stored credential block from a local/global .env file. Preview-first: the default call projects the removal and returns a plan_handle; call again with execute=true and that handle to delete.list_connectionsList configured e-arveldaja connections and the active index.switch_connectionSwitch active e-arveldaja connection. Clears caches; interrupted in-flight tools are blocked from further API requests.clear_cacheClear cached e-arveldaja API and reference data. Use after changing data directly in the e-arveldaja web UI, or before reports that must reflect the latest upstream state.get_session_logRetrieve mutating-operation audit log Markdown for the current connection, another audit-log label, or connection:<raw name>.list_audit_logsList available human-readable audit log files.clear_session_logClear the audit log for the current connection. DESTRUCTIVE — cannot be undone.list_clientsList clients. Paginated. Brief view by default; use view='full' or get_client for detail.- +118 more on the listing page
Gl Importer Plugin tools 19
get_accountReturns the current Synder Importer account: email, name, status, subscription, and connected-company count. Call this first to verify the IMPORTER_API_TOKEN is valid.list_companiesLists all accounting companies connected to the Importer account (QuickBooks Online via 'intuit', Xero via 'xero'). Use the returned 'id' as companyId for downstream tools.get_settingsReturns per-company import settings (dateFormat, document-number behavior, product/account auto-creation, duplicate-skip). Check dateFormat before importing — CSV date columns must match.update_settingsUpdates per-company import settings. Pass only the fields you want to change inside 'settings' (e.g. { dateFormat: 'dd/MM/yyyy' }). Fetch current values with get_settings first so you don't clobber unrelated fields. Returns the updated settings.list_entitiesLists importable entity types for a company (Invoice, Bill, JournalEntry, Customer, Vendor, etc.). Use the returned 'name' as entityName for get_fields and import tools.get_fieldsReturns the field schema for an entity in a company: every field with its type, required flag, alternativeTitles, and predefinedValues. Use to build or verify a mapping before running an import.list_mappingsLists field mappings saved for a company. Each mapping is reusable across imports of the same entity type.create_mappingCreates a new field mapping for an entity (e.g. 'Journal Entry', 'Bill', 'Invoice'). Look up valid target fields with get_fields first. Returns the created mapping including its id.update_mappingReplaces an existing mapping in full. Fetch the current mapping with list_mappings first and send the whole desired shape — this is a PUT, not a patch. Returns the updated mapping.delete_mappingDeletes a saved mapping. Irreversible. Imports that referenced this mapping keep their historical record but new imports can no longer pick it.list_importsLists recent imports for a company with status and timestamps. Use to find an importId for status / results / revert / cancel.get_import_statusReturns a single import's current status and summary (total / succeeded / failed / warnings). Status lifecycle: SCHEDULED → IN_PROGRESS → FINISHED | FINISHED_WITH_WARNINGS | FAILED | CANCELED. FINISHED can transition to REVERTING → REVERTED.- +7 more on the listing page
