Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
EDI parse, validate, send, inspect, and QuickBooks tools for MCP clients.
Reliable async execution for agent tool calls: schema-gate hallucinated payloads before they run, absorb rate limits and outages with retries/backoff/circuit breakers, idempotency keys, human approval gates, encrypted credentials, replay, and signed-webhook results. Errors come back with an llmhint the agent can self-correct from. Hosted remote (api.klanexai.com/mcp, free sandbox) or npx -y klanex-mcp.

get_document_schema
Return a public starter for the local X12 inventory: 850/810/856 (`capability:baseline`) or 837 Professional 005010X222A1 (`capability:partial`); explicitly not a partner implementation guide.
generate_integration_example
Produce sandbox-safe cURL, Node.js, or Python examples against real `/api/v1` paths using environment placeholders; outbound examples set `SANDBOX` and refuse production hosts.
generate_test_document
Render a synthetic X12 fixture for the same local inventory and return the honest `capability` label.
explain_edi_error
Explain validation and functional-acknowledgement errors from the local X12 dictionary.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

execute
Submit an HTTP call for reliable async execution: optional JSON Schema gate, retries/backoff/circuit breakers, idempotency keys, human approval gates, encrypted credentials. `wait_seconds` blocks up to 55s for the terminal result.
get_execution
Current status, attempts, target response, or classified error for an execution.
list_executions
The account's executions, filterable by status/time, paginated.
replay_execution
Re-run a terminal execution byte-exact — outage recovery without re-prompting the LLM.
get_usage
Plan and current-month usage/quota.
list_connections
Stored credential connections (token vault) to reference via `connection_id` — so secrets never pass through model context.
