Perplexity

Autonomous invoice generation

Cascade uses the Hiveage tools to handle your billing cycle in the background. You tell Windsurf to bill a client for your recent commits, and it strings the actions together. It pulls the contact via `list_customers` and grabs the right line items using `list_billing_items`. You never have to leave the editor. The agent drafts the bill, verifies the amounts, and fires off the final document with `send_invoice_email`. Just review the output in your terminal window and get back to coding.

Draft estimates from project specs

When you write a statement of work in Windsurf, the MCP server turns those requirements into a financial quote. It hits `list_tax_profiles` to apply the correct local rates and structures the proposal. If a client asks for a breakdown, you just prompt your IDE. The system runs `list_estimates` to find the draft and `get_estimate_details` to pull the exact line items into your markdown file for review.

Reconcile payments in your IDE

Stop tabbing over to a browser to check if a Hiveage invoice cleared. Cascade queries `list_invoices` to find pending balances and checks `list_invoice_payments` to see what hit the bank. If a client paid via wire, you can tell Windsurf to log it. The agent executes `record_payment` with the exact JSON payload, updating your ledger while you keep working on your codebase.
