How to Use the InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) MCP in LangChain

Q: How do I handle missing NIFs when using InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) with LangChain?

The createclient tool automatically falls back to a Consumer profile when your LangChain agent encounters a missing NIF. This prevents your sequential billing chains from breaking when dealing with walk-in customers.

Q: Can a LangChain ReAct agent verify VAT rates before calling the InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) tool?

Yes, your agent first queries listtaxes to fetch active Portuguese VAT codes. It then passes the matching tax ID straight to createitem to build a compliant billing record.

Q: How do I initialize this MCP Server in my project?

Install the adapter using pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph. Then, initialize MultiServerMCPClient with the server URL and call client.gettools() to feed them to your agent.

Run self-correcting Portuguese billing pipelines using LangChain to manage your entire InvoiceXpress workflow.

Sequential billing chains with LangChain and MCP Server

The `create_item` tool requires a valid legal tax ID from your active Portuguese configuration before you can bill a service. Your LangChain agent handles this by first calling `list_taxes` to find the exact VAT rate, passing that ID directly to the item creation schema. This chain prevents API failures by making sure no item is generated blindly. By linking these steps, your pipeline guarantees tax compliance on every draft without manual verification.

Self-correcting client setups

The `create_client` tool registers new customers with full tax details, automatically defaulting to Consumer if a NIF isn't provided. LangChain ReAct agents evaluate the customer profile, search for duplicates with `find_client`, and choose the correct registration path using this MCP tool. If details change later, the agent fires `update_client` to patch only the modified fields. This keeps your Portuguese customer database accurate without overwriting existing, valid tax identifiers.

Visualizing tax compliance via LangSmith

The `list_invoices` tool retrieves your complete billing history through our MCP Server, which you can trace step-by-step inside LangSmith. You see exactly how your agent queries `list_sequences` to select the active billing series before generating a document. Tracing these tool calls exposes latency bottlenecks and token costs immediately. You gain a clear audit trail of every Portuguese tax authority interaction without writing custom logging wrapper code.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes InvoiceXpress (Online Invoicing) tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
