Running Multi-Step Invoicing Logic with LangChain

The `list_contacts` tool gives you a list of customer names and IDs. Your agent can then check the outstanding balances for every account before proceeding. You'll build chains that first call `list_invoices` to see what's overdue, then use `get_contact` to pull details on who owes the money. The output from one tool feeds directly into the next step of your reasoning pipeline.

Managing Zoho Invoice Data Flow with LangChain

Use `create_invoice` to automatically draft a new invoice for a customer, which requires both the `customer_id` and at least one line item. Your agent can generate this draft after retrieving product details first. If you need to update client information before billing, just call `create_contact`. This ensures every subsequent action uses current data, keeping your entire workflow contained within a single chain.

Tracking Financial Records with the MCP Server and LangChain

The `list_expenses` tool gathers expense dates, amounts, and vendors associated with projects. This lets your agent build a clear picture of costs before generating quotes. You can combine this by first calling `list_estimates` to see available quote statuses, then pulling specific expenses for the final cost calculation that goes into a new draft invoice.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Invoice MCP in LangChain

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

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Zoho Invoice 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
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "zoho-invoice-alternative-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Zoho Invoice transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
