Read https://lotsinvoice.com/skill.md and help me connect LotsInvoice for you.What nanoclaw can do with LotsInvoice
Once connected, nanoclaw can:
- Draft invoices, estimates and credit notes for your customers, with the totals worked out for you.
- Turn an estimate into an invoice, and repeat an invoice on a schedule, such as a monthly retainer.
- Email an invoice or a payment reminder to your customer when you tell it to.
- See who owes you and how late each invoice is, and record the payments you receive.
- Add customers and saved items, and set up your taxes and payment options from the details you give it.
- Pull revenue, tax and payment reports and customer statements for your accountant.
The LotsInvoice dashboard does the whole job on its own: invoices, estimates, customers, payments, reminders and reports. Every invoice your agent drafts shows up there, where you can check the PDF preview before you send it.
You need
- A current nanoclaw installation with remote HTTP MCP support
- Administrator access to its group configuration and credential gateway
- A LotsInvoice API key
- A LotsInvoice account. You can create one during sign-in.
Connect nanoclaw to LotsInvoice
Add the server to your agent’s group
On the host, merge this entry into mcpServers in groups/<group-folder>/container.json. Keep the group’s existing configuration. nanoclaw mounts this file into the agent container at startup.
{ "mcpServers": { "lots-invoice": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.lotsinvoice.com/mcp" } } }Configure the credential gateway
Create a LotsInvoice API key at https://www.lotstech.com/api. Store it in your installation’s credential gateway, scoped to api.lotsinvoice.com, and configure the Authorization header as Bearer followed by the key. Allow the agent’s group to use that connection; keep the real key out of container.json.
Start a new agent session
Restart the affected agent session so it loads the server. Ask nanoclaw “Show me what needs attention in my LotsInvoice business” before changing anything.
What to ask next
- “Draft an invoice for Acme Design for 12 hours of design work, due in 15 days. Show me the total first.”
- “Which invoices are overdue? Show me a friendly reminder for each one before you send anything.”
- “Turn the estimate for Northwind into an invoice and set it to repeat on the 1st of every month.”
- “Record a bank transfer from Northwind against their open invoice.”
If something goes wrong
- The server is configured but requests are blocked
- Check your credential gateway’s connection, group grant and network policy for api.lotsinvoice.com. The remote MCP entry alone does not authorize network access or supply credentials.

nanoclaw and LotsInvoice: questions
How do I connect nanoclaw to LotsInvoice?
Follow the nanoclaw setup above to add https://api.lotsinvoice.com/mcp. Configure your LotsInvoice API key using the credential settings shown. Then ask “Show me what needs attention in my LotsInvoice business”.
Is nanoclaw the same installation as OpenClaw?
No. They are separate projects and runtimes. Follow nanoclaw’s group configuration and credential-gateway steps above; OpenClaw has its own MCP setup.
Do I need an API key to use LotsInvoice with nanoclaw?
Yes. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where nanoclaw offers sign-in, use that instead.
What does LotsInvoice cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lotsinvoice.com/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Will my agent email my customers without asking me?
Every invoice starts as a draft, and nothing reaches your customer until it is sent. Sending is its own step, and the LotsInvoice tools and skill tell your agent to show you the totals and ask before it sends. You can also open the draft in your dashboard first.
Does LotsInvoice take or move money through my agent?
No. LotsInvoice never holds or moves your money. Your customers pay you directly with the payment options you set up, and your agent can record a payment once you have received it.
Can my agent change an invoice I already sent?
A sent invoice is locked with its number. Your agent can revise it with a reason, which keeps the number and adds a version, or void it. A paid invoice is corrected with a credit note.
Does my agent choose my tax rates?
No. It uses the taxes you have set up or the rates you give it, and it asks for anything that is missing. Check your layout and tax wording with your accountant.
The server is configured but requests are blocked
Check your credential gateway’s connection, group grant and network policy for api.lotsinvoice.com. The remote MCP entry alone does not authorize network access or supply credentials.
