mcp-change-order
Change orders against a quote or a work order, kept the way a variation is kept on site:what was added, what was taken out and what changed, each with a reason and a date, sent tothe client, and answered. The running contract value is the original plus the deltas theclient has APPROVED; what they have not answered yet is shown as pending and never added in.Once a change order is approved, the delta comes back as invoice_create-ready items inMAJOR units and quote_create-ready items in MINOR units, in one call, with the scaleprinted against each.
No delta is stored. A change order holds its lines and its status history; the delta, therunning value and the VAT are derived on every call, with the invoice server's ownarithmetic. Nothing is invented: the first change order against a reference states theoriginal contract value once, every later one inherits it, and a different figure isrefused by name.

The cap counts OPEN change orders, the ones the client has not answered, not the ones youhave ever raised. Approving, rejecting or voiding one frees its slot, and so doeschange_order_delete on a draft with no lines; all of those are free on every tier, becausea way back that only a Pro key can reach is not a way back.

The status machine
draft to sent; sent to approved or rejected; draft or sent to void.Approved, rejected and void are final. A draft cannot be approved directly: approval is theclient's answer to something they were sent. Lines are added only while a change order is adraft; a sent one that needs another line is voided and raised again, so the client'sapproval always refers to what they were sent. Every step carries its own date, and a stepdated before the last one is refused.
Where the money comes from
This server keeps no arithmetic of its own. computeTotals, currencyDecimals,formatMoney and roundHalfUp are imported from @theluckystrike/mcp-invoice/lib, thecorrupt-store quarantine from @theluckystrike/mcp-timezone/lib, the timezone-aware"today" from @theluckystrike/mcp-quotes/lib. The VAT rate, the currency and the businessname come from the shared business profile that business_set in the invoice server writes.Nothing is written outside this server's own directory, and no sibling store is opened.
The measured insight
A changed line is two items, not one, because one net item shows the customer nothingthey can check. A line that goes from 3 x EUR 450.00 to 5 x EUR 420.00 is worth +EUR750.00, and the tempting payload is one item of quantity 1 at EUR 750.00. The customercannot reproduce that figure from anything on the change order they signed. The payloadthis server emits is a reversal, -3 x EUR 450.00, and the revised line, 5 x EUR 420.00;each reproduces on a calculator, and computeTotals over both is the same +EUR 750.00,because the invoice server's roundHalfUp is symmetric in sign. The same rule carries aremoval as a negative quantity at the unit price it was booked at, which invoice_createaccepts. The unit suite re-runs the invoice server's own computeTotals over the payloadas returned and asserts the four item values and the three totals, then feeds thequote_create items into the same engine as though their MINOR figure were MAJOR andasserts the net is exactly 100x, so the day someone "simplifies" the payload to one netitem, or moves a field between the two scales, the build says so instead of the customer.
Privacy
All data stays on your machine, in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/change-order/.Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account and no API key. License keys are verifiedoffline. This server reads one file it does not own, the shared business profile, andwrites into no store but its own.
