What get_quote_pdf_link does
Fetches a single quote pdf link by its ID, returning every field including line items, audit metadata, and timestamps.
This tool is part of InvoiceCave's open MCP server — the most MCP-complete invoicing platform on the market with 102 tools covering invoices, customers, quotes, expenses, payments, recurring schedules, accounting, and reports. Every tool is callable from any MCP-compatible AI client without writing a single line of integration code.
How an AI uses get_quote_pdf_link
Use this after a list_* call when the AI needs full detail on one record — line items, totals, payment status, history. Safe to call repeatedly; it's a read-only fetch with no side effects.
You don't call this tool directly — you ask the AI in plain English and the MCP client decides which tool to invoke based on your request. The example prompts below were lifted from real Claude Desktop sessions, so you can use them verbatim or adapt them to your data.
Parameters
get_quote_pdf_link accepts 1 parameter — 1 required, 0 optional. The AI fills these in from your natural-language prompt; you never write them by hand.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| quoteId | string | required | Quote ID |
Request example
Under the hood, your AI client sends a JSON-RPC 2.0 tools/call request to InvoiceCave's MCP endpoint at https://www.invoicecave.com/api/mcp/mcp. Here's what a get_quote_pdf_link call looks like:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "get_quote_pdf_link",
"arguments": {
"quoteId": "quo_a1b2c3d4"
}
}
}You won't write this yourself — it's shown so developers can see exactly what the MCP client generates. The arguments object maps 1:1 to the parameters above. Authentication is handled by the Authorization: Bearer header with your API key.
Example AI prompts
Type any of these into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor — InvoiceCave's MCP server will route them to get_quote_pdf_link automatically.
