Clovis documentation
Install Clovis, connect AI agents through MCP, and inspect the CLI and tool surface generated from the public npm package.
Start with the job
Clovis has two main surfaces: the CLI for humans at a terminal, and MCP tools for AI agents. Pick the job, then use the smallest surface that gets it done.
Start hereInstall Clovis, create a local ledger, and run the first useful checks without learning the whole surface.Connect an AI agentInstall Clovis, point the MCP server at a ledger, and give your agent a bounded bookkeeping toolkit.Import a statementUse QFX, OFX, or CSV files, review pending rows, then commit only after Clovis shows what will change.Ask safelyStart with read-only tools, preview writes with dry-run when available, and approve destructive actions explicitly.Use the CLIBrowse every command with plain-language guidance, arguments, options, examples, and raw help output.Find an MCP toolSearch the generated MCP catalog by name, category, parameters, return type, or safety profile.Understand the databaseBrowse the SQLite ERD, table families, fields, indexes, triggers, and direct SQL write protocol.Read release notesTrack package changes, compatibility notes, and recent behavior updates from the generated changelog.
The simple mental model
Clovis keeps a local ledger. You can operate it directly with commands, or let an agent call typed tools against that same ledger.
