Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

π’what_can_you_do(task)
Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls β instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.

}π’csv_to_qbo(csv, url, account_id, bank_id, currency)
Convert a transaction CSV into a .qbo / OFX bank-feed file that QuickBooks and similar accounting software import directly. Needs date, description and amount columns (or debit + credit). Pairs with extract_statement: statement PDF in, importable bank feed out.
Input Schema

"type": "object",

}π’diff_tables(url_a, url_b, text_a, text_b, key)
Matches rows across two CSVs on a key column and reports three things: keys only in A, keys only in B, and keys in both whose other columns disagree β naming the exact column and both values. Unlike reconcile_ledger this needs no amount column, so it also fits name lists, inventory counts, permission tables, and any "these two exports should match" check.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url_a": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Link to the first CSV."
},

}π’clean_table(url, text, ops, keep, split_column, ...)
Tidies a spreadsheet export: removes duplicate rows, trims whitespace (half-width and full-width β Chinese exports are full of γ), unifies the half-dozen ways a cell can say "empty" (NA / null / - / ζ ), drops empty rows and columns, and can split one column into several. Returns the cleaned CSV plus exactly what changed: rows in, rows out, duplicates removed, cells trimmed per column. It can also transpose rows/columns and unpivot a wide table into a long one. The row arithmetic is verified in code β if in β removed β out, the response says so instead of handing back a table nobody can check. Use when a CSV came out of Excel or an export and needs cleaning before analysis.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Link to the CSV. Provide this or text."

}π’merge_tables(urls, texts)
Combines up to 20 CSVs into a single table. Headers do not have to match: columns are unioned and a file missing a column contributes blanks for it, so rows never shift silently β the failure mode that makes hand-merged spreadsheets untrustworthy. Reports each source file row count and checks in code that they sum to the merged total. Use for monthly exports, per-store sheets, or any set of files with the same subject but drifting headers.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"urls": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Comma-separated CSV links, at least two."

}π’reconcile_ledger(url_a, url_b, text_a, text_b, key, ...)
Reconciles two sets of records β your books against a bank, platform, or supplier statement. Matches rows on a key column, compares an amount column, and returns three lists: only in A, only in B, and same key but different amount. Amounts are compared in integer cents, so 0.1 + 0.2 never invents a phantom difference for someone to chase. The response also proves the result: the listed differences are re-added and must equal the gap between the two totals, checked in code. Use for month-end close, platform payouts vs orders, or any "these two numbers should agree and do not" problem. This is the job people do by hand with VLOOKUP or a groupby and then cannot prove they got right.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url_a": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Link to side A (e.g. your books)."

}π’fix_csv_encoding(url, text)
Detect the real encoding of a CSV (GB18030, Shift-JIS, Windows-1252β¦), repair mojibake (UTF-8 that was read as Latin-1, e.g. "ΓΒ©"), and re-emit UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel opens it correctly.

}π’read_xlsx(url, sheet, keep_formulas, max_rows, inline, ...)
Read an Excel .xlsx workbook (by URL) into rows β every sheet, or one you name. Returns cell values (not formula text), dates as YYYY-MM-DD instead of Excel serial numbers, and keeps leading zeros so ID/postcode columns are not silently mangled. Says plainly which sheet it used, which sheets are hidden, and where merged cells left blanks, instead of guessing for you.
Input Schema

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {},

}π‘write_xlsx(sheets, url, text, sheet_name)
Build an Excel .xlsx file from rows (CSV text or JSON arrays), optionally several sheets at once. Numbers are written as real numbers so they sum in Excel, while values with leading zeros stay text so IDs and postcodes survive the round trip.
Input Schema

"url": {},
"text": {},
"sheet_name": {}

}βͺmatch_transactions(url_a, text_a, url_b, text_b, sheet_a, ...)
Match bank statement lines to ledger/invoice entries when there is NO shared key β by amount, date window, reference numbers found inside free-text descriptions, and fuzzy counterparty names ("εδΊ¬XXη§ζ" vs "XXη§ζ(εδΊ¬)"). Handles split payments (one invoice paid in instalments, 1:N) and combined payments (one transfer covering several invoices, N:1). Its rule is: never guess β a pair is only auto-match

}π’dedupe_entities(url, text, sheet, name, tax_id, ...)
Find records in a supplier/customer/store list that are probably the SAME entity under different names β "εδΊ¬ζθΎ°η§ζζιε ¬εΈ" vs "ζθΎ°η§ζ(εδΊ¬)" β by cross-checking name similarity against hard identifiers: tax ID (η»δΈη€ΎδΌδΏ‘η¨δ»£η , checksum-verified), phone, domain, bank account, address. It never merges anything: it returns candidate groups with the evidence for each link, pairs that need human review, and β just as
