About

Alegra ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 24 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Alegra is a cloud accounting and invoicing platform used by small and mid-sized businesses across Latin America and Spain. This app covers the core bookkeeping loop: list, read, create, void, delete and email sales invoices; manage contacts (clients and providers) and the product and service catalogue; register and void payments; and read quotes, supplier bills, taxes and the company profile.

Authentication is the account email plus the API token generated under Configuración > API in Alegra. Alegra identifiers are strings, lists return at most 30 records per call, and country-specific invoice fields (electronic-invoicing stamps, fiscal codes) can be supplied through each create action’s additional-fields object.

Health checks track the API Alegra Contabilidad component on Alegra’s status page, API reachability, and the documented 150-requests-per-minute rate-limit headroom.

Build with Alegra

Three routes to the same 24 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Alegra's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

List Supplier Bills

bill-list

List supplier bills (facturas de proveedor), 30 per page.

Get Company

company-get

Fetch the company profile of the account: name, tax id, regime, country version, decimal precision.

Create Contact

contact-create

Create a contact (client, provider or both).

Delete Contact

contact-delete

Delete a contact. Refused (error 1015) while recurring invoices or payments reference it.

Get Contact

contact-get

Fetch one contact by id.

List Contacts

contact-list

List contacts (clients and providers), 30 per page.

Update Contact

contact-update

Edit a contact. Only the fields you send change.

List Estimates

estimate-list

List quotes (cotizaciones), 30 per page.

Create Sales Invoice

invoice-create

Create a sales invoice. Without `status` (and without payments) Alegra creates it as a draft.

Delete Draft Invoice

invoice-delete

Delete a sales invoice. Only invoices in draft status can be deleted; use Void Sales Invoice otherwise.

Get Sales Invoice

invoice-get

Fetch one sales invoice by id.

List Sales Invoices

invoice-list

List sales invoices, 30 per page (the default and the maximum).

Email Sales Invoice

invoice-send-email

Send a sales invoice by email from Alegra.

Void Sales Invoice

invoice-void

Void (anular) a sales invoice. The record is kept but stops counting in accounting.

Create Item

item-create

Create a product or service with a single general price.

Delete Item

item-delete

Delete a product or service. Refused while documents reference it.

Get Item

item-get

Fetch one product or service by id.

List Items

item-list

List products and services, 30 per page.

Update Item

item-update

Edit a product or service. An INACTIVE item cannot be edited: set Status to active in the same call to reactivate it.

Create Payment

payment-create

Register a payment (incoming against sales invoices, outgoing against supplier bills).

Get Payment

payment-get

Fetch one payment by id.

List Payments

payment-list

List incoming and outgoing payments, 30 per page.

Void Payment

payment-void

Void (anular) a payment. The record stays but no longer affects accounting or reports.

List Taxes

tax-list

List the account's taxes, to find the tax ids invoice and item lines refer to.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Alegra's real ids.

+19 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Alegra, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Alegra. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "contact-create",
  payload: {
    name: "<value>",
    // identification: "<value>",
    // email: "<value>",
    // phonePrimary: "<value>",
    // phoneSecondary: "<value>",
    // mobile: "<value>",
    // types: "<value>",
    // address: "<value>",
    // city: "<value>",
    // creditLimit: "<value>",
    // ignoreRepeated: "<value>",
    // additionalFields: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action contact-create --payload '{"name":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Alegra — without giving it Alegra's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.alegra#contact-create",
    "input": {
      "name": "<name>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Alegra connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Alegra's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Alegra itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Alegra declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Alegra API status

The `API Alegra Contabilidad` resource on status.alegra.com (Better Stack) decides the verdict. The page also lists the web app, POS, Payroll and Store; those are shown as detail but do not drive the state, because they are different products.

dependency

API reachable

Unauthenticated GET https://api.alegra.com/api/v1/company. A 401 carrying Alegra's JSON `{"message":"Unauthorized"}` passes: the API edge is answering.

quota

API rate-limit headroom

Requests remaining in the current 1-minute window, read from the documented X-Rate-Limit-* response headers (150 requests/minute per user).
