Jakob WennbergandClaude Sonnet 5 ec27228a8e style: remove em/en dashes repo-wide, add CLAUDE.md rule against them (#890)
Em dashes (—) and en dashes (–) had spread across comments, docs, tests,
and a few UI strings, reading as AI-generated boilerplate rather than
house style. Replaced each with punctuation matching its context: colon
for explanatory clauses, comma for asides, plain hyphen for numeric/legal
ranges (e.g. "21-23§"), "to"/"till" for date ranges, parentheses for
paired-dash asides. messages/en.json and messages/sv.json were fixed by
hand together to keep sv/en in sync.

Left untouched where the dash is the functional subject rather than
decorative punctuation: date-range-parser.ts's separator regex,
charset-repair.ts's CP1252 byte-mapping table (and its test), the SIE
encoding mojibake docs, generic-csv.ts's minus-sign normalizer, the
agent system-prompt files that already instruct against em dashes, and
a golden iXBRL test fixture compared byte-for-byte.

Also fixes two bugs surfaced along the way: an off-by-one in
ApiKeysPanel's scope-label split (a leftover from an earlier partial
pass), and a charset-repair test that had lost the literal en-dash it
exists to verify.

Regenerated the agent atom seed migration (skills:generate) since 27
SKILL.md files changed. Added a CLAUDE.md rule against em/en dashes,
with an explicit carve-out for the functional-dash cases above.

# gnubok-mcp
Connect [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) (or any stdio MCP client) to your [Accounted](https://app.gnubok.se) bookkeeping account. This is a thin stdio → HTTPS bridge: it forwards JSON-RPC over stdio to the hosted Accounted MCP server, which exposes 90+ bookkeeping tools (invoices, transactions, VAT/momsdeklaration, payroll, reports, year-end).
Write tools stage a pending operation that you confirm before anything is booked: the bridge never books on its own.
## Quickstart
1. Mint an API key in the Accounted dashboard at **[/settings/api](https://app.gnubok.se/settings?tab=api)**. Use a `gnubok_sk_test_*` key against the sandbox while you evaluate; switch to `gnubok_sk_live_*` for real data. The key's scopes gate which tools are callable.
2. Run the bridge with the key in the environment:
```bash
GNUBOK_API_KEY=gnubok_sk_test_... npx gnubok-mcp
```
It reads JSON-RPC from stdin and writes responses to stdout, so you normally point an MCP client at it rather than running it by hand.
## Claude Desktop config
Add the bridge to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gnubok": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["gnubok-mcp"],
"env": {
"GNUBOK_API_KEY": "gnubok_sk_test_..."
}
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop. The Accounted tools appear in the client and you can start asking questions like *"Show my uncategorized bank transactions and suggest categories."*
### Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `GNUBOK_API_KEY` | yes | - | Your `gnubok_sk_*` API key. |
| `GNUBOK_URL` | no | `https://app.gnubok.se/api/extensions/ext/mcp-server/mcp` | Override the MCP endpoint (e.g. for self-hosted Accounted). |
| `GNUBOK_CLIENT` | no | - | Distribution-channel marker (e.g. `openclaw`), sent as `X-Gnubok-Client`. Telemetry only: never affects auth or behavior. |
## Alternative: claude.ai connector (no API key)
If you use **claude.ai** or Claude Desktop's custom-connector flow, you can skip this bridge entirely and add Accounted as an OAuth 2.1 custom connector instead: paste the connector URL `https://app.gnubok.se/api/extensions/ext/mcp-server/mcp?client=claude-connector` and authorise on the Accounted consent screen (read-only scopes by default; write scopes are ticked explicitly).
