yes, but let's stop and think about this for a moment. If your endstops are inverted that means they are normally open. You want switches that are normally closed, because if there is a break in the wire they will show as open and you know you have an issue. With your endstops, since they are already open there is no way to tell when the wire breaks, thus you could ram your toolhead into the machine because it thinks it still hasn't been triggered

add to your user overrides section:
[stepper_x]
endstop_pin: ^!x_endstop_pin

[stepper_y]
endstop_pin: ^!y_endstop_pin
[stepper_x]
endstop_pin: ^!x_endstop_pin

[stepper_y]
endstop_pin: ^!y_endstop_pin

Well, that is why people use normally closed switches
