Quickbooks Mcp

laf-rge/quickbooks-mcp

Connects to QuickBooks Online's API with a focus on financial professionals rather than developers exploring the API. Resolves vendor and account names automatically instead of requiring internal IDs, includes built-in tools for P&L, Balance Sheet, and Trial Balance reports, and defaults all write operations to draft mode so you see changes before they hit your books. Uses a single SQL-like query tool across all QuickBooks entities instead of separate search endpoints for each type. Handles OAuth token refresh automatically and supports both local credential storage and AWS Secrets Manager for shared environments. Ships via npm and designed for bookkeepers and CFOs who want to pull reports or create journal entries through an AI assistant using plain language.

Readme

QuickBooks MCP Server

An MCP server for QuickBooks Online — built for bookkeepers, CFOs, and accountants who use AI assistants in their daily workflow.

Ask your AI assistant to pull a P&L report, create a journal entry, or investigate an account balance — using plain language, not API payloads.

Why This Server?

Intuit provides an official MCP server that's a solid starting point for developers exploring the QuickBooks API. This server takes a different approach: it's designed for financial professionals working in production books.

Use natural language, not internal IDs

Intuit's server requires QuickBooks internal IDs for every reference — you need to look up a vendor's ID before creating a bill. This server resolves names automatically:

"Create a bill for PG&E, $450 to Utilities, dated 2025-01-15"
→ Vendor, account, and department names are resolved automatically

Financial reports built in

This is the only QuickBooks MCP server with report tools. Pull a P&L, Balance Sheet, or Trial Balance — broken down by month, department, or class — without leaving your AI conversation.
