MCP Server · QuickBooks Online Coming soon

Plug Claude into your QuickBooks Online account.

Read-only MCP server for QuickBooks Online — vendors, bills, customers, invoices, accounts, and the trial balance. Currently in flight; email below to get notified at launch.

Free · MIT license

What you'll be able to do

Most accounting questions are slow because the answer is buried in QuickBooks' UI under a report you have to remember to run. With a read-only MCP server wired into Claude, you'll be able to ask things like:

  • "Show me every vendor whose bill total this month is up vs last."
  • "Pull the open A/R aging into a markdown table."
  • "What's the trial balance delta between the last two months?"
  • "Find any invoices over $5,000 that have been outstanding more than 60 days."

No custom report. No spreadsheet export. Just a conversation.

Planned tool surface

The v0.1 surface (subject to change as it lands):

  • qbo_search_vendors — by name, status, with paging
  • qbo_get_vendor — full vendor detail by ID
  • qbo_search_bills — date range, vendor, paid/unpaid filter
  • qbo_get_bill — full bill with line items + account splits
  • qbo_search_customers — by name, balance, status
  • qbo_search_invoices — date range, customer, paid/open
  • qbo_list_accounts — full chart of accounts
  • qbo_get_trial_balance — for any date range

Same JSON envelope as the rest of the MCP server family. OAuth handled via the proven scaffold from the methodology pack — auto-refresh on expiry, encrypted tokens at rest, kill-switch endpoint.

Who this is for

This MCP server is for you if:

  • You run QuickBooks Online and use Claude or another MCP-aware AI client for daily work.
  • You'd rather ask "what's the A/R aging look like" than dig through Reports → Customers & Receivables → A/R Aging Detail every time.
  • You're already a fan of the SellerCloud or Walmart MCP servers and want the same shape for your books.

FAQ

When is it shipping?
In flight as of late April 2026. Email brett@alveyautomation.com to be notified the day v0.1 is published.
What will it cover at v0.1?
Read-only access to the most-used QuickBooks Online endpoints: vendors, bills, customers, invoices, accounts, and the trial balance. Same shape as the SellerCloud and Walmart MCP servers — uniform JSON envelope, OAuth handled, MIT-licensed.
Will it write?
No. v0.1 is read-only by design, matching the rest of the MCP server family. Write operations on accounting data have a stricter threat model and may ship as a separate package later.
What auth does it use?
QuickBooks Online OAuth 2.0 (Intuit). You connect your books once, refresh tokens are stored locally and rotated automatically on near-expiry. No Alvey-hosted backend; your credentials never leave your machine.
How does this differ from QBO Vendor Anomaly?
QBO Vendor Anomaly is a hosted SaaS app that runs daily and alerts you in Slack — install once, no code. The QuickBooks MCP server is a developer tool that lets Claude (or any MCP client) ask ad-hoc questions of your books in real time. Different audiences, different surfaces.
Will there be a paid version?
The MCP server itself will be free / MIT, like the other MCP servers in this family. Hosted higher-level analyses (anomaly detection, cash-flow forecasting, etc.) live in their own paid marketplace apps.
