Connects to QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, Enterprise) through its local SDK, enabling read access to customers, vendors, employees, items, accounts, invoices, bills, payments, inventory, time, custom fields, and standard reports, plus optional create, update, delete, and void operations with previews, confirmation tokens, idempotency keys, and audit logging.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Open-source MCP server that connects QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, Enterprise) to LLMs and agents.
Status: pre-1.0. Run so far against QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Accountant 24.0 with Intuit's sample company file; other editions and years are not yet tested (see COMPATIBILITY.md, and the tester guide if you can help).
Read: customers, vendors, employees, items, accounts, invoices, bills, payments, inventory, time, custom fields, and every standard report (aging, P&L, balance sheet, ...), as compact tables.
Change, only if you allow it: create, update, delete and void, with previews, confirmation tokens, idempotency keys, batches and an audit log.
Safe by default: read-only, tax IDs and bank and card numbers masked, payroll off, card data never accepted.
Local: runs on your Windows PC next to QuickBooks and talks to it through its SDK. No cloud, no telemetry.

Then allow access once in QuickBooks (--authorize) and add the server to your AI app. Step by step: docs/GUIDE.md.
Packages and listings: npm, NuGet, GitHub releases, the official MCP Registry (io.github.devwithmj/quickbooks-mcp) and Glama.
Everything is read-only until you opt in. Add the flag to the arguments your MCP client starts the server with:
"args": ["-y", "@devwithmj/quickbooks-mcp", "--allow-writes"]or set an environment variable: QB_ALLOW_WRITES=true for everything, or QB_ENABLE_WRITE, QB_ENABLE_UPDATE and QB_ENABLE_DELETE for one kind each (QB_WRITE_ALLOW=Invoice,Customer limits which record types can change). Deletes and voids always need a confirmation step. Details: docs/WRITES.md.
Most clients start the server themselves. For a client that cannot, quickbooks-mcp --http serves MCP over HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8765 only, and every request needs an access key (printed at start, or set QB_HTTP_KEY). Changes stay off unless you also pass --http-allow-writes. To reach it from another device, put your own tunnel in front of it: docs/REMOTE-ACCESS.md.
This project is for QuickBooks Desktop. If you use QuickBooks Online, use Intuit's own server: intuit/quickbooks-online-mcp-server (Apache-2.0). We read its design for ideas and wrote our own code; no code was copied.
QuickBooks Online server (Intuit) | This project (Desktop) | |
Targets | QuickBooks Online | QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, Enterprise (Windows) |
Where it runs | Talks to Intuit's cloud API | On your PC, next to QuickBooks, through its local SDK |
Setup and sign-in | An Intuit developer app and OAuth | A one-time "allow this app" approval inside QuickBooks ( |
Only on Desktop | Inventory assemblies and sites, price levels, workers comp codes, custom fields via data extensions, opening a record in the QuickBooks window | |
Only on Online | Attachments, invoice PDFs and other cloud features | |
Safety default | See that project | Read-only until you enable writes; deletes and voids need your approval; sensitive numbers masked; payroll off; audit log |
Data path | Through Intuit's cloud | Stays on your computer except what the assistant is shown |
The two do not share a company file or an account: a business on Online should not use this project, and a Desktop business cannot use Intuit's.

The HubSpot MCP Server acts as a bridge that enables AI assistants and Large Language Models to securely interact with HubSpot CRM data through natural conversation, without requiring users to understand complex API structures. It provides read-only access to standard CRM objects (contacts, companies, deals, tickets, products, invoices, and more) and their associations, secured via OAuth 2.0, allowing AI agents to perform tasks like summarizing deals, fetching company updates, and looking up record changes.
