What is BookMind?

BookMind is an open-source MCP server that brings intelligent bookkeeping to QuickBooks Online. Unlike Intuit's official MCP server (a raw API wrapper), BookMind is an intelligent bookkeeping layer — you speak naturally, it handles the rest.

Why BookMind?

Problem

Solution

Manual transaction categorization

Auto-categorize with 90%+ accuracy using learned rules + any LLM

Month-end close takes hours

One prompt → full close package (P&L, BS, CF, action items)

Bank reconciliation is tedious

Automatic fuzzy matching by amount, date, vendor

Duplicate payments slip through

Statistical anomaly detection catches them

Chasing overdue invoices

Professional emails in friendly/firm/escalation tones

Vendor research is slow

Natural language search: "What did we pay AWS last quarter?"

Locked into one AI provider

Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, NVIDIA, Ollama — or no provider at all

  • Zero cloud dependency — your data stays in local SQLite

  • Learns from you — every correction becomes a persistent rule

  • Model-agnostic — works with 7+ LLM providers (or rules-only mode)

  • Agent-agnostic — works with Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Goose

export NVIDIA_API_KEY=...      # Free tier available
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=...      # Free tier available
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
export MISTRAL_API_KEY=...
export OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
