ConnectWise Sell MCP Server

FastMCP HTTP server wrapping the ConnectWise Sell (Quosal) REST API. 12 tools covering Quotes, Line Items, Tabs, Customers, Terms, Templates, Recurring Revenue, and Tax Codes.

Note: Quotes cannot be created from scratch via the Sell API — new quotes must be copied from an existing quote or template. Use get_templates to browse templates, then copy_quote to create.

Installation

Via uvx (recommended — no clone, no venv):

uvx connectwise-sell-mcp

Set credentials via environment variables or a .env file in your working directory.

Via pip:

pip install connectwise-sell-mcp
connectwise-sell-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/Mfrostbutter/connectwise-sell-mcp
cd connectwise-sell-mcp
cp .env.example .env
# fill in your SELL_* credentials
python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 server.py
# verify: curl http://localhost:8086/health

Transport modes

In stdio mode the server is spawned per-session by the client — no port, no persistent process.

Environment variables

How to find your access key

Log into ConnectWise Sell and look at the URL — it will contain a parameter like accessKey=XXXXXXXX. That value is your SELL_ACCESS_KEY.

Authentication

The Sell API uses HTTP Basic auth with a compound credential:

Authorization: basic base64(accessKey+username:password)

The server constructs this automatically from your env vars.
