Tally MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes Tally (TallyPrime / Tally.ERP 9) accounting data and operations as tools for LLM clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any other MCP-compatible client.

It talks to Tally over its built-in HTTP/XML gateway — the same interface used by ODBC connectors and third-party integrations — so no plugin needs to be installed inside Tally itself.

Prerequisites

  1. Tally (TallyPrime or Tally.ERP 9) running locally or on a reachable host.

  2. The Tally XML/HTTP gateway enabled:

    • In Tally, go to Gateway of Tally > F1 (Help) > Settings > Connectivity.

    • Ensure "Client/Server configuration" is set up and the port (default 9200) is open. Tally must have a company loaded for most tools to return data.

  3. Node.js 18+.

Install & build

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

The server reads its Tally connection settings from environment variables:

Variable

Default

Description

TALLY_URL

http://localhost:9200

Base URL of the Tally HTTP/XML gateway.

TALLY_COMPANY

(active company)

Company name to scope requests to (optional).

Running

npm start

This starts the server on stdio, ready to be attached to an MCP client.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code configuration

Add to your MCP client's server config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tally": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/tally-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TALLY_URL": "http://localhost:9200",
        "TALLY_COMPANY": "My Company Name"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes & limitations

  • Tally's XML gateway must be reachable from wherever this server runs; if Tally is on another machine, expose the configured port on your network and point TALLY_URL at it.

  • Only one company can be actively targeted per server instance (TALLY_COMPANY); to work with another company, restart with a different value or omit it to use whatever company is currently open in Tally.

  • create_voucher requires ledger entries to balance (debits == credits); the server checks this client-side before submitting, but Tally performs its own validation as well (e.g. required masters must already exist).

    TDQS

    A4/5.0

    Scored across 12 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Every tool maps to a distinct resource or report: list/get for ledgers and stock items, list for companies/groups/vouchers, and separate tools for each financial report. There is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity between tool purposes.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using list_, get_, or create_. This makes the tool set predictable and easy for an agent to navigate.

    Tool Count5/5

    Twelve tools is well within the ideal range and each tool earns its place for a Tally accounting integration. The count covers both master data queries, transaction listing/creation, and core financial reports without unnecessary bloat.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set provides strong coverage for reading companies, ledgers, stock items, vouchers, and financial reports, plus creating vouchers. Missing operations like editing or deleting vouchers, viewing individual voucher details, or creating ledgers are minor gaps for an integration focused on retrieval and transaction entry.
