Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that gives an AI assistant schema-aware read/write access to QuickBooks Online data through Devart dotConnect ADO.NET.

What you can do
  • Query QuickBooks Online business data in natural language, translated into structured queries and returned as structured results
  • Read and write QuickBooks Online records through the Devart dotConnect ADO.NET provider
  • Analyze cash position, outstanding invoices, payments and bank balances
  • Break down expenses by vendor, category, period and project
  • Produce profit and loss summaries, revenue breakdowns and expense comparisons
  • Retrieve categorized transactions, payroll and contractor payment history
When to use it
Useful for teams and accountants whose primary financial data lives in QuickBooks Online and who want to ask questions or generate reports in chat instead of exporting data or writing queries manually.
Requirements
Runs as a local Windows process (desktop only) with .NET 8 SDK for building from source; the Devart dotConnect for QuickBooks Online provider is restored via NuGet, and the ODBC variant needs the separately installed Devart ODBC Driver. A connection is configured in an mcpserver.json file or via the DEVART_MCP_QUICKBOOKS_CONNECTION connection string, including company ID and license key; stdio or http transport.
Before you install
The connection string carries OAuth/company credentials and a Devart license key, so treat it as a secret. The server offers read/write access to accounting records, so assistant actions can change business data. The underlying Devart driver is a paid product with a 30-day trial, and the ODBC variant must be downloaded and installed manually.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Devart MCP Server for QuickBooks Online (ADO.NET) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Manual installation and configuration

Prerequisites

Before building and running Devart MCP Server for QuickBooks Online, ensure the following components are installed:

  • .NET 8 SDK
  • ADO.NET connection — Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks.csproj Devart dotConnect for QuickBooks Online (installed automatically via NuGet during build)
  • ODBC connection — Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks.csproj Devart ODBC Driver for QuickBooks Online (requires manual download and installation)

Step 1: Clone the repository

Clone the project repository and navigate to the project directory:

1. Open Command Prompt.

2. Enter the following command:

cmd
git clone https://github.com/devart-ai-connectivity/devart-mcp-server-quickbooks-online.gitcd devart-mcp-server-quickbooks-online

Step 2: Build the MCP Server from source

You can build Devart MCP Server for QuickBooks Online from source using either of the supported database connectivity technologies: ADO.NET or ODBC.

  • To build the MCP server with ADO.NET, run the following command:
cmd
dotnet publish Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet/Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks/Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks.csproj -c ReleaseQuickBooks /p:TargetFramework=net8.0

The Devart dotConnect for QuickBooks Online NuGet package is downloaded and restored automatically.

  • To build the MCP server with ODBC, select the command based on the bitness of your data source.

For 64-bit data source, run the following command:

cmd
dotnet publish Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc/Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks/Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks.csproj -c ReleaseQuickBooks -r "win-x64" /p:TargetFramework=net8.0

For 32-bit data source, run the following command:

cmd
dotnet publish Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc/Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks/Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks.csproj -c ReleaseQuickBooks -r "win-x86" /p:TargetFramework=net8.0

Note

The target platform must match the bitness of your ODBC data source.

Step 3: Configure the database connection for the MCP Server

1. Create an mcpserver.json configuration file in the directory containing the built MCP Server executable.

2. In the file, configure the database connection.

  • Configure a connection with ADO.NET.

Add the following configuration to the mcpserver.json file:

json
{  "Connections": [    {      "Name": "my_quickbooks",      "ConnectionString": "Authentication Type=OAuthInteractive;Company Id=your_company_id;License Key=your_license_key;",      "ProtocolType": "stdio"    }  ]}
  • Configure a connection with ODBC.

Add the following configuration to the mcpserver.json file:

json
{  "Connections": [    {      "Name": "my_quickbooks",      "DsnName": "your_dsn_name",      "ProtocolType": "stdio"    }  ]}
  • Configure a connection with ODBC using a connection string.

Add the following configuration to the mcpserver.json file:

json
{  "Connections": [    {      "Name": "my_quickbooks",      "ConnectionString": "Driver={Devart ODBC Driver for QuickBooks Online};Server=localhost;User ID=quickbooks;Password=your_password;Database=your_database;",      "ProtocolType": "stdio"    }  ]}

where:

  • Name — The connection name.

  • ConnectionString (applies to ADO.NET) — A database-specific connection string used to establish a connection to the target database.

  • DsnName (applies to ODBC) — The name of your data source.

  • ProtocolType — A transport protocol. The possible options are: stdio or http.

  • HttpPort (required if ProtocolType is set to http) — The port number for the http protocol.

Step 4: Run the MCP server

After you configure the MCP Server, you can start it.

Note

This step is required only when ProtocolType is configured as http. If you use the stdio transport protocol, your AI client starts the server automatically.

  • To start the server with ADO.NET, run the following command:
cmd
Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks.exe run my_quickbooks
  • To start the server with ODBC, run the following command:
cmd
Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks.exe run my_quickbooks

where my_quickbooks is the name of the ODBC connection.

Step 5: Integrate with Claude Desktop

1. Open claude_desktop_config.json, the Claude configuration file.

Tip

If you can't locate the configuration file, it may not exist yet. To create it, open Claude Desktop and navigate to File > Settings > Developer, then click Edit Config. The folder with the claude_desktop_config.json file opens.

2. Add one of the following objects, depending on the transport protocol used by MCP Server:

  • STDIO
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "devart": {      "command": "C:\\path\\to\\Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks.exe",      "args": [        "run",        "my_quickbooks"      ]    }  }}

where:

  • devart is the connector name that will appear in Claude Desktop.

  • C:\\path\\to\\Devart.AI.McpServer.AdoNet.QuickBooks.exe is the path to the executable file. For an ODBC connection, use Devart.AI.McpServer.Odbc.QuickBooks.exe.

  • my_quickbooks is the connection name specified in the mcpserver.json configuration file.

  • HTTP

    json
      "mcpServers": {    "devart": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y",        "mcp-remote",        "http://localhost:5000/sse"      ]    }  }

    where:

    • devart is the connector name that will appear in Claude Desktop.
    • 5000 is the MCP Server listening port.

3. Save the file.

4. Restart Claude Desktop.

Devart MCP Server for QuickBooks Online is now integrated with Claude, and devart appears in the Claude Desktop app in Customize > Connectors.
