MCP server for FreshBooks API integration

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyFinanceBusiness & Commerce

Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an assistant to the FreshBooks accounting API so it can work with small-business invoicing, expenses, and client data.

What you can do
A local MCP server that wraps the FreshBooks accounting API for GenAI applications. It advertises comprehensive API coverage, multiple authentication methods, rate limiting, retry logic, and async support, though no individual tools are listed in the manifest. It is intended to let an assistant read and act on FreshBooks business records.
When to use it
Worth adding when an assistant needs to work with FreshBooks accounting data, such as invoices, clients, or expenses, from a desktop MCP client. It is not useful if you do not use FreshBooks or only need general accounting advice.
Requirements
Runs locally as a stdio process, installed from PyPI as freshbooks-mcp-server and launched with uvx, so a Python runtime is needed. A FreshBooks API key must be supplied in the FRESHBOOKS_API_KEY environment variable, and the API URL can be set with FRESHBOOKS_API_URL. Network access to the FreshBooks API is required.
Before you install
The server requires the secret FRESHBOOKS_API_KEY, which grants access to your FreshBooks account; store it in the environment rather than in shared files. Because it covers the FreshBooks API broadly, an assistant may be able to create, modify, or delete accounting records, so review actions before confirming them. The README does not document which operations are exposed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Freshbooks 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.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
