Jobber Mcp Server

Jobber MCP Server

An MCP server for Jobber — connect any MCP-compatible client to your Jobber field-service data.

[npm version] [npm downloads] [License: MIT] [MCP Compatible] [TypeScript] [Claude Desktop] [Cursor]

What is this?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants and agents access to your Jobber data — clients, jobs, invoices, and quotes — through a clean, typed API.

Use it with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP-compatible client to ask questions about your business data, create quotes, and manage field-service operations through natural language.

Why use this?

• 6 built-in tools — clients, jobs, invoices, and quotes in one server
• Mock mode — try it instantly with fake data, no Jobber account needed
• Natural language queries — "show me overdue invoices" just works
• Quote creation — create and send quotes without opening Jobber
• Client lookup — find client details, contact info, and job history
• Works with every MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and more

Quick Start

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

{  "mcpServers": {    "jobber": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "jobber-mcp-server"],      "env": {        "JOBBER_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token",        "JOBBER_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",        "JOBBER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"      }    }  }}

Or try with mock data first (no Jobber account needed):

JOBBER_MOCK_MODE=true npx jobber-mcp-server

Get API credentials at Jobber Developer Portal.

Use it

Ask your AI assistant things like:

• "List all my clients"
• "Show me the details for client-101"
• "What jobs are assigned to Alex Reyes?"
• "Create a quote for Northwind Roofing: 2 hours of emergency repair at $150/hr"
• "Which invoices are overdue?"

Tools

Use Cases

Daily Operations Check

"Show me today's jobs and any overdue invoices" — start your morning with a full picture of what needs attention. No more logging into Jobber's dashboard first thing.

Client Research

"What's the history with Northwind Roofing?" — pull up client details, recent jobs, and outstanding invoices before a site visit or sales call.

Quote Generation

"Create a quote for Mrs. Chen: gutter cleaning, 1 hour, $120" — draft and send quotes from the field without switching apps.

Invoicing Audit

"Show me all unpaid invoices over $500" — find overdue payments and follow up without manually filtering through Jobber's invoice list.

Field Service Reporting

"Summarize Alex Reyes' jobs this week" — generate performance summaries for team meetings or payroll without pulling reports manually.

Security

• OAuth credentials required — Jobber API uses OAuth2. Credentials are passed via environment variables, never logged.
• No local file access — does not read or write any files on your machine (unless you enable mock mode).
• No shell access — does not execute commands or spawn processes.
• Mock mode safe — JOBBER_MOCK_MODE=true uses fake data with no API calls to Jobber.
• Open source — MIT licensed. Inspect the code at GitHub.

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed" errors

Verify your JOBBER_CLIENT_ID, JOBBER_CLIENT_SECRET, and JOBBER_ACCESS_TOKEN are correct. Tokens expire — check the Jobber Developer Portal for fresh credentials.

"No data found" in mock mode

Make sure JOBBER_MOCK_MODE=true is set in your environment or MCP config. Mock mode creates sample clients, jobs, and invoices automatically.

Server won't start

Make sure Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version. If using npx, ensure npm is up to date: npm install -g npm@latest.

MCP client can't connect

Verify the config path is correct. Claude Desktop uses ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows. Restart the client after config changes.

Slow responses

Jobber's GraphQL API has ~200-500ms latency. Complex queries (e.g., listing clients with full job history) may take longer. Use list_clients with a limit parameter to speed up initial queries.

Jobber API Setup

To use with your real Jobber account:

1. Go to Jobber Developer Portal
2. Create an app and get your client_id and client_secret
3. Complete OAuth flow to get an access_token
4. Add credentials to .env or MCP client config

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• A Jobber account with API access, or use JOBBER_MOCK_MODE=true for testing
