Accountingqb MCP server

AccountingQB-MCP

The most comprehensive QuickBooks Online MCP server for Claude. Built for sole proprietors and small businesses who want to manage their books, run reports, and prep taxes through natural conversation.

138 tools covering transactions, reports, tax prep (US and Canada), reconciliation, smart bookkeeping, 1099/T4A reporting, GST/HST returns, anomaly detection, credit memos, vendor credits, cash flow forecasting, and profit margin analysis — all from Claude Desktop. Includes a CPA Workbook: a 15-page year-end binder (comparative statements, reconciliation tie-outs, tax payments made, owner's draws, tax organizer) exported to Excel for your accountant.

Canada support: works with Canadian QuickBooks Online companies out of the box — the server auto-detects the company's tax edition, applies sales tax codes (GST/HST/PST) on created transactions, and ships a full Canadian tax suite: GST/HST (GST34) return workpapers with the 50% meals ITC restriction, T2125 line mapping, CCA schedules (half-year rule + Accelerated Investment Incentive), T4A/T5018 contractor reporting, and CRA instalment + CPP estimates. Multicurrency companies see per-transaction currency and exchange rates.

Built by Vaspera Capital — because QuickBooks deserved a real MCP server.
