Is this the official Intuit QuickBooks MCP?

No. Intuit does not publish a first-party QuickBooks MCP. This is the wyre-technology qbo-mcp server, a third-party open-source (Apache-2.0) implementation over the QuickBooks Online Accounting API. Treat it as community provenance and vet it before granting write access.

Can it create and send invoices?

Yes. It covers the full invoice lifecycle — create an invoice with line items and a customer, send it by email from QuickBooks, and record a payment against it to mark it paid.

How is the package distributed?

Via GitHub Packages as @wyre-technology/qbo-mcp, so installation requires a GitHub auth token and an .npmrc that scopes @wyre-technology to npm.pkg.github.com. Budget a few extra minutes for that versus a plain public-npm install.

Quick answer

Exposes 130+ tools across 22 QuickBooks Online entities plus 10 financial reports: customers, invoices (list/get/create/send), payments, vendors, bills, purchase orders, estimates, journal entries, items, accounts, and reports (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, general ledger, aged receivables/payables).

Best for

Creating and sending invoices from chat
Reading QuickBooks financial reports
Recording payments against invoices
Aged-receivables follow-ups

Not for

Teams that require a first-party Intuit-supported integration
Unattended writes to a production ledger without approval

Setup recipe

Pick your client, then follow the three steps.

Install

claude_desktop_config.jsonjson

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Paste under mcpServers. Fully quit and reopen Claude after editing.

CLI or .mcp.jsonshell

# export QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_qbo_oauth_access_token
# export QBO_REALM_ID=your_company_realm_id
claude mcp add quickbooks -- npm install @wyre-technology/qbo-mcp

Run from your repo. Commit .mcp.json to share with your team.

.cursor/mcp.jsonjson

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Global path: ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Reload window after editing.

.vscode/mcp.jsonjsonc

{
  "servers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses the "servers" key (not "mcpServers").

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.jsonjson

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open via Cascade → hammer icon → Configure.

cline_mcp_settings.jsonjson

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "install",
        "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open via the Cline sidebar → MCP Servers → Edit.

~/.continue/config.jsonjson

{
  "experimental": {
    "modelContextProtocolServers": [
      {
        "transport": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "npm",
          "args": [
            "install",
            "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
          ],
          "env": {
            "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
            "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Continue uses modelContextProtocolServers with a transport block.

~/.codex/config.tomlshell

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.quickbooks]
command = "npm"
args = [
  "install",
  "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp",
]
env = { QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN = "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}", QBO_REALM_ID = "${QBO_REALM_ID}" }

Codex uses TOML. Each server is a [mcp_servers.<name>] subtable.

~/.config/zed/settings.jsonjsonc

{
  "context_servers": {
    "quickbooks": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npm",
        "args": [
          "install",
          "@wyre-technology/qbo-mcp"
        ]
      },
      "env": {
        "QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN}",
        "QBO_REALM_ID": "${QBO_REALM_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed calls them "context_servers". Settings live-reload on save.

ChatGPT → Apps directorynone

QuickBooks Online doesn't ship a hosted HTTPS endpoint today. ChatGPT supports remote MCP servers only — to use this server in ChatGPT you'll need to deploy it to a public HTTPS URL first (e.g. via Cloudflare Workers or Vercel) or wait for an official remote build.

2
Set required secrets
Set QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN, QBO_REALM_ID in your shell environment before launching your MCP client.
3
Try a minimum working prompt
Minimum working prompt pending verification. Try any prompt from the MCP’s README once installed.

Tools & permissions

Tools list pending verification. The server exposes tools over MCP; we haven’t yet parsed its capability manifest into this page. Check the GitHub repo for the authoritative list.

Security & scope

Access scope: Network
Sandbox: Authenticates with a QuickBooks Online OAuth access token and a company realm ID. Access scope matches the OAuth grant.
Gotchas: Distributed via GitHub Packages, not public npm — you need NODE_AUTH_TOKEN set to a GitHub token and an .npmrc entry for @wyre-technology before npm install resolves.
Not an Intuit-official server. Scope the OAuth token to read-only for reporting workflows, and keep human approval on invoice creation and payment posting.

Agent prompt pack

— copy into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT.

Paste into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Edit the [brackets] before sending.

Recommend the best MCP servers for [task: e.g. commerce & payments work] in [client: Claude].

Constraints:
- Prefer tools that are [official | open-source | read-only] — pick what matters for my use case.
- Exclude MCPs that require [e.g. a paid plan, OAuth-only flows, remote-only transport].
- Return at most 3 picks, ranked.

For each pick include:
1. One-sentence rationale.
2. The ready-to-paste install snippet for my client.
3. Any required secrets I need to create before installing.

Cross-check the top-mcps.com listing: https://top-mcps.com/top-mcps-for-commerce-payments

Compare QuickBooks Online against a real alternative. Swap the second MCP in [brackets] if you want a different match.

Compare QuickBooks Online MCP vs [Xero MCP] for the following job: [describe the job, e.g. "let an agent create GitHub issues on bug triage"].

Judge them on:
- Setup time and complexity (what a new user hits first).
- Auth model (none / API key / OAuth 2.1) and credential risk.
- Transport (stdio / Streamable HTTP / SSE) and where the server runs.
- Required secrets and the blast radius if they leak.
- Operational risk in an unattended agent loop.
- Which one is "good enough" for a weekend prototype vs. production.

End with one sentence: which should I pick for my scenario, which is: [my scenario].

Asks the agent to install and verify. Works inside Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Codex CLI.

Install the QuickBooks Online MCP server for my [client: Claude] at the default config path for that client.

Use the exact install snippet published at https://top-mcps.com/mcp/quickbooks (fetch https://top-mcps.com/mcp/quickbooks.json for the canonical server.json if you can read URLs).

Before finishing:
1. Create the required secrets (QBO_ACCESS_TOKEN, QBO_REALM_ID) and put them in the appropriate env block — do not hard-code them.
2. Restart or reload the client so it picks up the new server.
3. Verify the server is connected (green / running state) and at least one tool is listed.
4. If anything fails, read the client's MCP logs and report the exact error — do not silently retry.

Confirm when done and list the tools the server now exposes.
