At a glance: Two major vendors (Xero, QuickBooks) have official MCP servers. Sage has one too. Plus strong plain-text accounting coverage. One of the most production-ready MCP verticals.
Cloud Accounting Platforms
Xero MCP Server (Official)
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XeroAPI/xero-mcp-server | 207 | TypeScript | MIT | 50+ |
The most comprehensive accounting MCP server. 90 commits, 19 contributors. Contacts, invoices, chart of accounts, payroll, and reporting. Supports Custom Connections (single org) and Bearer Token (multi-org).
QuickBooks Online MCP Server (Official)
| Server | Stars | Language | License | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| intuit/quickbooks-online-mcp-server | 108 | TypeScript | Apache-2.0 | 11 entity types |
Intuit's official server. 11 entity types (Account, Bill, Customer, Employee, Invoice, etc.) with CRUD + Search. OAuth 2.0 with automatic browser flow.
Community QuickBooks (laf-rge)
| Server | Stars | Tools | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| laf-rge/quickbooks-mcp | 4 | 30+ | Draft-by-default safety, natural language name resolution, SQL-like queries |
Despite low stars, the draft-by-default safety model makes this arguably more practical for daily bookkeeping than the official server.
Zoho Books
kkeeling/zoho-mcp (37 stars, 20+ tools) — invoices, contacts, expenses, inventory, sales orders, 7 Zoho regions. bu5hm4nn/zoho-bookkeeper-mcp (0 stars, 37 tools) — file upload support, curated tool set, Docker-ready.
Wave & FreshBooks
vinnividivicci/wave_mcp (9 stars, 10 tools) — free accounting platform, expense tracking, multi-business. roboulos/freshbooks-mcp (0 stars, 5 tools) — invoicing and time tracking via Xano auth.
Enterprise: Sage Intacct
Official MCP server via Developer Portal, built on Sage AI Gateway. One of very few enterprise accounting vendors with official MCP support.
Plain-Text Accounting
| Server | Stars | Tools | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| minhyeoky/mcp-server-ledger | 45 | 9 | Ledger CLI |
| vanto/beanquery-mcp | 41 | 2 | Beancount (BQL queries) |
| StdioA/beancount-mcp | 8 | 1 | Beancount (transaction submission) |
Ledger CLI gets the most complete MCP integration with 9 tools for balances, registers, budgets, and statistics. Beancount has BQL query access plus transaction writing.
Notable Gaps
No tax preparation (TurboTax, H&R Block, Avalara). No payroll-first servers. No bank feed integration (Plaid, Yodlee). No expense management (Expensify, Brex, Ramp). No audit trail or SOC 2 logging.
Rating: 4.0/5
One of the strongest MCP verticals. Two official vendor servers (Xero and QuickBooks) plus Sage make this production-ready. Plain-text accounting well-served. Main weakness: breadth beyond the major platforms.
