This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: QB_ACCESS_TOKEN (QuickBooks OAuth2 bearer access token. Expires in 1hr — caller is responsible for refresh via Intuit's OAuth2 auth_code flow.), QB_REALM_ID (QuickBooks company id (realmId). Issued when a user authorizes your app against a specific company.), QB_ENV (QuickBooks environment: 'sandbox' (default) or 'production'. Selects sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com vs quickbooks.api.intuit.com.), QB_MINOR_VERSION (QuickBooks API minor version. Defaults to 70.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Quickbooks — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Quickbooks?
MCP Quickbooks runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @codespar/mcp-quickbooks was installed 23 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Quickbooks?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @codespar/mcp-quickbooks straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Quickbooks?
The npm package @codespar/mcp-quickbooks was installed 23 times in the last week. Week over week that is +4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Quickbooks open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 271 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
