Put your own values in place of <MANAGER_API_URL> (Manager API base URL (include /api2 when required)), <MANAGER_API_KEY> (Access token from Manager Settings (sent as X-API-KEY)). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MANAGER_MCP_WRITE_SCOPES (Comma-separated write scopes: quotes,orders,parties,items,sales,purchases,banking,payroll,ledger,raw. Recommended: banking,sales,parties), MANAGER_MCP_DELETE_SCOPES (Comma-separated delete scopes (never implied by write scopes)).

Manager.io MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Manager.io MCP?

Manager.io MCP 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 pypi package manager-mcp was installed 121 times last week.

How do I connect Manager.io MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls manager-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Manager.io MCP?

The pypi package manager-mcp was installed 121 times in the last week. Week over week that is -28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Manager.io MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
