Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check sevDesk every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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.

}

Put your own value in place of <SEVDESK_API_TOKEN> (sevDesk API token (Settings > Users > API token). It has full access to the account; ideally create it for a dedicated user. To keep it out of the client configuration, set up the server by hand with SEVDESK_API_TOKEN_KEYCHAIN (OS keychain) or SEVDESK_API_TOKEN_FILE instead: https://sevdeskmcp.lanfermann.dev/docs/en/configuration#token). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: SEVDESK_ALLOW (Comma-separated permission tiers to enable: read, write, commit, external, or all. Tools above the allowed tiers are not registered. read is always on), SEVDESK_READ_ONLY (Set to true to allow only read tools, whatever SEVDESK_ALLOW says), SEVDESK_DRY_RUN (Set to true to make write tools only return a preview of what they would do, without sending anything), SEVDESK_CONFIRM (How a human confirms commit and external actions: elicit (in the client), browser (local approval page) or off (also needs SEVDESK_I_UNDERSTAND_NO_CONFIRM=1)), SEVDESK_AUDIT_LOG (Path of a local JSON Lines file that records every write the server makes (redacted). Unset: no audit log), SEVDESK_TOOLSETS (Comma-separated toolsets to load, e.g. invoices,vouchers,banking. Unset loads all except advanced; all adds advanced), SEVDESK_FILE_DIRS (Absolute folders (separated like PATH) that receipts and e-invoices may be read from, for voucher uploads and e-invoice import. Unset: no local file is read), SEVDESK_OUTPUT_DIR (Folder where PDFs, e-invoice XML, CSV and DATEV exports may be saved. Unset: the file-saving tools are not offered).

sevDesk — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for sevDesk?
sevDesk 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 mcp-server-sevdesk.
How do I connect sevDesk?
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 mcp-server-sevdesk straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is sevDesk open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 12 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
