Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add quickbooks-mcp -- npx -y quickbooks-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "quickbooks-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.quickbooks-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "quickbooks-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbooks-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "quickbooks-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

        "quickbooks-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: QBO_CLIENT_ID (QuickBooks app Client ID from developer.intuit.com), QBO_CLIENT_SECRET (QuickBooks app Client Secret from developer.intuit.com), QBO_CREDENTIAL_MODE (Credential storage mode: 'local' (default) or 'aws'), QBO_SANDBOX (Set to 'true' to use QuickBooks sandbox environment). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Quickbooks MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Quickbooks MCP?
Quickbooks 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 npm package quickbooks-mcp was installed 228 times last week.
How do I connect Quickbooks MCP?
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 quickbooks-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Quickbooks MCP?
The npm package quickbooks-mcp was installed 228 times in the last week. Week over week that is -34%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Quickbooks MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 13 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
