QuickBooks

Try it

Find and work with QuickBooks customers, transactions, vendors, expenses, and reports through available runtime tools.

What it does

Access QuickBooks context for customers, invoices, payments, expenses, vendors, and financial reports through tools available in the active runtime. It first inspects available tool schemas and uses the smallest read path to identify the requested record or report. Accounting-affecting writes require clear user intent and a read of the current object state.

When to use it

  • Looking up a customer or vendor
  • Finding an invoice or payment
  • Reviewing expenses
  • Retrieving a financial report

The skill document

QuickBooks

Quick start

This skill has the shared mcporter wrapper scripts, but no skill-local mcporter.json is registered for QuickBooks yet. Do not call bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh until a provider MCP manifest is added. In current runtime, inspect the available QuickBooks tools first, then use the smallest read path that can identify the customer, invoice, payment, expense, vendor, or report target.

When a QuickBooks MCP manifest is added, follow the same wrapper rule as Linear: invoke through bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh, never call mcporter directly, and discover tool schemas before choosing tool names.

Safety

Write operations that create, update, delete, send, void, or sync customers, invoices, payments, expenses, vendors, and accounting records can affect financial books. Confirm clear user intent before invoking write tools, and read current object state before any money-moving or accounting-affecting change.

Authentication

Tokens are provisioned and rotated automatically. If available runtime tools return HTTP 401 that doesn't recover within a few seconds, the OAuth grant has been revoked — re-authorize the integration to refresh credentials.

Data flow

No provider-owned QuickBooks MCP endpoint is registered in this repository yet. Runtime tool calls, if present in the active OpenClaw environment, use Maverick-provisioned OAuth credentials and expose QuickBooks customer, invoice, payment, expense, vendor, and report data to the active tool provider. Use this skill for QuickBooks-related work only; do not pass unrelated sensitive content through these tools.

Dependencies

  • mcporter (github.com/steipete/mcporter) — MCP CLI used by the shared wrapper once a QuickBooks MCP manifest exists. Auto-installed via npm install -g --ignore-scripts mcporter if missing on PATH (see install spec in frontmatter). The install spec uses unpinned mcporter (npm latest); operators with strict supply-chain controls should override the install to pin a specific version (e.g. mcporter@).
  • jq (stedolan.github.io/jq) — JSON processor used by the vault initializer. System dependency; install via your OS package manager (apt install jq, brew install jq, etc.).
  • flock (part of util-linux) — file locking used to serialize concurrent vault writes. Available by default on Linux; on macOS install via brew install flock.
  • shasum (Perl, ships with Digest::SHA) — computes the SHA-256 hashes used to derive the mcporter vault key and the provisioned-token marker. Preinstalled on macOS and on Debian/Ubuntu (incl. the deployed cloudflare/sandbox Ubuntu 22.04 image); on minimal Linux images install perl-Digest-SHA. The script invokes shasum -a 256 rather than GNU sha256sum so it runs on stock macOS without coreutils.

Questions people ask

Can it create or update QuickBooks records?
Only when suitable runtime write tools are available. Before creating, updating, deleting, sending, voiding, or syncing financial records, it must confirm clear user intent and read the current object state.
Does the repository include a configured QuickBooks MCP endpoint?
No. There is currently no skill-local mcporter manifest or provider-owned QuickBooks MCP endpoint registered, so it must inspect QuickBooks tools available in the active runtime instead of calling the shared wrapper.
What happens if QuickBooks authentication returns HTTP 401?
Tokens are normally provisioned and rotated automatically. If a 401 does not recover within a few seconds, the OAuth grant has been revoked and the integration must be re-authorized.
