Overview
What is Qb Auto?
Qb Auto is an MCP server that gives Claude Code native tools for QuickBooks Online automation. It replaces large browser_snapshot round-trips with targeted DOM extraction (~200–500 tokens) and compound Playwright actions that complete entire workflows in one tool call.
How to use Qb Auto?
Install Python 3.10+, the mcp and playwright packages, and a Chrome browser running with remote debugging on port 9222. Register the server with Claude Code by adding a quickbooks entry to ~/.mcp.json that points to server.py. Claude can then call any of the 15 tools directly.
Key features of Qb Auto
- 15 tools for QuickBooks Online: invoices, payments, reports, and more
- Typical token savings of 91–95% over browser snapshot workflows
- Uses ARIA-stable selectors that survive QBO page reloads
- No intermediate browser snapshots — one tool call completes an operation
- Extractors return compact JSON (~200 tokens) instead of full-page DOM
Use cases of Qb Auto
- Record a payment: Claude calls a single tool that navigates, fills, saves, and confirms
- Create an invoice with line items without manual browser steps
- Run any of 30+ QBO report types (P&L, Balance Sheet, A/R Aging, etc.)
- Batch‑receive multiple payments in sequence
- Edit existing payment amounts or delete line items on an invoice
Frequently asked questions
What are the runtime requirements?
Python 3.10+, the `mcp` and `playwright` packages, and a Chrome browser started with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`.
How does Qb Auto connect to QuickBooks Online?
It connects to the Chrome browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) on port 9222, then navigates to QBO and extracts data from the DOM using injected JavaScript.
Does Qb Auto store any data?
No. All operations happen live in the user’s QBO session; the server only returns compact JSON results from the current page state.
Can I use Qb Auto with a different port?
Yes. Set the `CDP_PORT` variable in `server.py` to use a port other than the default 9222.
