---

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude direct access to your QuickBooks Online data. Instead of logging into QuickBooks and clicking through reports, just ask Claude:

> "Show me all overdue invoices sorted by amount" > "What's our P&L this quarter?" > "Create an invoice for Acme Corp for $2,500"

The server handles OAuth authentication, API calls, rate limiting, and data formatting.
