Laravel QuickBooks MCP Server: Connect QuickBooks Online to AI Clients

Laravel QuickBooks MCP Server by Raju Rayhan is a Laravel package that exposes QuickBooks Online (QBO) as an MCP server over HTTP transport. It provides 50 MCP tools across 11 QBO entities — customers, vendors, invoices, bills, estimates, etc. — letting AI agents perform full CRUD operations on your books.

The package requires PHP 8.2+, Laravel 11+, and uses laravel/mcp for the protocol layer and spinen/laravel-quickbooks-client for QuickBooks API access.

#Automatic Name-to-ID Resolution

When AI agents reference entities, they can use human-readable names instead of QuickBooks internal IDs. The package resolves names automatically:

# Both of these work when creating a bill:
vendor: "Office Depot"
vendor: "42"

If a name can't be resolved, the tool returns a descriptive error suggesting the relevant search tool to find the correct entity.

#Multi-Tenant Isolation

Each authenticated user maintains one active QuickBooks connection tracked in a quickbooks_connections table. The ResolveQuickBooksRealm middleware scopes every tool call to the correct company automatically — AI agents never need to specify realm or company IDs:

Route::middleware([
    'api',
    'auth:api', // or 'sanctum'
    ResolveQuickBooksRealm::class,
    RefreshQuickBooksToken::class,
])->group(function () {
    Mcp::server(QuickBooksServer::class)
        ->at(config('quickbooks-mcp.path'));
});

A RefreshQuickBooksToken middleware proactively refreshes OAuth tokens before they expire, with a configurable buffer (default: 5 minutes).

#Built-in OAuth Flow

The package ships with a complete OAuth 2.0 flow for connecting QuickBooks companies. After adding the HasQuickBooksToken trait to your User model and setting your Intuit credentials in .env, four routes handle the connection lifecycle:

#Entity-Aware Delete Behavior

The package respects QuickBooks' deletion rules per entity type:

#Getting Started

Install the package and publish its assets:

composer require rajurayhan/laravel-quickbooks-mcp-server
 
php artisan vendor:publish \
    --provider="Raju\QuickBooksMcp\QuickBooksMcpServiceProvider"

Then configure your Intuit OAuth credentials in .env:

QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
QUICKBOOKS_REDIRECT_URI=https://yourdomain.com/quickbooks/callback
QUICKBOOKS_DATA_SOURCE=production
