Financial Cents MCP server
Financial Cents launched an MCP server that connects a firm's Financial Cents account to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, so staff can ask about overdue work or unpaid invoices and have the assistant log time or create tasks.
Why it matters
For accounting, bookkeeping and tax firms that run their workflow in Financial Cents and already use a general AI assistant. It lets the assistant read and update practice-management data within the user's existing permissions instead of staff copying data out of the app.
What's new
- Connects one Financial Cents firm account to MCP clients; Financial Cents names Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Cursor.unverified
- Read examples from the maker: overdue work by assignee, unpaid invoices and outstanding totals, unbilled time, clients missing tax documents, proposals awaiting signature.
- Write examples from the maker: logging time, creating tasks, sending client reminders, uploading files to a project and adding service items. Financial Cents says the assistant confirms before making changes.
- Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (no API keys); each connection is bound to a single firm, tool calls are audited and rate limited, and deletes are not available over the MCP.
- Financial Cents' changelog lists the MCP's initial release on Oct 5, 2026; the formal announcement came Oct 20, 2026.

Worth knowing: Connecting an AI assistant gives that AI provider access to client names, engagement status, invoices and documents in your Financial Cents account, and the connection can write data. Check your AI provider's data-retention terms and your engagement letters before connecting, and limit which staff accounts connect.
