Meridian Connector for QuickBooks Tools & Capabilities (64)
Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- Writes are immediate and unstaged. Pilot's terms state that write tools update read-write companies immediately when invoked, and that you are solely responsible for those updates. There is no preview, approval queue or dry-run step between the agent's decision and the ledger.
- Intuit documents no API path back from a delete. Its Accounting API describes Delete as removing the object and is silent on recovery; the documented remedy lives in end-user support material and is manual re-entry from the audit log. Three tools in this listing delete.
qbo.writedoes not subdivide. No scope separates creating from deleting. The only read/write boundary the product offers is per company, set at connection time.- One user per client company. Pilot's FAQ states shared access to the same client is not supported yet, and directs firms needing it to email
qbo-mcp@pilot.com. - No review or close workflow. Pilot describes this as intentionally a lightweight connector with no workflow management, review, or end-to-end close process, and points firms needing those at the full Meridian platform.
- Provided as-is. Pilot's terms disclaim express and implied warranties and place responsibility for selecting the correct company, crafting inputs, reviewing output and verifying changes on the user. For a system of record holding a company's books, read that clause before granting read-write.
- US business use only. Pilot's privacy policy states the Connector is intended for business rather than personal use by users in the United States.
- We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter-level detail is published here and the read/write classification above is ours rather than the server's declaration.
- Pilot publishes no tool list. The 64 names come from Anthropic's directory snapshot. Nothing on Pilot's site enumerates them, so the listing cannot be diffed against a vendor enumeration.
- Whether an invoice write can email a customer is unresolved. No tool name carries a send verb and Pilot does not address it. We could not establish it either way.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Anthropic's directory lists delete_entity, delete_transaction and delete_attachment among the 64 tools. Intuit's Accounting API documents Delete as an endpoint that removes the object and says nothing about undoing it; its support material addresses recovery only as re-entering the transaction by hand from the audit log. Prefer voiding.
Voiding is reversible bookkeeping; deleting is not. The connector exposes both, as void_entity and void_invoice alongside delete_entity and delete_transaction. Intuit documents them as separate operations: voiding leaves the transaction active with all amounts zeroed and Voided written into its private note, while deleting removes the object entirely.
More than 64. Nine of its tools take a QuickBooks entity type as an argument rather than naming one, so create_entity, update_entity, delete_entity, void_entity and set_entity_active reach every entity type Intuit's Accounting API supports. The tool count measures the interface, not the reach into your books.
Yes, and it is per company. Pilot's FAQ states you choose read-only or read-write access separately for each company when you connect it, and that reconnecting a company changes its access level later. Pilot's terms add that read-only companies cannot be changed through the Connector, so the guard is server-side.
No. The server's own descriptor advertised exactly qbo.read, qbo.write and offline_access on 2026-08-22. Write is one undivided grant, so any authorisation that lets an agent create an invoice also lets it delete a journal entry. The boundary that matters is the per-company read-only setting, not the scope list.
It records payments but does not send them. Pilot's terms state plainly that the Connector does not initiate payments or move money. Tools like create_bill_payment and create_deposit write the accounting record of a payment into QuickBooks; no funds transfer results from calling them.
No, and Pilot explains why it built a separate one. Pilot's FAQ states the official connector cannot read transaction-level details, only run reports, and cannot create journal entries or arbitrary other objects. Intuit's own MCP server is a different project again — self-hosted, 145 tools, one tool per entity per verb.
Pilot says it does not keep a copy of your books. Its FAQ states the connector processes QuickBooks data only to answer your requests, then sends the result onward and does not retain it. Pilot does retain encrypted QuickBooks credentials, company identifiers, your Intuit account details and limited operational logs.
Not yet. Pilot's FAQ states that only one user can access a given client company today and that shared access to the same client is not supported. Its launch announcement repeats the limit and points firms needing shared access, review and close workflow at the full Meridian product instead.
