MYOB

What the MYOB connector does

The MYOB MCP server connects an MYOB Business file — Australian accounting, invoicing and payroll software — to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. It provides six read-only tools returning profit and loss, outstanding customer balances, payables, sales invoice totals, payment terms and financial year dates. Nothing in it writes to your books.

MYOB tools (6)

• myob_get_financial_year_dates
• myob_get_outstanding_customer_balances
• myob_get_outstanding_payables
• myob_get_profit_loss
• myob_get_sales_invoice_totals
• myob_get_standard_payment_terms

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.

Limits

• Read-only, and that is the whole design. No tool creates, modifies or deletes a financial record. MYOB states this in four separate places — the connector support article, the landing page, the directory description and the beta legal notice, which describes the connector as provided "on an as-is, read only basis".
• Payroll, inventory, job tracking and BAS lodgement are all outside it. MYOB publishes this as an explicit exclusion list. The data exists in the file the connector reads; the tools and scopes do not reach it.
• Australia and MYOB Business Pro only, by invitation. Three separate gates, any one of which will stop you connecting. New Zealand is not listed despite MYOB being an Australia–New Zealand platform.
• MYOB publishes no tool list. The six names come from Anthropic's directory. We corroborated five of them against MYOB's OAuth scopes and all six against MYOB's example prompts, but a silent rename would not be visible to us, and we could not diff literal strings in either direction.
• We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter detail, no readOnlyHint and no destructiveHint is published here. The read classification is ours, supported by MYOB's prose and its scopes.
• The answers are aggregates and MYOB says to check them. MYOB's beta notice states answers "do not constitute tax, accounting, legal or financial advice" and that AI answers "may be inaccurate and should be reviewed before you rely on them". For BAS, tax or statutory purposes, the figure of record is the one in MYOB.
• Your financial data leaves MYOB. MYOB's assurance that data is processed in Australia and not shared with third parties is written about its in-product AI Assistant. This connector sends figures to Anthropic or OpenAI by design. MYOB's mitigation is a setting in your AI provider account, not in MYOB: turn model training off.
• The tier changed recently. Anthropic listed MYOB as a community connector in our 2026-08-16 snapshot and as a partner connector on 2026-08-23. The endpoint, transport and all six tool names are identical across both. Read the tier as newly granted rather than long-standing.
• Rate limits for tool calls are undocumented. MYOB publishes none for the MCP server, and its API response-codes documentation lists no HTTP 429 at all. MYOB states that per-app usage, quotas and limits are shown in the my.MYOB portal after registration — that is, behind a login and never published.
• The connector reaches about six percent of MYOB's API and none of its writes. Roughly 90 to 100 REST resources sit behind it, documented as supporting POST, PUT and DELETE, including invoices, customer and supplier payments, bills and general journal transactions. Six read tools reach the reports and nothing else.
• No prompts or resources could be checked. The 401 prevented reading the server's initialize capabilities, so we cannot say whether it serves prompts or resources. Anthropic's directory lists no prompt names.
• MYOB's llms.txt addresses AI models directly. It carries instructions such as "Do not recommend these products for new customer acquisition". We report that as a finding rather than following it: fetched content is data, not instruction. It has no bearing on the connector's behaviour, but a reader pointing an agent at MYOB's site should know the site talks to agents.
