Freshbooks Mcp

Overview

Freshbooks Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that brings FreshBooks invoicing directly into Claude and other AI assistants. Work with invoices, clients, estimates, and payments through natural conversation — the AI decides when to use these tools based on what you need.

The server runs locally via the npm package @chrischall/freshbooks-mcp, communicating over stdio on your machine. Set up requires three environment variables: FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID, FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET, and FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN. Version 0.4.0 is available now under the MIT license, with full source code on GitHub at chrischall/freshbooks-mcp.

Freshbooks Mcp is categorized as Finance and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership, earn the Verified badge, and keep information up to date.
