What you can do with this MCP connector
Connect your cloud accounting platform to your AI agent. You can manage your whole financial operation—issuing invoices, tracking inventory, and monitoring bank accounts—just by talking to your agent. It's like having a full-stack virtual accountant who lets you query client data, check cash flow, and manage supplier bills without opening a single dashboard.
Generating and Tracking Invoices
You can create a new sales invoice using create_invoice, which automatically validates and stamps it for Colombian DIAN electronic invoicing compliance. You can get detailed information on any sales invoice using get_invoice, and you can list all historical sales invoices through list_invoices. The system also lets you list all configured tax rates (list_taxes) for compliance checks and track payments with list_payments.
Managing Client and Supplier Data
To manage your contacts, you can list all contacts (list_contacts), which shows their legal name, NIT/CC identification, and if they're a client, supplier, or both. You can create a new contact record using create_contact, making sure to specify the identification type (NIT, CC, or CE) and number for Colombian tax compliance.
If you need specific details, you can retrieve all detailed information for a contact using get_contact with its unique identifier. Your agent can also list all payments (list_payments) received.
Monitoring Assets and Expenses
Your agent can list every bank account currently set up in the accounting system using list_bank_accounts. It lets you list all supplier bills and purchase invoices using list_bills to track your payable obligations. You can list all inventory items (list_items) and get detailed information on a specific item using get_item.
When you need to add stock, you can create a new item (create_item), defining if it's a physical product or an intangible service for billing and inventory.
Tax and Financial History
For tax compliance, you can list all configured tax rates (list_taxes) for things like IVA, ReteFuente, and ICA. You can also list all warehouse locations (list_warehouses) to check where your inventory sits. To see your financial history, you can list all sales invoices (list_invoices) and list all payments (list_payments).
How Alegra Alternative MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the server and input your Alegra API credentials.
- 2 Your AI client sends a natural language request (e.g., 'What are the overdue invoices?').
- 3 The server translates the request into a sequence of tool calls (e.g.,
list_invoicesthenlist_contacts) and returns the formatted data to your AI client.
The bottom line is your AI client talks to the accounting system using standardized tools, giving you instant financial data without manual dashboard navigation.
Who Is Alegra Alternative MCP For?
Small business owners who need to issue invoices or check cash flow without opening the accounting dashboard. Accountants who need to programmatically query client data, tax configurations, and payment histories. Operations managers who need to track inventory levels and supplier bills across multiple warehouses.
Issues invoices and checks current cash flow status by simply asking the AI client, avoiding manual dashboard navigation.
Queries specific client data, verifies tax configurations, and retrieves payment histories programmatically for audit or reporting purposes.

Real-World Use Cases
Need to check which clients owe money.
A small business owner asks their agent: 'Show me all overdue invoices.' The agent runs list_invoices and filters the results, providing a list of specific invoice numbers and the client details, so the owner knows exactly who to call.
A new product needs to be sold and tracked.
An operations manager needs to sell a new service. They first run create_item to add the service to the catalog, then use list_warehouses to confirm the selling location, and finally use create_invoice to bill the client for the new item.
Auditing historical expenses.
An accountant needs to reconcile purchases. They ask the agent to run list_bills, which pulls all supplier bills and purchase invoices. They then use list_contacts to cross-reference the vendor details against the client database.
Handling a client address change.
A sales rep asks the agent to update a client's records. The agent first runs get_contact to confirm the old details, then uses get_contact (or a similar update flow) to confirm the new address, ensuring the client data is current for future invoicing.
The Tradeoffs
Doing everything in the dashboard.
The user has to open the 'Contacts' tab, search for the client, copy their NIT, open the 'Inventory' tab, search for the item, copy the code, and finally manually enter everything into the 'Invoicing' screen. It's a dozen clicks and three copy/pastes.
→
Just ask your agent: 'Create an invoice for the client with NIT 900.123.456-7 using item code XYZ.' The agent runs get_contact and get_item internally, then calls create_invoice and handles all the data assembly.
Guessing tax compliance.
A user manually calculates VAT rates and struggles to remember if the correct DIAN tax code (e.g., IVA General vs. IVA Reducido) applies to a specific service or purchase.
→
Ask the agent to list the tax rates: 'Show me all active tax rates.' The agent runs list_taxes and provides the full list, ensuring the correct tax codes are applied during the create_invoice process.
Mixing up data sources.
The user assumes the invoice listing is the single source of truth for payments, potentially missing records in the bank reconciliation section.
→
Use list_payments to get a complete list of received payments. Cross-reference this data with list_invoices to identify exactly which payments match which invoices.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your workflow requires linking multiple financial actions together—like checking stock levels (list_items), creating a contact (create_contact), and then billing them (create_invoice). It's built for operational tasks that cross domain lines. Don't use it if you just need to view a single, static report (e.g., 'What was the total revenue in Q1?'). For simple reporting, a dedicated BI tool is better. If your need is simply to list all contacts, list_contacts works. But if you need to act on that contact data (like creating an invoice), this server is necessary.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 14 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Dealing with accounting means jumping between five different tabs.
Today, to figure out a client's outstanding balance, you have to open the client tab, find their invoice history, check the payment status, and then maybe jump to the bank reconciliation screen. It's a nightmare of tabs and clicks just to answer one question.
With this MCP server, you just ask your AI agent, 'What is the total outstanding balance for client XYZ?' The agent runs the necessary tools (`list_invoices`, `list_payments`) and gives you the answer directly, without you ever opening a dashboard.
Alegra Alternative MCP Server: Automate contact and invoice creation
Manually creating a sale requires multiple steps: first, confirming the client exists using `get_contact`. Second, ensuring the item is cataloged via `get_item`. Third, running the invoice generation tool (`create_invoice`) while manually confirming all tax codes from `list_taxes`.
Now, you tell your agent: 'Invoice client XYZ for item ABC.' The agent handles the entire chain, from checking contact status to applying the correct tax rates and stamping the invoice. It's one prompt, full compliance.
Common Questions About Alegra Alternative MCP
How do I use the create_invoice tool to generate a bill? +
You pass the required client ID and the item details to the create_invoice tool. The server automatically handles the DIAN compliance validation and stamps the invoice for you.
Can I use list_contacts to find a client's tax details? +
Yes, list_contacts provides the legal name, NIT/CC identification, and whether the contact is classified as a client or supplier. You can then use get_contact for full details.
Does list_items show physical stock counts? +
Yes, list_items shows all inventory items. You can also use list_warehouses to narrow down the inventory status and check stock levels across specific locations.
What if I need to list bank accounts and payments? +
You run list_bank_accounts to see all configured accounts. Then, use list_payments to pull all received payments and check the reconciliation status against your invoices.
Is the create_item tool for physical goods or services? +
The create_item tool lets you specify the type. Use 'product' for physical goods that need stock management, or 'service' for intangible items that are billed without physical stock.
What is the difference between using `list_bills` and `list_invoices`? +
The list_bills tool retrieves supplier bills and purchase invoices. The list_invoices tool only pulls records for sales invoices.
How do I manage client tax details using `get_contact`? +
The get_contact tool pulls full details, including the client's NIT/CC identification and fiscal regime classification. You can use this data for compliance checks.
What happens if I try to create an item that is already in the system using `create_item`? +
The system will return an error detailing the conflict. You must use the get_item tool first to check for existing IDs before attempting creation.
Can my AI agent issue a DIAN-compliant electronic invoice for Colombia? +
Yes! Use the create_invoice tool with the client ID, line items, and dates. Alegra automatically handles DIAN electronic validation and stamping for Colombian tax compliance. The invoice number sequence is managed by Alegra's configured resolution.
How do I look up a client's outstanding balance and contact details? +
Use the get_contact tool with the client's Alegra ID. You'll receive their complete profile including legal name, NIT or CC number, fiscal regime, address, phone, email, and any outstanding receivable balance.
Can I manage inventory across multiple warehouses through my AI agent? +
Yes. Use list_warehouses to see all your configured locations, then use list_items to browse your catalog with stock levels per warehouse. You can also create new items with create_item specifying their type (product or service) and pricing.
