Can I access data from multiple accounting platforms like QuickBooks and Xero simultaneously?

Yes! Railz normalizes data across all supported providers. Use the `list_businesses` and `list_connections` tools to identify the target entity, then query reports which will return in a consistent format regardless of the underlying source.

How do I retrieve a Balance Sheet for a specific company connection?

First, find the relevant `connection_id` for the business using `list_connections`. Then, use the `get_balance_sheet` tool with that ID to fetch the snapshot of assets and liabilities.

Does this integration allow creating new invoices or only reading them?

The current toolset focuses on read-only operations for auditing and analysis, such as `list_invoices`, `list_bills`, and `list_accounts`. This ensures safe exploration of financial data without accidental modifications.

Railz + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Railz MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Railz tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
