QuickBooks MCP Integration for Cursor
Connect QuickBooks to Cursor through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect QuickBooks to Cursor
Expose selected local integrations to Cursor through KosmoKrator without configuring each service as its own MCP server.
Create or update .cursor/mcp.json with a KosmoKrator stdio server entry. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so Cursor can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
QuickBooks MCP Config for Cursor
Use the same KosmoKrator install and integration credentials that power terminal and headless runs.
