MCP support
The TOPY.AI CFO MCP server provides finance operations to connected clients; a local stdio server is also available for clients that only run local servers. It connects through OAuth, with Stripe and QuickBooks connected in the TOPY.AI dashboard.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

TOPY AI CFO Skills
22 skills that make your coding agent a small company's AI CFO, accountant and bookkeeper: Stripe into QuickBooks, bank feed matching and bank rules, month-end close, management accounts, reports to the other c-levels, runway and UK compliance — on the TOPY.AI CFO MCP server.
The AI CFO is goal-first. It keeps four standing goals — cash safety (runway above the floor), books closed (every month closed and reconciled by the 10th), compliance (no deadline missed) and unit economics — and every routine below exists to move one of them.
- Core (
topy-ai-cfo): connect, the daily brief, the CFO's goals, first-time setup. - Bookkeeping: categorising transactions (UK treatment), the month-end close, journals, share capital.
- Stripe (service agent): Stripe into the books (monthly journals + payout transfers that reconcile to Stripe's balance), revenue operations (failed payments, disputes), and money moves through Stripe's official MCP.
- QuickBooks (service agent): bank-feed matching and bank rules driven in Chrome where QuickBooks has no API, reconciliation, locking a closed month, reports.
- Reporting: management accounts, one-screen reports for the CEO, CMO, CTO, CRO, CPO, COO, CSO and the board, runway.
- Compliance (UK): Companies House and HMRC deadlines (including the split first CT period), the VAT threshold, year-end.
Every change in TOPY, QuickBooks or Stripe takes two calls: a preview the agent shows you, then a confirmed call after you say yes. Skills never confirm for you, never move money, and never type your passwords.

AI CFO core (MCP) · topy-ai-cfo
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
topy-cfo-brief | core | The founder's daily money check in five lines — cash in the banks and Stripe, runway, last month's close, the next deadline, anything failed or disputed — silent when nothing changed. |
topy-cfo-connect | core | Connects the founder's AI CFO — the TOPY CFO MCP server, Stripe (read-only key), QuickBooks (sign in with Intuit) and the company facts from Companies House. |
topy-cfo-goals | core | Sets the AI CFO's goals — cash safety, books closed on time, zero late filings, healthy unit economics — as objectives under the CEO's goal tree, so every finance task serves one. |
topy-cfo-setup | core | The first set-up of a small UK company's books with the AI CFO — company facts, share capital as Companies House shows it, Stripe booked month by month, bank transfers paired, suppliers and bank rules — until every bank and Stripe account equals reality. |
Bookkeeping & close · topy-ai-cfo-bookkeeping
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
topy-cfo-categorise | connected | How a UK bookkeeper categorises a small company's transactions — which account, the tax effect, and when to ask — with suppliers created in QuickBooks. |
topy-cfo-journals | core | Books the journals a bookkeeper needs — accruals, prepayments, reclassifications, corrections — balanced, numbered once and previewed before they reach QuickBooks. |
topy-cfo-month-end-close | core | Closes a month the way a senior accountant does — Stripe booked and reconciled, bank feed cleared, nothing uncategorised, every bank reconciled to its statement — then management accounts and the c-level reports. |
topy-cfo-share-capital | core | Keeps share capital as Companies House shows it — shares issued at their nominal value, what each shareholder still owes, and their payments booked against it, not as income. |
Stripe service agent · topy-ai-cfo-stripe
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
stripe-official-mcp | connected | When money must move in Stripe — a refund, a payment link, a subscription change — the CFO drafts it and the founder does it through Stripe's official MCP server or dashboard, never through TOPY's read-only key. |
stripe-revenue-ops | core | The CFO's watch on Stripe — balance and payouts, the month's sales, refunds and fees, failed payments and disputes — with the chasing handed to the CRO. |
stripe-to-books | core | Books Stripe in QuickBooks the way an accountant does — one journal per month (sales by plan, refunds, fees) and one transfer per payout — so the Stripe account always equals Stripe's balance and each payout matches the bank. |
QuickBooks service agent · topy-ai-cfo-quickbooks
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
qbo-bank-feed-match | core | Matches QuickBooks' bank feed in Chrome — Stripe payouts to their transfers, transfers between the company's own accounts paired — acting only where the date and amount match exactly, with every key press checked first. |
qbo-bank-rules | core | Creates QuickBooks bank rules in Chrome from the CFO's rule list — supplier, account, conditions, auto-post — testing each rule's match count before saving, so recurring transactions post themselves correctly. |
qbo-close-books | core | After a close, sets QuickBooks' closing date in Chrome (with the founder's yes) so nobody changes a reported month by accident. |
qbo-reconcile | core | Reconciles each bank account to its statement — record the statement balance, compare it with QuickBooks, find the difference — and, with the founder, completes QuickBooks' own Reconcile in Chrome. |
qbo-reports | core | Reads QuickBooks' reports — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, general ledger, aged debtors and creditors — and explains them in plain words with the figures behind them. |
Reporting & runway · topy-ai-cfo-reporting
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
topy-cfo-clevel-reports | core | One-screen finance reports for each AI cofounder — CEO, CMO, CTO, CRO, CPO, COO, CSO — and the board, each with the numbers that role owns, its flags, and the questions the CFO needs that role to answer. |
topy-cfo-management-accounts | core | The month's management accounts in one page — P&L against last month, cash and runway, balance sheet highlights, KPIs and the CFO's commentary — built from QuickBooks and Stripe after the close. |
topy-cfo-runway | core | How long the cash lasts, the cash floor, and what to do about it — from real monthly net in QuickBooks and Stripe's pending balance, with three costed options when runway is under 12 months. |
UK compliance · topy-ai-cfo-compliance
| Skill | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
topy-cfo-uk-deadlines | core | Every UK company deadline in one list — annual accounts, Corporation Tax payment and CT600 (split when the first period is over 12 months), confirmation statement — from Companies House, with days left and who does it. |
topy-cfo-vat-watch | core | Watches taxable turnover over the rolling 12 months against the UK VAT registration threshold (£90,000) and warns early, so the company registers on time — or confirms it doesn't need to. |
topy-cfo-year-end | core | Gets a financial year ready for the statutory accounts and the CT600 — every month closed, trial balance, year-end adjustments, tax add-backs — as a checklist with figures for the founder or their accountant. |

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
