Text for your agent

Enable the XML port in Tally Prime (F1, Settings, Connectivity, Client/Server: TallyPrime acts as Server, port 9000). Download the archive or `.mcpb` via the README links and connect the server in the client. If writes are not needed, set `BLOCK_WRITE=1`.

Access and checks

How we review

Broad accessThe tool can change data, run commands or handle secrets.

  • Write tools create vouchers and delete masters in the accounting database.
  • Remote mode exposes company data behind a password.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server connects an agent to Tally Prime through its XML port (9000 by default) and gives ERP data to the model. Twenty tools return masters (groups, ledgers, godowns, stock items, currencies), reports and vouchers. Report results land in built-in pglite tables, which the agent queries with SQL. Write tools exist too: creating and updating ledgers, journal vouchers and deleting masters. The `BLOCK_WRITE=1` variable hides them from the tool list entirely. The server runs locally, for example in Claude Desktop through the `.mcpb` extension, or as a remote MCP with OAuth login and a password.

Who it is for. Accountants and finance staff on Tally Prime who want to ask about vouchers, balances and reports in plain language.

Good fit when

  • You need receivables by counterparty from Tally quickly.
  • An agent builds a voucher summary and computes totals with a SQL query.
  • An accountant wants to enter a batch of journal vouchers through the agent.
  • The server runs remotely to connect ChatGPT or Claude without a Windows client.

Not a fit when

  • The Educational version of Tally is used: the date limit corrupts data for the model.
  • There is no company backup yet and write tools are needed.
  • Tally Prime is not running and the XML port is off.

Example request

Show the trial balance for the Debtors group for the quarter and find the five largest balances with a SQL query.

PASSWORD secret
Password for the OAuth login page in remote mode

Limitations

It needs Tally Prime Silver or Gold with the XML port on (9000 by default); the Educational version gives incomplete data. Write tools change accounting data, the author requires a company backup, and `BLOCK_WRITE=1` disables writes completely. In remote mode replace the default password `password` with a complex one. The archive with dependencies is distributed from the author's site rather than a package registry, so verify the source. Grok and Mistral are supported only remotely.

How to disable. Remove the extension or the server entry from the client configuration and turn off the XML port in Tally Prime settings.

FAQ

How do I enable the XML port?

In Tally Prime: F1, Settings, Connectivity, Client/Server configuration; Server mode, port 9000.

Can writes be forbidden?

Yes, `BLOCK_WRITE=1` hides the write tools from the list entirely.

How do I connect to Claude Desktop?

Install the `.mcpb` extension from the README with one click. For ChatGPT and other clients a remote mode with OAuth is provided.

Why the built-in SQL tables?

Report results are stored in pglite tables so the agent computes totals with SQL without repeated Tally calls.

Which Tally version is needed?

Tally Prime Silver or Gold. The Educational version is discouraged because of its date range limit.
