Summary
Steuerberater spend hours clicking through DATEV. Let Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot list Mandanten, query DUO document types, check an invoice's status — in plain German. The DATEV MCP connector exposes 6 read tools across every major AI client.

Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
Run DATEV from your AI assistant
DATEV is the German accounting standard — every Steuerberater (tax advisor) lives in it. It's also famously click-heavy: Mandantenliste, dann Belegart, dann Filter, dann Export. Five clicks for any answer.
With the DATEV connector for AnythingMCP, every AI assistant can read DATEV's Online APIs directly. Ask in German or English, get structured answers in seconds.
Pick your client:
What you can ask
Real prompts that replace 10 clicks each:
| Need | Sample prompt |
|---|---|
| Mandant lookup | "Welche Mandanten betreuen wir mit Anfangsbuchstabe M?" / "Show me all Mandanten starting with M." |
| Belegart-check | "Welche Belegarten sind für Mandant 1234 in DUO konfiguriert?" |
| Document hunt | "Find all incoming invoices > €1,000 for Mandant Müller GmbH in March 2026." |
| DUO version | "Which DUO version is currently active for Mandant 7890?" |
| Cross-Mandant report | "How many Mandanten have unprocessed Kreditorenrechnungen older than 14 days?" |
| Onboarding | "What's the standard chart-of-accounts setup for a new GmbH Mandant?" |
| Compliance | "List Mandanten where the last successful sync from DUO was more than 7 days ago." |
(All read-only — the connector cannot post bookings or edit documents.)
Why this beats clicking through DATEV
| DATEV web UI | DATEV + AI assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-Mandant question | One Mandant at a time | All Mandanten in one query |
| Filter on multiple criteria | Multiple screens | One sentence |
| Recurring monthly report | Manual export + Excel | Cron + prompt |
| New employee onboarding | Slow tour of the UI | Demo prompts in German |
| Mobile/voice access | Compromised | First-class |
Always-on mode
Schedule any prompt on a cron and you have a 24/7 Kanzlei monitor:
- "Jeden Montag 8 Uhr: alle Mandanten mit offenen Belegen älter als 14 Tage."
- "Jede Stunde: Mandanten, deren DUO-Sync gescheitert ist — Slack-Alert."
- "Monatsanfang: Übersicht aller Mandanten mit Quartalsabschluss diesen Monat."
AnythingMCP rotates the DATEV OAuth 2.0 refresh token (~2-year lifetime) automatically. Scheduled queries never break.
DATEV-specific notes
DATEV's Online APIs are not plug-and-play. You need:
- An app registered on developer.datev.de — Confidential client, OIDC Authorization Code Flow.
- Subscriptions to
accounting-clients v2.0andaccounting-documents v2.0. - A real DATEV-Konto user with SmartLogin or SmartCard. DATEV does NOT expose
client_credentials— every call is on-behalf-of a human. - For production (
*.api.datev.de) you must complete DATEV's review. Until then, the connector points at the sandbox.
The connector handles the OAuth dance + token refresh. You handle the one-time portal registration. See the DATEV-to-MCP technical guide for the full procedure.
Get started
- Pick your AI client.
- Follow the 3-step guide (DATEV portal registration is a one-time prerequisite).
- First prompt: "Liste mir alle Mandanten auf, sortiert nach Name."
