How to Connect DATEV to MCP for AI-Powered Accounting

Connect DATEV accounting to MCP. Access clients, documents, payroll data, and HR reporting with AI agents. The first DATEV MCP integration.

DATEV with AI Agents via MCP

DATEV is the dominant accounting and tax software platform in Germany, used by nearly every tax consultant (Steuerberater) and thousands of businesses. Despite its market dominance, there has been no MCP server for DATEV — until now.

With AnythingMCP, you can connect DATEV's official Online APIs to any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.).

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store, import the DATEV adapter, and configure your OAuth 2.0 credentials from the DATEV Developer Portal.
