- The fastest way to get started is with our **hosted service** — no OAuth setup required.
29
-
30
- ### 1. Sign Up
31
-
32
- Go to [freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com](https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com) and create an account (**14-day free trial**). Once you're in, connect your FreshBooks account from the dashboard.
33

34
- ### 2. Copy Your Configuration
35
-
36
- From your dashboard, copy the configuration snippet provided. It works with both **Claude Desktop** and **Claude Code**.
37
-
38
- **Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
39
- ```json
40
- {
41
- "mcpServers": {
42
- "freshbooks": {
43
- "command": "npx",
44
- "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com/api/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"]
45
- }
46
- }
47
- }
48
- ```
49
-
50
- **Claude Code** (`.mcp.json` in your project):
51
- ```json
52
- {
53
- "mcpServers": {
54
- "freshbooks": {
55
- "command": "npx",
56
- "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com/api/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"]
57
- }
58
- }
59
- }
60
- ```
61
-
62
- ### 3. Start Using
63
-
64
- Example prompts:
65
- - "Log 2 hours on the Website Redesign project"
66
- - "Show me my time entries for this week"
67
- - "Start a timer for client meeting"
68
- - "Create an invoice for Acme Corp for $1,500"
69
- - "What's my profit/loss this month?"
70
-
71
- ---
72
-
73
- ## Self-Hosted Setup
74
-
75
- You can also run the MCP server locally with your own FreshBooks API application.
76
-
77
- > **Note:** FreshBooks requires HTTPS for all OAuth callback URLs, including localhost. See [Local HTTPS Setup](#advanced-local-https-setup) below for instructions.
78
-
79
- ### 1. Get FreshBooks Credentials
80
-
81
- 1. Go to [FreshBooks Developer Portal](https://my.freshbooks.com/#/developer)
82
- 2. Create a new application
83
- 3. Set redirect URI to: `https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com/callback`
84
- 4. Note your Client ID and Client Secret
85
-
86
- ### 2. Configure Claude Desktop
87
-
88
- Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
89
-
90
- ```json
91
- {
92
- "mcpServers": {
93
- "freshbooks": {
94
- "command": "npx",
95
- "args": ["@goodsamsoftware/freshbooks-mcp"],
96
- "env": {
97
- "FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
98
- "FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",
99
- "FRESHBOOKS_REDIRECT_URI": "https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com/callback"
100
- }
101
- }
102
- }
103
- }
104
- ```
105
-
106
- ### 3. Authenticate
107
-
108
- Ask Claude:
109
- > "Connect me to FreshBooks"
110
-
111
- Claude will guide you through OAuth authentication. After authorizing in FreshBooks, you'll see the authorization code on our [hosted callback page](https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com) - just copy it and paste it back to Claude.
112
-
113
- ### 4. Start Using
114

- ### Advanced: Local HTTPS Setup
238
-
239
- If you prefer to use a local callback instead of our hosted callback page, you can set up local HTTPS certificates with [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert):
240
-
241
- **Windows (winget):**
242
- ```bash
243
- winget install FiloSottile.mkcert
244
- mkcert -install
245
- mkdir certs
246
- mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
247
- ```
248
-
249
- **macOS (Homebrew):**
250
- ```bash
251
- brew install mkcert
252
- mkcert -install
253
- mkdir certs
254
- mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
255
- ```
256
-
257
- **Linux:**
258
- ```bash
259
- # Install mkcert (see https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation)
260
- mkcert -install
261
- mkdir certs
262
- mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
263
- ```
264
-
265
- Then set your redirect URI to `https://localhost:3000/callback` in FreshBooks.
266
-
267
- The certificates will be valid for 3 years and trusted by your system.
268
-
269

106
+ ### 3. Authenticate
107
+
108
+ Ask Claude:
109
+ > "Connect me to FreshBooks"
110
+
111
+ Claude will guide you through OAuth authentication. After authorizing in FreshBooks, you'll see the authorization code on our [hosted callback page](https://freshbooks.goodsamsoftware.com) - just copy it and paste it back to Claude.
112
+
113
+ ### 4. Start Using
114
+
115
+ Example prompts:
116
+ - "Log 2 hours on the Website Redesign project"
117
+ - "Show me my time entries for this week"
118
+ - "Start a timer for client meeting"
119
+ - "Create an invoice for Acme Corp for $1,500"
120
+ - "What's my profit/loss this month?"

+ ### Advanced: Local HTTPS Setup
238
+
239
+ If you prefer to use a local callback instead of our hosted callback page, you can set up local HTTPS certificates with [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert):
240
+
241
+ **Windows (winget):**
242
+ ```bash
243
+ winget install FiloSottile.mkcert
244
+ mkcert -install
245
+ mkdir certs
246
+ mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ **macOS (Homebrew):**
250
+ ```bash
251
+ brew install mkcert
252
+ mkcert -install
253
+ mkdir certs
254
+ mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
255
+ ```
256
+
257
+ **Linux:**
258
+ ```bash
259
+ # Install mkcert (see https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation)
260
+ mkcert -install
261
+ mkdir certs
262
+ mkcert -key-file certs/localhost-key.pem -cert-file certs/localhost.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
263
+ ```
264
+
265
+ Then set your redirect URI to `https://localhost:3000/callback` in FreshBooks.
266
+
267
+ The certificates will be valid for 3 years and trusted by your system.
268
+
269
+ ## Development
270
+
271
+ ```bash
272
+ # Install dependencies
273
+ npm install
274
+
275
+ # Run in development mode
276
+ npm run dev
277
+
278
+ # Run tests
279
+ npm test
280
+
281
+ # Run tests with coverage
282
+ npm run test:coverage
283
+
284
+ # Type check
285
+ npm run typecheck
286
+
287

296
+ - **100% code coverage** requirement
297
+ - Mock factories for all FreshBooks entities
298
+ - Error scenario coverage
299
+
300
