Use sevDesk with AI via MCP
sevDesk is the central accounting software in many small and mid-sized companies across the DACH region. MCP access currently comes from the community – we run it as a container inside your CompanyGPT environment, so the data never leaves your tenant.
What is sevDesk?
sevDesk is cloud accounting software from sevDesk GmbH, based in Offenburg, Germany. It targets freelancers and small to mid-sized companies and covers invoicing, receipt capture, bank reconciliation, dunning and collaboration with the tax advisor. As a German product, it is built around local accounting and tax requirements.
For AI agents, sevDesk is most useful in day-to-day operations: instead of filtering lists, questions about open invoices, receipts or customer contacts can be asked directly. Because the data is accessible via API, an agent can read it, summarize it and combine it with information from other systems.

How to Connect sevDesk to CompanyGPT
There is currently no MCP server from the vendor for sevDesk. What is available is a community server, nikolausm/mcp-sevdesk, which exposes the sevDesk API via MCP and works with an API token.
We operate this server as a container inside your CompanyGPT environment. That keeps the data path short and controllable: your CompanyGPT instance talks to the container, the container talks to the sevDesk API – no external operator sits in between, and no copy of your accounting data is created outside your tenant.
The API token is stored together with you in the protected configuration area of the instance. In CompanyGPT, your administrators control via roles and groups who may use the sevDesk integration; per agent, you can additionally define which tools are enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions
sevDesk and AI – the most important answers
Is there an official sevDesk MCP server?
Not from the vendor at this time. We use the community server nikolausm/mcp-sevdesk, which exposes the sevDesk API via MCP and works with an API token.

We operate it as a container in your CompanyGPT environment. Your instance talks to the container, and the container talks to the sevDesk API – no external operator is involved.

Yes. sevDesk is developed by sevDesk GmbH in Offenburg and is designed around German accounting and tax requirements.
How secure is a connection based on an API token?
The token is stored in the protected configuration area of your CompanyGPT instance and is not visible to users. The scope of access matches what the token permits in sevDesk.
