.envfile:
WAVE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_wave_oauth2_access_token_here
Getting Your Wave Access Token
- Log in to your Wave account
- Navigate to Settings → API Access
- Create a new OAuth2 application
- Generate an OAuth2 Bearer access token with appropriate permissions
Note: Wave API access may require approval. Check Wave's current developer program status.
Configuration
Claude Desktop Setup
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wave-accounting": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/wave_mcp/mcp_server.py"],
"env": {
"WAVE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_wave_oauth2_access_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration.
Usage Examples

I have a receipt from Office Depot for $45.99 dated March 15, 2024.
It's for office supplies - printer paper and pens.
Creating Income from Payment
Received payment of $1,500 from ABC Company on March 20, 2024

Important Notes
Vendor and Customer Management
- Vendors and customers must be created manually in Wave's web interface
- The API supports searching existing vendors/customers but not creating new ones
- Transactions can be created without vendors/customers and linked later
Limitations
- Wave API doesn't support attaching receipt images/PDFs
- Maximum 2 simultaneous API requests (Wave rate limiting)
- OAuth2 tokens may expire and need refreshing

MCP Server Not Available in Claude
- Ensure the path in
claude_desktop_config.jsonis absolute - Verify Python and all dependencies are installed
- Restart Claude Desktop
