How to Set Up and Use Tally MCP
Tally MCP Server connects Tally Prime ERP with AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT via the Model Context Protocol, exposing 19 tools that cover financial statements, inventory reports, ledger queries, master data management, and direct database queries. It lets business owners and accountants ask plain-language questions about their company's financial data — trial balances, profit and loss, stock summaries, outstanding bills — without writing TDL reports or custom scripts. Tally Prime users who want AI-driven insight into their books without exporting to spreadsheets will find this server immediately practical.
Prerequisites
- Tally Prime Silver or Gold edition installed and running
- Tally XML server enabled on port 9000 (set Port = 9000 in Tally.ini or via Gateway of Tally > F12 Config)
- Node.js 18 or later installed on the same machine as Tally
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop (Pro, Team, Max, or Enterprise subscription required)
Enable Tally's XML port
In Tally Prime, go to Gateway of Tally > F12: Configure > Advanced Configuration and set the XML Port to 9000. Alternatively add 'Port = 9000' to your Tally.ini file. Restart Tally Prime after the change.
Download and extract the MCP server package
Download the pre-packaged zip from the project's release page (or the excelkida.com distribution), extract it to a permanent directory such as D:\Software\Tally MCP Server.
Configure Claude Desktop
Edit claude_desktop_config.json and add an entry pointing to the extracted index.mjs file. Adjust the path to match your extraction directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"Tally Prime": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["D:\\Software\\Tally MCP Server\\dist\\index.mjs"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop
Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The server will connect to Tally Prime's XML endpoint on localhost:9000 automatically.
Select company and set period in Claude
Use the set-company tool to select the active Tally company and set-period to define the date range before running financial queries. Then call any of the 19 tools to retrieve Tally data.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for querying financial and inventory data from Tally Prime through Claude.
- "Show me the trial balance for the current financial year."
- "What is the profit and loss statement for Q3?"
- "List all outstanding receivable bills as of today."
- "What is the closing stock value for the item 'Widget A'?"
- "Show the ledger account entries for 'Sales Account' this month."
- "List all vendors under the Sundry Creditors group."Troubleshooting Tally MCP
Connection refused when the MCP server tries to reach Tally
Ensure Tally Prime is open and the XML port is enabled. Test the port with 'curl http://localhost:9000' — a successful connection returns a Tally XML response. If blocked, check Windows Firewall rules for port 9000.
Claude Desktop shows the server as disconnected or fails to load
Verify the path in the args array points to the correct index.mjs file using forward-slash escaping (double backslashes on Windows). Run 'node "D:\Software\Tally MCP Server\dist\index.mjs"' directly in a Command Prompt to see any startup errors.
Financial tools return empty data or wrong period results
Use the set-company tool to select the correct Tally company and set-period to define the exact date range before calling financial report tools. Tally's XML API is period-sensitive and defaults to the current date if not explicitly set.
