Two ways to reach the books programmatically. Pick MCP to connect an AI assistant, REST to build an integration.

Which one do I need?

MCP
You want an AI assistant to answer questions about the books, post receipts or reconcile accounts for the user. No code — just one config line in the client.
REST
You are building something deterministic: a sync with a POS system, a nightly job, your own app. You want exact control over every call.
Both
The common case. They sit on the same data and the same permission model — the MCP tools are essentially an AI-friendly shell around the same business logic as the REST API.
