# API and CLI access for accountants

For technical firms, Booko offers a command-line tool (booko-accountant) and a connection for AI agents (MCP), such as Claude or Codex. With it you can work with your clients' data using your own accountant account.

## Where to find it

1. Go to **Settings** > **API & CLI access**.
2. **Booko agent connector** shows whether the tool is available for your account and which downloads exist.

## How it works (in short)

- The tool only works with an accountant account. Other accounts are rejected.
- You sign in through the Booko website and give permission there with **Authorize**. Your password never goes to the tool itself.
- The tool can't do anything you aren't allowed to do in the app: your role and permissions still apply.
- Risky changes require extra confirmation, and there is a dry-run mode to see what would happen first.

## Good to know

- Seeing **Disabled** (**The CLI is not enabled for this account.**) or **Not ready yet**? No download has been configured for your account yet.
- Never share access tokens or passwords in the chat or in prompts. Booko support will never ask for them.

## Still stuck?

Requesting access, installation problems or questions about connecting your AI agent are handled personally. Ask for a colleague in the chat.
