Sevdesk for AI agents

sevDesk is online accounting software for small businesses and freelancers, covering invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting. It is widely used by German-speaking small businesses to manage bookkeeping. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

EVERY SEVDESK CALL, ON THE RECORD
01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Sevdesk.

01

Book a payment against an invoice

Record a booked amount against an open invoice once payment has actually landed in the account.

02

Create a credit note from an invoice

Generate a credit note tied to an existing invoice when a refund or correction is needed.

03

Confirm before deleting a contact

Check a contact's records and get sign-off before deleting it, since linked invoices reference that contact.

02 · ACTIONS

122 Sevdesk actions, graded by risk.

Every Sevdesk action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Sevdesk connects.

Users add their Sevdesk api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Sevdesk connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Sevdesk and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Sevdesk with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Sevdesk to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Sevdesk actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Sevdesk?

Users add their Sevdesk api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Sevdesk actions can my agent take?

122 in total: 66 read, 40 write and 16 destructive, such as “create Tag”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Sevdesk?

Yes. Actions like “delete Contact” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Sevdesk too?

Yes. The same Sevdesk connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
