# Connect Claude to PineBill

> Connect PineBill from Claude's connectors directory to manage invoices, timers, expenses and your calendar from a conversation.

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, on the web, on desktop and on mobile. PineBill's MCP server lets Claude work with your PineBill invoices, estimates, customers, products, expenses, projects, tasks, timers, calendar and reports.

Server URL: https://www.pinebill.app/api/mcp (remote MCP over Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no API key).

## Setup

1. Open PineBill in Claude's connectors directory and click Connect.
2. Sign in to your PineBill account.
3. Choose view only or allow edits, then click Allow access.
4. In a chat, open + → Connectors and make sure PineBill is on.

PineBill is listed in Claude's connectors directory. On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner may need to add it under Organization settings → Connectors first, then each member connects their own PineBill account. You can also add it as a custom connector with the server URL https://www.pinebill.app/api/mcp.

## Try asking

- “Which invoices are overdue, and who owes the most?”
- “Draft an estimate for Acme: 3 days of design at $600 a day.”
- “What's on my calendar this week?”

## Access and cost

- You choose view only or view and edit on the PineBill consent screen when you sign in.
- Claude acts as you: your PineBill role and plan limits still apply, and Guests are always view only.
- Disconnect Claude at any time in Settings → Connect MCPs; it loses access on its next request.
- Working through MCP doesn't use PineBill AI credits.
