How this app reaches Tally, what AI apps may do, and your licence.
Tally
MCP for Tally reads TallyPrime through its XML server.
Connected. Open: Shreeji Traders, Shreeji Traders 2026-27.
The MCP for Tally app and an AI chat, drawn for this page with sample books (Shreeji Traders, made up). Claude, ChatGPT and AnythingLLM each look different; what they read from Tally is the same.
Works with the tools you already use
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the others reach Tally through MCP. The names and logos shown belong to their owners and do not imply endorsement.
MCP for Tally is a connector, not a cloud. It reads Tally on your computer and hands each answer straight to the AI app you chose. Your books stay where they are: in Tally.

Writing to Tally stays off until you turn it on. Everything else the app does, it shows you.
The app’s switches, as installed
Entries are checked first
When entries are on, each voucher is checked before it goes: debits equal credits to the paisa, and every ledger and voucher type exists. Nothing is ever deleted.
Every read is on record
The Activity screen lists each call for 30 days: which app, which tool, how many rows. The log stays on your computer.
Tally carries on as it was
It never changes Tally’s current company, period or screen, and it asks one thing at a time, so Tally never stalls.
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI apps use to call tools. Each app has its own setup guide.
Every plan has every feature and starts with 7 days free, no card. Plans differ only in how many computers use them at once.
Prices in US dollars.

MCP for Tally is an offline desktop app for Windows and Mac that works as an MCP server for TallyPrime. AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or a local model in Ollama, use it to read your Tally books live on your computer: ledgers, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, vouchers, outstanding bills and stock. It also exports any of that to Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, SQLite, Markdown or HTML.
No. Your books stay in Tally on your computer. The app reads Tally there and answers the AI app on the same computer; nothing is uploaded, synced or copied to us. Our site only ever sees your email, your billing details and the names of the computers you activate. A cloud AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT does send what it reads to its own AI service, under that company’s terms. With a local model in Ollama or LM Studio, nothing leaves the computer.
Yes. Ollama runs AI models on your own computer. Connect it through AnythingLLM, a free desktop chat app: choose Ollama as its AI provider, then click Add beside AnythingLLM in MCP for Tally and start your question with @agent. LM Studio works the same way on its own. Pick a model that can use tools, such as qwen3:8b, and a local one: models whose names end in -cloud run on Ollama’s servers. A computer with 16 GB of memory is a comfortable start.
Only to activate, deactivate or refresh your licence, and to check for updates when you click. After activation it works offline for the whole year, and a computer with no internet can be activated offline with a code. Cloud AI apps need the internet for their own model; Ollama and LM Studio do not.
Yes. The app has its own Chat screen. Paste a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, OpenRouter or Together, and the app works out the provider and its models; or use Ollama or LM Studio on the same computer. The key stays on your computer, locked by Windows or the Mac Keychain. Questions go straight from your computer to that provider, never through our servers. Your chats and the tokens each provider reported are kept on your computer, and the Chat only reads Tally.
Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop on Windows, Ollama through AnythingLLM, LM Studio, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI and any other app that speaks MCP over stdio or Streamable HTTP. The app adds itself to most of them with one click.
TallyPrime, with its XML server turned on (F1 Help, Settings, Connectivity, port 9000). It reads every company open in Tally. We build and test it with TallyPrime; Tally.ERP 9 is not supported.
Yes. TallyPrime runs only on Windows, so the Mac app reads Tally on a Windows PC in your office network, or in a Windows virtual machine on the Mac. On that PC, turn on Tally’s XML server and allow port 9000 for private networks in Windows Firewall, then enter the PC’s address in the app. Never open port 9000 to the internet.
With ChatGPT Desktop on Windows, yes: it can start a local MCP server. chatgpt.com in a browser and the phone apps cannot reach a program on your computer, and we will not route your books through a public tunnel to make that work.
Only if you turn on “Let AI apps make entries”. Then it can create ledgers and balanced Journal, Payment, Receipt and Contra vouchers, each checked before it is sent and written to the activity log. It can never delete anything.
Yes. The app’s Export tab saves ledgers, groups, stock items, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, stock summary, receivables, payables and the day book for any period, in seven formats, in one click.
Those are good if you are a developer and happy to install Node or Python, edit config files and keep them updated. MCP for Tally is an installer with its own runtime, so there is nothing else to install, one-click setup for each AI app, seven export formats, an activity log, read-only by default, updates for the year and email support.
It runs, but Educational mode only accepts dates on the 1st, 2nd and 31st of a month, so reports for other dates come back incomplete. Use licensed TallyPrime for real answers.
A yearly plan keeps working for 7 more days. After that the AI tools and export pause until you renew; your settings, exports and activity log stay. Renewing adds a year from your end date, so you never lose days. A lifetime plan never ends.
Yes. Every plan also comes for life: you pay once, the key never ends, and you get every update for as long as MCP for Tally is made. The price is on each plan above. A yearly key can be turned into a lifetime one from your account.
Deactivate in the app on the old computer and activate on the new one. If the old one died, remove it from your account page: each key allows that three times a year.
