Connect Claude Desktop to your Jobber account - read-only, double-click install, no coding

Hey everyone. I built a free, open-source tool that connects your Jobber account to an AI assistant like Claude, so you can ask things in plain English and get answers from your real account:

  • "Which invoices are overdue, and by how many days?"
  • "What's on the schedule this week?"
  • "Where does the quote pipeline stand?"
  • "Pull up everything on this customer"
  • "Draft a polite payment reminder for that overdue invoice" (drafts it - you send)

It only reads your data. It can't create jobs, change invoices, or send anything. Least-privilege access, your credentials stay on your machine, and there's no backend - the tool talks directly to Jobber's official API.

Installing is now a double-click if you use Claude Desktop (no coding):

  1. Download jobber-mcp.mcpb from the GitHub releases page
  2. Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions → Install extension
  3. Say "authenticate with Jobber" and follow the one-time setup: create a free app at developer.getjobber.com (read-only scopes for Clients, Jobs, Quotes, Scheduled Items, Invoices - ~5 minutes, no callback URL needed)
  4. Ask away

Other AI tools: it works with anything that supports MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot). Setup instructions are in the README. 

Repo: https://github.com/BuildMinimal/jobber-mcp

Honest caveats: you do need the one-time free developer app on Jobber's side (that's how Jobber's API permissions work - it's what keeps this safe), and today it's read-only. Write access (drafting quotes/jobs for your approval) is the next thing I'm building - if that's interesting to you, say so in the comments, it helps me prioritize. 

Would genuinely value feedback: what's the first question YOU would ask your Jobber account? I'll build the best ones in.
