Rutter Connect
Rutter Connect
Rutter Connect is the production layer between your AI agent and the systems it acts on: accounting and commerce platforms via Rutter Link, OAuth and credential management per merchant, a write-safety gate that confirms every mutation, and observability over every call.
Rutter Connect is the tool-calling platform for AI agents that need accounting and commerce data. It gives your agent secure, reliable access to the platforms your merchants use — across QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Shopify, Amazon, and the rest — through one MCP endpoint.
Authentication per merchant or shared across an org, tool scoping per agent surface, write confirmation on every mutation, and a complete audit trail. Enterprise-ready out of the box.
Features
- Hundreds of platforms
Pre-built MCP-ready tools for the platforms your merchants use — QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Shopify, Amazon, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and the rest. Tool schemas are normalized; descriptions are model-friendly.
- Auth per merchant
Per-merchant authentication via Rutter Link, or shared credentials across an org. OAuth, API keys, and platform-specific auth supported. Bring your own OAuth app for branding on the consent screen.
- Dual-slot sessions
A single MCP session holds an accounting connection and a commerce connection at the same time, so the agent can answer cross-domain questions in one turn — "compare last month's Shopify orders against what posted in QuickBooks" — without juggling auth.
- Write safety
Every write tool is annotated
destructiveHintoridempotentHint. Mutations require an explicit confirmation step before the call fires — the agent summarizes the action ("Post a $2,140 bill to QuickBooks?") and waits for the user to approve. - Observability
Every tool call is captured: arguments, result, latency, the merchant it ran for, errors. Filter by merchant or tool. Audit log covers admin actions. Webhooks fan events out to your own pipeline.
- Differentiated analytics
Beyond CRUD, ship purpose-built tools that compose multiple endpoints into a single answer:
get_cash_position,get_13_week_forecast,get_ar_aging_summary,get_late_payment_prediction,get_ap_optimization,get_financial_action.
