In an article published on 12 November, Tidningen Balans asked Sweden’s largest financial management software vendors how far their MCP support has progressed. The magazine is published by FAR, the professional body for auditors and accounting firms. The article relies on the vendors’ own answers.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard. It lets an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Claude or Google Gemini use the data and functions of another system. A user can, for example, ask the assistant to fetch a report instead of searching the menus. Balans wrote that what an assistant can do depends on the vendor’s implementation and the user’s access rights.

Spiris and Finago already live

Spiris’s official MCP server has been in open beta since June 2026. Simo Panas, who is responsible for accounting firm customers, said the assistant can create vouchers, process invoices and record payments, among other things. Once a client or an accounting firm consultant has connected the server to their AI tool, the AI can work directly in the books, Panas said. About 1,200 users at about 1,700 companies use the service, the company said. Spiris recommends Claude and ChatGPT, which it has tested, but other tools that support MCP can also connect to the server.

Jan Söderqvist, industry expert at Spiris, expects MCP to produce analyses, forecasts and reports in an instant and to bring the time needed to produce advice close to zero.

Finago launched an MCP solution for its Finago Office system on 15 October 2026, and it is available in Sweden. Country manager Andreas Näslund said the accounting firms that have adopted the service have about 1,500 companies in their client portfolios combined. The company did not disclose the number of firms or active users. A consultant can connect their own AI assistant to the service. Balans’s table states that external AI agents can access the service for approved clients (‘för godkända klienter’). An AI agent can process data from several clients and look for anomalies, for example, Näslund said.

The system checks the permissions in force on each call and logs all data retrieval, the company said. ‘The AI agent never gets broader access than the connected user has in Finago Office,’ Näslund said. Permissions are also client-specific, Näslund added.

Lundify for selected users, Fortnox plans 2027 release

At Björn Lundén’s Lundify, a handful of selected partners and early adopters use the MCP server, said Henry Arousell, the group’s chief product and technology officer. For now, an accounting firm consultant can read and review data for their companies. Support for creating and changing data is coming soon, Arousell said.

Lundify requires a login when the connection is set up, and the consultant has the same permissions as when using Lundify directly, Arousell said. The company plans to open the service to more customers in stages during the rest of 2026 and 2027.

Fortnox does not have its own MCP server. Chief technology officer Magdalena Hallbrandt said the company plans to release an MCP solution in the first half of 2027. Third-party solutions already use Fortnox’s open APIs.

Bokio has no MCP solution. Adam Norlin Persson of Bokio said the company is prioritising the area but did not give a release date.
