Installation, component identities, integration and reference
Development home for the Aus Accounting MCP application and six independently released
Australian accounting engines. Each component keeps its own distribution name, version,
lockfile, tests, release notes, commands and licence. There is no root distribution,
shared runtime library or combined version.
Use Aus Accounting MCP
For the MCP server, install Python 3.10+ and uv, then
configure your MCP client to run:
This starts a local stdio server; it waits for an MCP client rather than opening
a web page. It requires no API key. Package installation downloads dependencies;
the tools then use bundled data without network requests or record writes.
Client setup and examples
· Tool reference
· PyPI
· Glama listing
The seven tools list ATO benchmark industries, compare supplied expense buckets,
review Payday Super timing, look up reviewed Division 7A rates, review an
operator-supplied Division 7A loan, refuse unsupported Division 7A matters, and
generate synthetic CTR/BAS fixtures. Division 7A review is limited to the delegated
engine's s 109N/s 109E scope; it does not form amalgamated loans or classify
repayments under s 109R. Outputs are review aids, not advice or lodgments.
For an editable source installation, run pip install -e . from
apps/aus-accounting-mcp/. The repository root is not an installable Python package.

IMPORTS.md records the source repository, commit and tree of every imported engine. The
MCP application is the io.github.ryanduguid/aus-accounting MCP Registry server; it
depends on the published ato-benchmark-compare, payday-super-checker and
div7a-loan-review distributions, not on the sibling directories.
Working in a component
Change into the component directory and use the commands its own README.md,
AGENTS.md or CONTRIBUTING.md documents. The root CONTRIBUTING.md routes the
common commands and names the root workflow that runs them.
Boundaries
- The MCP application depends on engines only through their published distributions.
- Engines never import
aus_accounting_mcp or another engine, and no production module
uses a relative import that leaves its package; tests/test_boundaries.py proves both.
- Only the workflows under the root
.github/workflows/ are active; component directories
carry none.
- No client data, credentials or generated client reports enter this repository.
Releases
Each component is released on its own namespaced tag <component>/vX.Y.Z by its own root
workflow .github/workflows/release-<component>.yml, which calls the pinned Release Policy
reusable workflow for that component directory only. CONTRIBUTING.md has the table.
Each component's LICENSE applies to that component, and
packages/ato-benchmark-compare/NOTICE covers its bundled ATO data. Outputs are review
aids, not advice.
