Layer’s MCP server can retrieve financial reports and accounting structures to help agents explain business performance.

​
Available Tools

  • get_profit_and_loss_summaries returns month-range P&L summaries for trends, charts, and performance comparisons.
  • get_balance_sheet returns assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific effective date.
  • get_chart_of_accounts returns the nested accounting structure for the configured business, useful for both reporting context and transaction categorization.

​
API-backed Reports

The MCP server calls Layer’s API internally using the active business context from the MCP session. The report tools map to the same report resources documented in the API reference: Report tools support accounting context such as cash or accrual basis where available. Monetary values are returned in cents and should be converted before being displayed to end users.
