Several services now host MCP servers for Forge and e-Boekhouden, at similar prices. The difference is in the details: what your AI can change, who stops it, and where your key is kept. Here's what MCP Hosted does, and the questions to ask any provider, including us.
Last checked: 30 October 2026
Connect your first toolMost AI clients show an approval pop-up before a tool runs. That pop-up is a client setting: one click on "Always allow" and it's gone. So ask every provider: if my AI tries to change something, what refuses it? The pop-up, the provider's server, or the software's own permissions?
| Laravel Forge | MCP Hosted | Ask any other provider |
|---|---|---|
| What can the AI change? | Whatever your Forge API token's scopes allow; Forge refuses the rest. Not read-only by default. | Does the page tell you to limit your token's scopes? Which tools can write? |
| Keep it read-only | Give the token only organization:view and server:view. | Is there a read-only mode, and is it enforced on the server or only by your AI client's pop-up? |
| Calls it never sends | Deleting a server, site or database, archiving a server, restoring a backup over a database. | Are there destructive calls the server refuses whatever your token allows? |
| Reading .env secrets | set_environment_variables never reads your .env file. Tools that run commands can still reach files if your token allows it. | Is there a tool that returns your full .env (database passwords, API keys) to the AI? |
| Tools | 14 read, 18 that change things (full list) | Is the full tool list public, with which tools write? |
| Your key | Encrypted with AES-256 before it is saved. Disconnect deletes it straight away. | Which encryption? How fast is the key deleted when you disconnect? |
| Price | €9 per connection per month. Self-host: one-time license. | Price in euros or dollars? Per server, per token, per account? Is VAT added? Is there a call limit? |

|---|---|---|
| What can the AI change? | Nothing. The server has no tool that creates, changes, sends, books or deletes anything. | Which tools write? Can the AI create invoices? |
| Why that matters | e-Boekhouden has no read-only API tokens, so the token itself could write. Our server never uses it to. | If the token can write, what stops a write: a server setting, or only the pop-up in your AI client? |
| Permanent actions | None. | Can the AI create an invoice? In e-Boekhouden an invoice can't be changed or deleted through the API afterwards, and its number is used up. |
| What it can read | Customers and suppliers, invoices, outstanding invoices, journal entries, ledgers and balances, cost centres, products: 11 tools (full list). | Is the full tool list public? |
| Need AI to create invoices? | Not possible with MCP Hosted. Pick a provider that offers write tools, and check how writes are approved. | |
| Your key and data | Key encrypted with AES-256; data fetched live and not stored; server and database in an EU data centre, with Cloudflare, Polar, Resend and others involved (security page). | Where are the servers and who are the sub-processors? How long are keys and logs kept after you leave? |
| Price | €9 per connection per month. | Euros or dollars, VAT, per-token pricing, call limits? |

e-Boekhouden, Zenvoices and Rompslomp have no tool that writes. WeFact is read-only until you tick what it may change, and our server refuses the rest. In Google Search Console, you choose read-only or read and write when you connect, and Google enforces it. Forge follows your token's scopes.

It depends on the tool. e-Boekhouden, Zenvoices and Rompslomp are always read-only: our server has no tool that changes anything. WeFact is read-only until you tick what it may change, and our server refuses everything else. In Google Search Console, you choose read-only or read and write when you connect, and Google enforces that choice. Laravel Forge does whatever your Forge token's scopes allow, so give it only organization:view and server:view if you want it to read only.
It helps, but it is a client setting. Anyone can switch it to "Always allow", and some clients or team setups skip it. A limit on the server, or in the software's own permissions, still holds when the pop-up is off.
No. Our e-Boekhouden connection only reads. If you want your AI to create invoices, choose a provider that offers that, and check what stops a wrong invoice: in e-Boekhouden an invoice can't be changed or deleted through the API afterwards.
Data from your tools is fetched live and passed straight to your AI assistant; we keep no copy. Our server and database run in an EU data centre (DigitalOcean). Cloudflare, Polar, Resend and a few others help run the service, and some are based in the US. The security page lists them all.
€9 per connection per month, with hosting, updates and every AI assistant included. Cancel whenever you want. Prefer to run it yourself? Most tools are also available with a one-time self-host license.
