Turn on Tally’s XML server

MCP for Tally reads your books through TallyPrime’s own XML server. It is off until you turn it on, once.

1. Open TallyPrime.
2. Press F1 (Help), then Settings, then Connectivity.
3. Open Client/Server configuration. Set TallyPrime acts as to Both (or Server) and Port to 9000.
4. Accept, then close TallyPrime and open it again.
5. Open the companies you want the AI to read. MCP for Tally sees every company that is open.

In MCP for Tally, the dot at the top turns green and says how many companies are open. If it stays grey, check that nothing else uses port 9000 and that TallyPrime is running.

Educational mode

Tally’s Educational mode only accepts dates on the 1st, 2nd and 31st of a month, so reports for other dates come back incomplete. The app warns you when a company is in Educational mode.
