Use the Help Center with AI tools
Ask Zera answers questions from these guides, and every page works with ChatGPT, Claude and any MCP-compatible AI tool.
Ask Zera
Ask Zera answers questions about using ZeraBooks from the guides in this Help Center, and links the guides it used.
Click Ask at the top of any page, or press ⌘ I (Ctrl I on Windows).
Type your question, for example "Why doesn't my statement tie?", and press Enter.
Read the answer and open a source under Sources for the full steps. Ask a follow-up in the same conversation.
You can also hover over any paragraph in a guide and click the small question button beside it to ask Zera to explain that part.
Note: Ask Zera only knows these public guides. It can't see your books or your account, and it doesn't give tax or legal advice. For a question about your own data, it tells you where in ZeraBooks to find it.
Open a page in ChatGPT or Claude
Click the arrow beside Ask at the top of the page.
Choose Open in ChatGPT or Open in Claude. A new tab opens with the page loaded, ready for your questions.
Connect the Help Center to an AI tool (MCP)
The Help Center has an MCP server that any MCP-compatible tool can use to search and read these guides. Its address is:
https://www.zerabooks.com/help/mcpIt offers three tools: searchDocumentation, getPage and askQuestion.
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http zerabooks-help https://www.zerabooks.com/help/mcpClick the arrow beside Ask on any page, then Connect to VS Code. VS Code asks you to confirm adding the server.
Run this in your terminal:
codex mcp add zerabooks-help --url https://www.zerabooks.com/help/mcpAdd a remote MCP server of type HTTP (Streamable HTTP) with the address above. No sign-in is needed.
Markdown and llms.txt
Every page in this Help Center is also available as Markdown: add .md to its address, for example https://www.zerabooks.com/help/reconciliations/how-reconciliation-works.md. Add ?ask= and a question to get an answer instead, for example …/how-reconciliation-works.md?ask=why does my month not tie.
The full list of pages is at /help/llms.txt, and every page's full text is at /help/llms-full.txt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ask Zera see my books?
No. Ask Zera in the Help Center answers only from these public guides. It never sees your company, transactions or account.
Is Ask Zera always right?
It's AI and can make mistakes. Every answer lists the guides it used, so check the steps there. If something looks wrong, rate the answer with the thumbs-down button so we can fix the guide.
Does the MCP server need an account or an API key?
No. It serves the same public guides as this website, so there is nothing to sign in to.
Can an AI tool change my books through the Help Center MCP server?
No. The Help Center MCP server only searches and reads these guides. It has no access to ZeraBooks accounts.
How often is the Markdown updated?
It's the same source as the page, so it always matches what you see on the website.
