Packages

Package	Description	npm
@cafeasp/netsuite-core	Auth, REST API client, SuiteQL engine	npm
@cafeasp/netsuite-cli	Terminal interface	npm
@cafeasp/netsuite-mcp	MCP server for AI clients	npm

Quick Start

CLI

npm install -g @cafeasp/netsuite-cli

# Configure credentials
netsuite config init

# Test connection
netsuite info

# Query data
netsuite query "SELECT id, companyname FROM customer" --limit 10

# Get a record
netsuite record get customer 123 --format json

# List records
netsuite record list item --limit 20

MCP Server (Claude Code)

npm install -g @cafeasp/netsuite-mcp

claude mcp add netsuite-mcp -e NETSUITE_ACCOUNT_ID=YOUR_ID -e NETSUITE_CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_KEY -e NETSUITE_CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET -e NETSUITE_TOKEN_ID=YOUR_TOKEN -e NETSUITE_TOKEN_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET -e NETSUITE_AUTH_METHOD=tba -- netsuite-mcp

Then in Claude Code:

• "Show me the first 5 customers in NetSuite"
• "What fields are available on the salesorder record?"
• "Run this SuiteQL: SELECT id, tranid FROM transaction WHERE type = 'SalesOrd'"

Core Library

npm install @cafeasp/netsuite-core

import {
  loadConfig,
  createAuthProvider,
  NetSuiteClient,
  SuiteQLClient,
} from "@cafeasp/netsuite-core";

const config = loadConfig();
const auth = createAuthProvider(config);
const client = new NetSuiteClient(auth, config.accountId);
const suiteql = new SuiteQLClient(client);

const result = await suiteql.query("SELECT id, companyname FROM customer", { limit: 10 });
console.log(result.items);

Authentication

The tool uses Token-Based Authentication (TBA) — the most common auth method for NetSuite developers.

You need four values from your NetSuite account:

1. Consumer Key and Consumer Secret (from an Integration Record)
2. Token ID and Token Secret (from an Access Token)

See each package's README for detailed setup instructions.

Configuration

Credentials are stored in ~/.netsuite/config.json with named profiles:

# Set up default profile
netsuite config init

# Use a specific profile
netsuite --profile sandbox query "SELECT 1 FROM dual"

Environment variables override file config:

• NETSUITE_ACCOUNT_ID
• NETSUITE_CONSUMER_KEY
• NETSUITE_CONSUMER_SECRET
• NETSUITE_TOKEN_ID
• NETSUITE_TOKEN_SECRET

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• NetSuite account with REST Web Services and TBA enabled
