Build

Bkper is designed to be extended. Whether you’re piping CLI commands in a shell script or building a full platform app with a UI, events, and managed hosting — the same APIs and tools power everything.

The building spectrum

Scripts & CLI — Pipe data through the CLI, write Node.js scripts, or call the REST API directly. No infrastructure needed.

Google Workspace — Build automations with Apps Script, extend Google Sheets with custom functions and triggers.

Platform Apps — Full applications with managed hosting, authentication, event handling, and deployment on the Bkper Platform.

AI-assisted development — Prefer CLI local tools when an agent can run terminal commands. Use MCP for conversational connector access. Keep deterministic financial outputs in scripts, tests, and audited artifacts.
