Do your bookkeeping with Claude

1. Open Claude connectors. In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors, then "Add custom connector".
2. Paste the LedgerMCP URL. Enter https://ledgermcp.com/mcp as the connector URL. Leave the OAuth client fields blank; Claude registers itself.
3. Sign in. Claude opens a LedgerMCP sign-in. Enter your email, type the 6-digit code, and approve. New accounts are created on the spot, free.
4. Start keeping books. Ask Claude to set up your books, then hand it a bank statement. It imports, categorizes, and reconciles from there.

• Set up books for my consulting business.
• Here is my June statement as a CSV. Import it and categorize everything.
• What did I spend on software last quarter?
• Reconcile checking against a statement balance of $8,214.55.
• Anything unusual in the last 90 days?
• Close out the month and give me a P&L.

Claude reads statements you paste or attach, asks when a category is ambiguous, and posts everything as balanced journal entries. You review its work in the web app; the audit log shows every action.

Giving Claude a spreadsheet means trusting it not to make mistakes. Giving it LedgerMCP means it cannot make the expensive ones. Entries must balance to the cent or the database refuses them. Nothing is edited or deleted; corrections post as linked reversals. Replayed requests return the original entry instead of double-posting. The ledger enforces the rules so you do not have to check Claude's arithmetic.
