Claude connector directory
The Claude connector that keeps real books
LedgerMCP is a bookkeeping connector in Claude's directory. One click, a 6-digit email code, and Claude is working on a real double-entry ledger: importing statements, categorizing, reconciling, and reporting. Free to start.
Connected from the directory
Add the connector in three steps
If you have used any directory connector, this works the same way.
- 1
Open the connector directory
In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors, and click the + to browse the directory. From a chat, the + button, then Connectors, gets you to the same place.
- 2
Find LedgerMCP and click Connect
Search for LedgerMCP in the directory list. There is no URL to paste and nothing to install.
- 3
Sign in with an email code
Claude opens a LedgerMCP sign-in. Enter your email and the 6-digit code it sends. New accounts are created on the spot, free, during this step.
Then hand Claude the books. Ask Claude to set up your books, then give it a bank statement. It imports, categorizes, reconciles, and reports from there. The official listing lives in Claude’s directory: LedgerMCP in the Claude connector directory. The full tutorial, including example prompts and recipes, is on the Claude bookkeeping page.
What is a connector, and why is this one different?
A Claude connector is an integration you add from the directory in Settings. Under the hood, every connector is an MCP server: a service exposing named tools Claude can call. Most connectors let Claude read things: files, messages, tickets. Our primer What are Claude connectors? covers the mechanics.
LedgerMCP is a different kind: it is a system of record Claude can operate. The connector exposes a complete double-entry accounting system as 66 tools, 25 read and 41 write. Claude does not summarize your books; it keeps them, and the database enforces the accounting rules so it cannot break them. The full tool surface is documented at /docs.

What Claude does once connected
The connector turns conversations into bookkeeping. A few of the jobs people hand it on day one:
Import and categorize
Reconcile to the bank
Close and report
Personal finances work too: books can be business or personal under one account. See personal finance with your AI.
Using an API key instead
Claude Desktop MCP configs, Claude Code, Cursor, and custom agents connect to the same server with an API key instead of the directory. Mint one in Settings → Agent access; one key covers every book in your account, and read-only keys are available for agents that should analyze but never write.
ChatGPT users: the same server connects as a ChatGPT connector too. The walkthrough is on the ChatGPT bookkeeping page, and the developer-flavored setup is on the Cursor page.

}Common questions
Is there a Claude connector for bookkeeping?
Yes. LedgerMCP is a bookkeeping connector listed in Claude’s connector directory, and once connected Claude keeps real double-entry books.
What is a Claude connector, exactly?
An integration Claude can use from claude.ai, the desktop app, and mobile; under the hood each one is an MCP server exposing named tools Claude can call. The directory is Anthropic’s catalog of them, so adding one is a click instead of a config file.
Does the LedgerMCP connector cost anything?
No. The connector and the software are free: unlimited books, CSV import, all reports. Live bank feeds via Plaid start at $9 per month pooled across every book, and the Growth and Scale plans include a built-in AI assistant. You also need a Claude plan that supports connectors, which is a question of your Anthropic subscription, not ours.
Is it safe to let a connector write to my books?
This one is built for it. Entries must balance to the cent or the database refuses them, postings are immutable with corrections as linked reversals, and every write lands in an audit log with one-click reverse. A duplicate request posts nothing twice. Claude can do the work; it cannot corrupt the ledger.
Does the connector work in the Claude mobile app?
Yes. LedgerMCP is hosted rather than software on your computer, so it works anywhere your Claude account does: claude.ai in a browser, the desktop app, and the iOS and Android apps.
What about Claude Code, Claude Desktop MCP configs, or Cursor?
Same server, different door: mint an API key in Settings → Agent access and add the standard MCP config.
Is my financial data used to train Claude?
LedgerMCP never trains on your books. Bring your own AI, or use the optional built-in assistant. What Claude does with conversation data is governed by your Anthropic plan and settings. Bank credentials never pass through either company: Plaid handles bank connections, and tokens are encrypted at rest.
