Double-entry bookkeeping Claude can keep.
Connected from the directory
I just connected LedgerMCP. Set up books for my design studio.
Done. I created a business book with a standard chart of accounts. Hand me a bank statement or a CSV and I will import and categorize it, then we can reconcile.

04 Hand over the books · import_transactions
Ask Claude to set up your books, then give it a bank statement. It imports, categorizes, reconciles, and reports from there.
Here’s my June statement.
84 rows imported, 81 categorized, 3 flagged for you.
02 · The difference
Claude works inside a full double-entry ledger.
Files, messages, tickets: that is what a connector usually opens to Claude. LedgerMCP opens a complete accounting system, and the database enforces the rules so Claude cannot break them.

An API key instead of the directory.
Claude Desktop MCP configs, Claude Code, Cursor, and custom MCP clients connect to the same server with an API key. Create one in Settings, under Your AI. Read-only keys are there for a client that should look but never write.
ChatGPT users: the same server connects as a ChatGPT connector too. ChatGPT bookkeeping →

Questions
Yes. LedgerMCP is a bookkeeping connector listed in Claude’s connector directory, and once connected Claude keeps real double-entry books.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Same server, different door: mint an API key in Settings → Your AI and add the standard MCP config.
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.
Find LedgerMCP in the connector directory.
No card. Nothing runs on your computer.
