Claude
Your books, inside Claude
Ask what you spent, whether you are inside your budgets and what you are worth. It reads your ledger live, with nothing to install.
Server URL: https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal
Setup
A custom connector, and no file to edit
Claude adds a remote server from its own settings, so the address is the whole setup.
The steps
- Add a custom connector
- In Claude's settings, paste the server URL: https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal.
- Paste it whole
- Claude checks the address you typed against the one the server names for itself, character for character, so a URL without /personal at the end connects to a different door.
- Ask the first question
- Claude sends you to Orla's consent page, where you sign in and tick the spaces it may read.
- In Claude Code instead
- The terminal has a page of its own.
What to ask
Ask Claude the way you would ask a bookkeeper
Every figure comes from your own books, and is recomputed each time you ask.
- Compare my hosting spend this quarter with last quarter.
- Which budgets am I about to blow this month?
- Who owes whom in the flat this month?
- Run the cash forecast report and tell me the lowest point.
- Book the 12.50 EUR coffee yesterday to Restaurants.
You tick which spaces the client may reach, and one row in the app revokes it later. Card numbers and IBANs stay masked unless you switch that on.
The boundary
It reads and records. It does not pay
An agent that pays is a different connection, with its own wallet and its own limits.
Other clients
The same connection, seen from another chair
