    Already connected via the old api.ledgy.app address? It keeps working — no need to reconnect.

  4. That's it — just ask

    “How does my April spending compare to March?” Claude answers from your own data.

    “Log the €14 team lunch I just paid for.” Works in chat and in the composer.

Prefer to add it by hand?

Add this to your mcp.json (Cursor Settings → MCP), then complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted:

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manilo": { "url": "https://api.manilo.app/mcp" }
  }
}

  2. Sign in when prompted

    Your client completes OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) is supported, so no manual client_id or credential exchange is needed.

  3. That's it — same tools everywhere

    Every MCP client gets the same 30+ tools across transactions, accounts, budgets, and more.

Sees only what you ask about

The assistant gets the data your question needs. We don't push your full ledger to Anthropic or OpenAI on connection.

Your password stays yours

You sign in on Manilo's own consent page with Apple, Google, or email. The assistant never sees your password.

Disconnect any time

Remove the connector in your client's settings — Claude, ChatGPT, or any other. Revoking access takes effect immediately.
