How to let Claude see my Plaid bank data
FinContext has launched a new service that allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to securely access personal bank account data via Plaid. The service, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), aims to provide AI with real-time financial information for personalized advice.
