Other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP can connect with the same URL (https://mcp.finta.io/mcp), including OpenAI Codex and other MCP-compatible assistants. Point the client at the URL and complete the Finta sign-in when prompted.
Using ChatGPT? Set up the Finta custom GPT instead.
Manage your connections
You can connect more than one AI client at the same time. Each sign-in is its own connection. Manage them all from the MCP page in the Finta dashboard (app.finta.io/mcp):- Switch between connected clients. Every connected tool appears in the list. Select one to see its details.
- Choose which accounts each client can read. Pick All accounts, including ones I connect later, or Only the accounts I choose and check the accounts the client may read. Changes are saved when you click Save changes and take effect immediately. There’s no need to disconnect and re-run the OAuth flow.
- Disconnect a tool. Revokes its access right away.
Troubleshooting
The waiting spinner never changes
The setup page in Finta checks for your connection every 15 seconds and switches to Connected on its own. If it keeps showing Waiting for connection:- Check that your AI tool finished the Finta sign-in. A Finta window should have opened and asked you to approve access. If it never opened, allow pop-ups for your AI tool and start the connection again.
- Make sure you approved access with the same Finta account you have open in the setup page. A connection approved from another account shows up in that account instead.
- Send your AI tool one message that uses Finta, such as “What accounts do I have in Finta?”. Finta marks the connection as soon as the tool makes its first request.
- Keep the setup page open. It checks again every 15 seconds on its own. After 5 minutes it stops and shows a Check again button, which starts the checks again.
The AI tool says the connection failed
- Check the server URL. It must be exactly
https://mcp.finta.io/mcp. - Remove the Finta connector or server from your AI tool.
- In Finta, open the MCP page and disconnect the old connection if it’s listed.
- Add Finta again with the steps above for your tool and complete the sign-in from the start.
The AI tool shows a subscription error
Finta MCP reads your financial data while your Finta trial or subscription is active. When it ends, data tools return a subscription error and the MCP page shows Access paused. Your AI tool can still check your setup withget_setup_status, which links to renewal. Renew from Billing, then try again in your AI tool. You don’t need to reconnect.
