ChatGPT × Model Context Protocol

Import bank data into ChatGPT

To import bank data into ChatGPT without CSV uploads or pasted credentials, connect FINTECH_MCP as an MCP server. Follow the steps below to add the connector, sign in with OAuth, and ask ChatGPT about balances, transactions, and holdings.

Secure, read-only bank connections

You link banks and brokerages in your FINTECH_MCP dashboard through Plaid, the same connection layer used by major financial apps. Plaid handles login with your institution — ChatGPT never sees your bank password, and FINTECH_MCP stores only encrypted access tokens, not credentials.

When ChatGPT calls FINTECH_MCP, it gets read-only tool results: balances, transactions, spending breakdowns, and investment holdings. There are no tools to move money, initiate transfers, or change your accounts. You authorize access through OAuth and can revoke it anytime from your dashboard.

Analyze your finances in ChatGPT

Once connected, ChatGPT pulls live data through FINTECH_MCP and can work with it like a personal analyst — summarizing accounts, filtering transactions, and answering follow-up questions in plain language.

Ask for spending totals by category (groceries, dining, subscriptions, travel) or drill into specific merchants. ChatGPT can group transactions, compare months, flag recurring charges, and highlight where your money is going.

Responses can include markdown tables for line-by-line detail, bar or pie charts for category breakdowns, and simple trend views over a date range. You can also ask about investment holdings, net worth across accounts, or cash-flow summaries — all grounded in synced data, not guesses.

Example questions to ask ChatGPT about your finances
