Begin with context, not forms
Load the overview, ask only the missing questions, and save the facts you explicitly want remembered.
Memory should come from explicit approval, not inference.
Context is the MCP server for your memory and money. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any compatible client, then ask your assistant to understand spending, clean up transactions, keep rules current, and remember what you approve.

Most finance apps make AI live inside their app. Context does the opposite: it gives the assistant you already use a permissioned, structured way to work with your Era data and the actions you approve.
Add https://context.era.app as a Streamable HTTP MCP server in a compatible client. OAuth handles permission. Start with a read-only question so your assistant can see what your account, plan, and scopes allow.
Use the Era account that has the accounts, memory, and rules you want your assistant to use.
Choose Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers.
Add https://context.era.app as the MCP server URL.
Review the requested scopes, finish OAuth, and return to your AI client.
Try an overview, account list, or weekly summary before approving write or billing actions.
Era Context uses standard MCP over Streamable HTTP, so it can travel with you across clients that support remote MCP servers. OAuth is the normal path; API keys are there for developer-first tools.

Context currently includes 41 tools for memory, accounts, bank connections, transactions, insights, billing, and referrals. Your assistant only sees the tools allowed by your plan, scopes, and client.

Context is strongest when an assistant chains tools: read the picture, make a small approved change, then check its work. It does not move money or run itself on a schedule; connected clients and other servers can extend what happens next.
Load the overview, ask only the missing questions, and save the facts you explicitly want remembered.
Memory should come from explicit approval, not inference.
Find noisy merchants or categories, update the selected transactions, then rerun the analysis to prove the answer changed.
Transaction edits require write scope and selected transaction IDs.
Convert one-time cleanup into tags and automation rules, preview the effect, then verify it with period comparisons.
Rules keep changing future data, so agents should preview and ask before applying them.
Link money moved between your own accounts before forecasting, so cash flow is not inflated by duplicates.
Uncertain transfer matches should be confirmed with you.
Open the bank-connection flow, list the accounts that came back, and hide anything that should not affect analysis.
Disconnecting an institution is destructive and should require clear confirmation.
Review the current plan, compare options, preview exact cost changes, and only then confirm or open checkout.
Billing changes require the separate mcp:billing-write scope.
If your AI client supports routines or scheduled tasks, Context can supply the financial data for Friday briefs, subscription audits, and anomaly reviews.
Context supplies the data; your AI client controls when the routine runs.
Pair Context with email, calendar, Slack, docs, or spreadsheet servers to draft summaries, reminders, and reimbursement packets.
Sending financial summaries to another service requires separate authorization and review.
Only what you authorize. Context sends structured Era data and approved actions; it never gives the assistant your bank login.
Connected accounts, balances, groups, and visibility state.
Transactions, categories, tags, transfer links, recurring charges, and automation rules.
Spending, cash flow, forecasts, comparisons, and daily summaries built from Era data.
Financial memory you approved: goals, preferences, facts, and open questions.
Plan state, prices, previews, checkout, billing portal, and cancellation flows when scopes allow.
Referral links, enrollment, stats, and dashboard access.
Agents do not receive bank credentials.
Available tools can change by plan, approved OAuth scopes, connected accounts, and MCP client.
Context does not move money, pay bills, place trades, file taxes, or act outside the tools listed here.
Context makes agent access explicit: OAuth scopes limit what your assistant can do, safety labels mark sensitive tools, and higher-impact actions need the right permission.
OAuth protects the remote server and shows the scopes being requested.
Your assistant only sees and calls tools allowed by your account, plan, OAuth scopes, and safety rules.
Billing changes are outside the default scopes and require mcp:billing-write.
Destructive tools should be surfaced clearly by the client and confirmed by you.
Plan limits help prevent runaway agent loops.
You can revoke access by disconnecting the MCP client or the underlying account connection.
When a call fails, Context returns structured errors the client can explain.
Good prompts sound like jobs, not API calls. These examples work best when your accounts are connected and your client can combine MCP servers or run routines.
I'm thinking about booking this trip. Check my balances, recurring bills, and month-end forecast. What can I spend without touching my emergency fund?
Find every recurring charge across my accounts, show the monthly total, and make a rule that flags new subscriptions or price increases for my approval.
My coffee transactions are a mess. Clean up this year's purchases, tag them as daily habits, and make a rule so future coffee buys are tagged automatically.
Build me a work-travel reimbursement packet for last quarter. Find matching transactions, tag anything missing, summarize totals by merchant, and draft an email using my email connector.
Every Friday, send me a money brief with cash flow, unusual transactions, upcoming bills, and anything I should review. Use Context for the data and my email or Slack connector for delivery.
No. In a supported client, add the server URL and sign in with OAuth. Developer tools may also support API keys.
No. Context does not expose tools for transfer execution, bill pay, trading, or moving money.
Yes, with permission. Context can update selected transactions, tags, categories, rules, visibility, memory, connections, billing, and referrals within the scopes you approve.
Because Context is permissioned. Your plan, OAuth scopes, client support, and tool safety rules all affect what the assistant can see.
Billing changes require mcp:billing-write, which is not included in the default scopes. Destructive actions should also be confirmed by the client before they run.
Disconnect the MCP client or revoke the underlying account connection, depending on what you want to stop. You can also deny new OAuth authorization requests.
Yes, if your AI client supports routines or scheduled tasks. Context supplies the financial tools; the client controls when the routine runs.
Yes, if your AI client connects those servers too. Context supplies the financial data and actions; email, calendar, document, or spreadsheet servers handle where the result goes.
Usually the assistant is missing a scope, your plan does not include the tool, the request hit a rate limit, or an external service was unavailable.
The tool list comes from Era's live MCP server metadata, so it stays aligned with the tools your assistant can actually discover and call.
Create an Era account, add the MCP server, and ask one read-only question. When you're ready, approve bigger actions one at a time.
