Let Cascade use this MCP Server to map customer accounts

The `list_financial_companies` tool pulls the complete directory of your linked business entities directly into Cascade's context. Cascade then reads this list, identifies the target business, and runs `list_accounting_customers` without waiting for you to type the next prompt. You get a clean, structured view of customer accounts in seconds. Cascade chains these tools together to build custom accounting dashboards or reconciliation scripts on the fly.

Track sync progress and active data connections

The `get_data_sync_status` tool monitors the real-time status of your ongoing financial data imports. When Cascade detects a lag, it automatically triggers `list_data_connections` to inspect which accounting or commerce platforms are failing to update. This keeps your local workspace in sync with the actual ledger. Cascade handles the polling logic in the background, so you can write code instead of waiting for API payloads to clear.

Reconcile bank transactions against commerce sales

The `list_banking_transactions` tool fetches raw cash movements from your connected bank feeds. From there, Cascade pulls matching records using `list_commerce_orders` to cross-reference transactions against actual customer purchases. Instead of manual CSV exports, you let Cascade run the comparison logic directly in your editor. It flags discrepancies, locates missing invoices via `list_accounting_invoices`, and generates the fix.
