Full bank account management in Claude Desktop

Handle your DDA lifecycle through the Claude interface. You can call `column_create_bank_account` to establish new accounts or use `column_get_balance` to check your current standing. Everything stays within your desktop environment. The MCP server talks directly to your bank data, so you see real-time figures instead of stale reports.

Execute complex money transfers via Claude Desktop

Trigger wire and ACH payments using natural language commands. Simply tell the agent to run `column_create_wire_transfer` to push funds or `column_create_ach_transfer` for external routing. This setup removes the need for manual banking portals. You define the transfer details, and the tool handles the execution securely.

Automate vendor payouts with Claude Desktop

Process legacy vendor payments by generating physical checks. Use `column_create_check` to initiate the mail-out process directly from your conversation. It handles the overhead of physical document generation for you. You just provide the payment details and the agent manages the rest.
