Perplexity

Audit your accounts inside Claude Desktop

The `get_monzo_accounts` tool lists your active Monzo accounts right inside your chat interface. You don't have to wake your phone or log into the web portal just to find an account ID. Your agent uses this raw identifier to target other commands. It takes one quick query to map out your entire financial footprint.

Monitor live balances on demand

The `get_monzo_balance` tool pulls the exact, real-time balance of any specified Monzo account. Your agent reads the raw numbers instantly to tell you what you can safely spend. Skip the manual app-switching routine when you are planning budgets in your workspace. This MCP server feeds the exact ledger amounts directly to your chat window.

Analyze transactions with Claude Desktop MCP Server

The `get_monzo_transactions` tool retrieves your recent transaction ledger for deep financial analysis. Your agent parses the merchant names, timestamps, and exact amounts to categorize where your money went. Spotting trends becomes simple when you can ask your agent to group last week's coffee runs. It extracts the raw data feed so you can build instant spending summaries.
