Connect Claude

Add Hunch to Claude yourself.

Six steps in Claude's own settings, about a minute. After that Claude can answer from your real accounts, transactions, budgets and investments — read-only, and only the categories you approve.

Hunch isn't in Claude's connector directory — you add it yourself

We have not submitted Hunch to Anthropic's directory, so searching Claude's connector list for “Hunch” will not turn anything up. You add it as a custom connector instead, by pasting one address. That takes about a minute, and the walkthrough below is all of it.

Before you start

Three things to check.

None of them costs anything on the Hunch side — connecting is free on every Hunch plan.

A Claude account, Free included

Custom connectors work on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Free is limited to one custom connector at a time, so if you already have one you will need to remove it before adding Hunch.

On Team or Enterprise, an Owner goes first

An organization Owner adds Hunch once under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Until they do, members cannot add it themselves. After that, each member connects their own Hunch account individually.

Nothing to install

Claude reads Hunch from Anthropic's servers, not from your device — the same on claude.ai, the desktop app and mobile. That is why there is no download step, and why the connector has to be a public https:// address rather than something running on your machine. Hunch's is.

The walkthrough

Add Hunch as a custom connector.

Keep this page open beside Claude and work down the list. The names in each step are the labels you will see on screen.

0 of 6 steps done
  1. 1

    Open Claude's connector settings

    In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors. On the web that is your profile menu → Settings; the desktop and mobile apps have the same Settings area.

    Connector address
    https://app.hunch.money/api/mcp
    Open Claude's connector settings

    A shortcut for step 1: it copies the address and opens the settings screen. It does not connect anything by itself — you still complete steps 2 to 6 inside Claude. Claude's settings address can change without notice, so if the new tab does not land on the Connectors screen, get there yourself as described in step 1.

  2. 2

    Start a custom connector

    At the top of the Connectors list, press the + button, then choose Add custom connector.

  3. 3

    Paste the Hunch address

    Put the connector address into the URL field. Nothing else is required. Claude also offers Advanced settings for an OAuth client ID and secret — Hunch needs neither, so leave both blank.

    https://app.hunch.money/api/mcp
  4. 4

    Add it, then connect

    Press Add. Claude then hands you off to Hunch's own sign-in page — your Hunch password and two-factor code go to Hunch, never to Claude.

  5. 5

    Choose what Claude may read

    Hunch shows a consent screen listing each category: accounts and balances, transactions, investments, budgets and goals. Approve the request as a whole. If you share a household, the default is Share only my data — leave it there unless you mean to include your partner's shared data.

  6. 6

    Check it, then ask something

    Back in Claude, Hunch should now appear in the Connectors list as connected. Ask it a real question — “how much did I spend on groceries last month?” — to confirm it can see your data.

How you will know it worked

Two screens appear in order: Hunch's own sign-in page, then a Hunch consent screen listing the categories being requested. Approve, and Claude shows Hunch as connected. If you never saw the consent screen, nothing was granted — go back to the step where you pressed Add.

If it didn't work

The four things that usually go wrong.

Roughly in order of likelihood. If none of these is it, Anthropic's help article above is the next stop.

01

There is no option to add a custom connector

On Team or Enterprise, an organization Owner has to add Hunch once before members can use it. On Free, you get one custom connector at a time — if you already have one, remove it and try again.

02

Claude will not accept the address

Almost always the address itself. It has to be exactly https://app.hunch.money/api/mcp — with https:// at the front and no trailing space. Copying it by hand from a screen is where the stray space usually comes from; use the copy button and paste it in one go.

03

It is asking for a client ID and secret

That is Claude's optional Advanced settings section. Hunch does not use it — leave both fields blank. Registration happens automatically when you connect.

04

It connected, but says it cannot see your data

Check which categories you actually approved on the Hunch consent screen — if transactions was left off, Claude cannot see them. Settings → Security → Connected apps in Hunch shows what each connection was granted. And on Free, anything older than 12 months is outside the window on purpose.

What it can and can't do

Read-only, and only what you approved.

There are no write permissions in this release — not restricted ones, none at all.

What it can do

  • Read the categories you approve: accounts and balances, transactions, investments, budgets and goals.
  • Work from totals calculated on Hunch's side, so the figures match what the app shows you.
  • Tell you when it cannot see far enough back, instead of guessing.
  • Be revoked at any time from Settings → Security → Connected apps in Hunch — access stops within about a minute.

What it can't do

  • Move money, pay a bill or transfer anything.
  • Change a budget, recategorize a transaction, rename anything or delete anything.
  • See a category you did not approve when you connected it — including your household's shared data unless you granted that too.
  • See further back than your Hunch plan does.

Never shared with Claude: your Hunch password, your two-factor secrets, and your bank credentials — Hunch never holds your bank login in the first place. What you do approve is sent to Anthropic when you ask a question. That is how it answers, and it lands under their privacy terms rather than ours.

History

Your plan sets how far back it can see.

The connection reads exactly as far back as your plan does — 12 months on Free, 24 months on Plus, unlimited on Pro. A Free connection cannot answer a year-over-year question, and it says so rather than narrating a trend it never saw.

Households

Household access exposes your partner's shared data

Granting the household permission lets Claude read everything your household shares with you — including your partner's shared accounts and transactions. They were never asked. That is why the consent screen defaults to Share only my data, and why every other household member is emailed when a household-wide connection is granted.

FAQ

Questions about connecting Claude

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

+

No. Custom connectors work on Claude Free as well as Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Free is limited to one custom connector at a time, so Hunch has to be the one you keep. Connecting is free on every Hunch plan too.

Does Claude run this on my computer?

+

No. Claude connects from Anthropic's servers rather than from your device, and that is true on claude.ai, the desktop app and mobile alike. There is nothing to install; it does mean the connector has to be publicly reachable over https, which Hunch's is.

Do I need to fill in Advanced settings?

+

No. Claude offers an optional client ID and secret there; Hunch registers automatically and needs neither. Leave both blank.

Is Hunch in Claude's connector directory?

+

No, and we have not submitted it. You add it yourself as a custom connector using the address on this page. If that ever changes we will say so here.

How do I disconnect it?

+

In Hunch: Settings → Security → Connected apps. Revoking there ends access within about a minute. Removing the connector inside Claude stops Claude using it, but revoking in Hunch is the step that actually withdraws access.

Does connecting cost extra?

+

No. It is free on every Hunch plan, including Free. The only thing your plan changes is how far back Claude can read.

Can chat see my bank account?

+

Yes — once you connect a bank account to Hunch, any AI assistant you've added as a connector (Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible one) can read its balances and transactions. It can't see anything you haven't connected, and it can't move money.

Can I ask chat about my spending?

+

Yes — that's the main use case. Ask things like "what did I spend on groceries last month" or "am I over budget" and it reads live from Hunch.

Does this work with chat gpt?

+

Yes. ChatGPT is one of two assistants with a full walkthrough on this site — Claude is the other — but Hunch's connector is built on MCP, the open standard, so it works with any compatible assistant.

Free on every Hunch plan. Read-only. Off the second you say so.
