[Blog](/blog)|Card Management Card Management Connect StackEasy to Claude, Claude Code, or ChatGPT through MCP and ask real questions about your own credit cards. Free setup, read-only access. [Troy Johnston](/about/troy-johnston) Founder, StackEasy.ai · 7 min read [Reviewed against our editorial policy](/editorial-policy/) · Card facts verified against the StackEasy card registry · Updated Sep 11, 2026 In This Article - [What MCP Is and Why It Matters for Your Cards](#section-1) - [How to Connect Claude or ChatGPT to StackEasy](#section-2) - [Which AI Apps Work With StackEasy](#section-3) - [What You Can Actually Ask It](#section-4) Here is what actually happens once you connect: the endpoint at https://data.stackeasy.ai/mcp exposes five tools split across two tiers. Free access runs on my\_cards, which lists your card names, issuers, and last four digits, and my\_best\_card\_for, which checks a spend category, say dining, travel\_airfare, or grocery, against your own wallet using StackEasy's effective-value engine, plus open catalog lookups (search\_cards, get\_card, effective\_value, list\_categories) that need no login at all. Premium unlocks three more: my\_balances\_due, my\_utilization, and my\_missed\_rewards, the tools that read your real account activity instead of just your card list. Add the connector in Claude, Claude Code, or ChatGPT's settings, sign in with your StackEasy account through the built-in OAuth 2.1 prompt, and every one of those tools becomes available inside the conversation. That matters most for the deadline most tracking tools miss entirely: when a 0% intro APR period actually ends. Premium's my\_balances\_due tool returns the APR end date alongside the current balance, credit limit, and payment due amount for every active card, so instead of digging back through statements you can just ask which of your cards is closest to losing its 0% window. - StackEasy's MCP connector works in Claude and Claude Code for everyone today, and in ChatGPT wherever the plan supports custom connectors. - Free access covers your card list, best-card-by-category picks, and lookups across the full card database. Premium adds balances, utilization, and a missed-rewards report. - Access is read only, uses the OAuth 2.1 standard to sign in, and you can revoke it anytime from the connector settings inside Claude or ChatGPT. ## What MCP Is and Why It Matters for Your Cards MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is a shared standard, not a StackEasy invention, that defines how an AI app like Claude or ChatGPT can securely connect to an outside service and use real data during a conversation. StackEasy's connector is listed in the official MCP registry alongside connectors for other tools, so any MCP-aware client can find and add it the same way. Before MCP, every AI answer about credit cards had to come from training data or a general web search. It could describe how the Chase Freedom Unlimited earns rewards, but it had no way to know which cards were actually in your wallet, what you had already spent this month, or which reward category you were about to waste. Once you connect StackEasy, that gap closes. This is one more reason to keep every card in one place instead of scattered across banking apps.

First, add the connector. In Claude, Claude Code, or ChatGPT, add https://data.stackeasy.ai/mcp as a custom connector. Second, sign in. The app opens an OAuth 2.1 prompt right inside the conversation, not a separate browser tab, and you sign in with your existing StackEasy account, or create a free one first. Third, ask anything. Once connected, you can ask what card is best for a purchase, which rewards you missed, or when your 0% APR period ends, and get answers pulled from your real account. If you do not have a StackEasy account yet, create one first and add your cards, since the connector only has as much to work with as your account does. Our [guide to apps for managing multiple cards](/blog/best-apps-managing-multiple-cards) covers what to look for in a tracking tool if you are still deciding where to keep your cards. The connector setup lives in a different place depending on the app. In Claude and Claude Code, look for connector or integration settings and paste in the endpoint. In ChatGPT, custom connectors live under the same settings menu where you manage plugins or actions, and availability depends on your plan. Once the connector is added, it stays connected across conversations until you remove it, so you only need to do this once. Pro Tip Ask a specific question instead of a general one. "Which of my cards has no foreign transaction fee" gets a sharper answer than "what card should I use abroad," because the AI can check your actual card list instead of guessing at what you own. ## Which AI Apps Work With StackEasy MCP is not exclusive to one AI app. Any client that supports the remote MCP standard can add the StackEasy connector, though support for custom connectors varies by app and plan. | AI App | Works Today | Setup | | --- | --- | --- | | Claude (claude.ai) | Yes, for everyone | Add as a custom connector | | Claude Code | Yes, for everyone | Add as a custom connector | | ChatGPT | Where the plan supports custom connectors or developer mode | Add as a custom connector | | Other remote MCP clients | Yes | Point the client at the endpoint | ## What You Can Actually Ask It Free access runs through my\_cards and my\_best\_card\_for, plus the catalog tools search\_cards, get\_card, effective\_value, and list\_categories, which need no account connection at all. Ask which of your cards has no foreign transaction fee, or search the catalog by issuer, annual fee cap, or reward category, and the AI checks real card data either way. Premium adds my\_balances\_due, my\_utilization, and my\_missed\_rewards, the three tools that read your real account activity. The my\_missed\_rewards tool pulls your last 20 transactions where a card you already own would have earned more than the one you used, down to the additional dollars each one cost you. If you are trying to keep several cards organized in one place, our [guide to building a credit stacking dashboard](/blog/credit-stacking-dashboard) covers the tracking habits that make those questions answerable in the first place. StackEasy's MCP connector links your account to Claude and ChatGPT. StackEasy Bottom Line StackEasy recommends adding https://data.stackeasy.ai/mcp as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT and signing in free. It takes about two minutes, the free tier already answers real questions about your cards, and access stays read only until you decide to revoke it. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What is MCP?** A: MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI apps like Claude and ChatGPT connect to outside accounts and tools with your permission.
