What is Fi MCP?
Fi MCP is a programmable context protocol for personal finance, built atop Fi Money's Net Worth feature. It creates a real-time, unified data stream of your financial life—including mutual funds, stocks, loans, credit cards, and government instruments—and makes this live data accessible to AI-powered tools through a secure, standards-based interface. Unlike traditional, static dashboards, Fi MCP allows you to interact dynamically with your entire net worth from any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
