Connect Neto to your AI: what it can and cannot do

Since November 2026, Neto can be connected to an AI assistant. Instead of opening the app, you tell your assistant "how much have I spent this month?" or "log 12 euros for lunch", and it talks to your Neto account.

Connect Neto to your AI: what it can and cannot do
THE ESSENTIALS

Neto has a connector that links your account to the AI assistant you choose, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Grok. You can ask it how much you have spent this month, or tell it to log an expense without opening the app. It is optional, it is part of Neto Pro and you turn it on yourself. The assistant can read your data and, only if you grant that permission, add, change and delete. It cannot change your password, delete your account, connect to your bank or move real money. Any change can be undone for 30 days.

It is optional, it is part of Neto Pro, and you turn it on yourself. This guide explains in plain words what it can do, what it cannot do, and how to remove it.

01

What it is, without the jargon

Neto has a door your assistant can knock on. The door stays shut until you open it: you sign in with your Neto account and accept a screen that tells you exactly what the assistant will be able to do.

That door uses a standard called MCP (Model Context Protocol), the same one most assistants use today to connect to applications. That is why it does not depend on a single brand.

The address is always this one, and it is the only official one:

https://api.netoapp.es/api/mcp

If you ever see another address claiming to be Neto's connector, it is not ours.

02

Which assistants it works with

We have tested the connector with Claude and with Grok. Because it uses an open standard, it also works with any other program that speaks it, including ones that run on your own computer, such as Cursor or Visual Studio Code.

The list grows without us touching anything: when a new assistant adopts the standard, Neto's connector works with it too.

We have a step by step guide to connect it to Claude, which is the easiest route today.

03

What you can ask it

Grouped by what you will actually use:

Ask about your money

  • "How much have I spent this month, and on what?"
  • "Am I going over any budget?"
  • "How far am I from my savings goal?"
  • "How has my net worth moved this year?"
  • "How does my grocery spending compare with last month?"

Log things without opening the app

  • "Log 23.40 euros of fuel for today."
  • "I bought 100 euros of bitcoin from my Revolut account."
  • "Add a 9.99 subscription charged on the 3rd of every month."
  • "Create a savings goal of 2,000 for the summer."

Tidy up what you already have

  • "Change the category of that expense to Transport."
  • "Raise my entertainment budget to 150."
  • "Delete the duplicate transaction from Tuesday."

And fix it when it gets things wrong

  • "What did you change today?"
  • "Undo the last change."
04

What it cannot do

This is the part almost nobody spells out, and it is the part that puts people at ease:

  • It cannot change your password or touch how you sign in to Neto.
  • It cannot delete your Neto account.
  • It cannot connect to your bank, because Neto does not connect to any bank. We never ask for your banking credentials, and we do not hold them.
  • It does not move real money. When you ask it to record a transfer between your accounts or a fund purchase, what it does is an entry in your own books, exactly as if you had typed it in the app. It issues no instruction to a bank or a broker.
  • It does not see your conversation. Neto receives specific requests about your account, not what you discuss with the assistant, nor its history, nor your files.
05

What leaves Neto, and what we keep

Only what the assistant looks up to answer you or what you ask it to do. If you ask about October, it receives your October transactions, not your whole account.

That data reaches the company behind the assistant you chose, and that company handles it on its own terms, under its own policy. We do not choose it and we do not control it. Before connecting, it is worth checking in your account with that assistant whether it keeps your conversations or uses them to train its models.

On our side we keep three things and nothing else:

WhatHow longDetail
Activity log90 daysWhich action was requested, when, how many records it touched. Never amounts or merchants
Changes, so you can undo them30 daysWhat the data looked like before and after
Access keys1 hour eachOnly an encrypted fingerprint. The connection expires after 90 days

Neto does not train any AI model on your data.

06

Undo: the safety net

An AI can get things wrong. That is why the connector does not simply let it write:

  • You can ask it for the log of what it did over the last 90 days.
  • You can undo any change for 30 days, one by one, because the app stores how the data looked before.

One habit that works well: before asking for something that touches several transactions, say "show me the list before you change anything". That way you see what it is about to touch.

07

How to disconnect it

Whenever you want, from the assistant itself, or from Neto in Settings → Connections. Access is cut off immediately: the next request is already rejected.

One detail almost nobody mentions: disconnecting does not delete what the assistant already received. That lives in your conversation with it. If you want it gone, delete that conversation.

08

What if I would rather not connect it?

That is fine. Neto works exactly the same without it. The connector is one more way to log and check things, like receipt scanning or widgets, not a part the app depends on.

If privacy is what is holding you back, we wrote a separate guide: is it safe to connect your finances to ChatGPT?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Neto Pro to connect an AI?

Yes. The connector is a Neto Pro feature, and the permissions screen checks it before letting the assistant in.

Which assistants work with Neto?

We have tested Claude and Grok. Because it uses the MCP standard, it also works with other compatible clients, including programs that run on your own computer.

Can the AI take money out of my account?

No. Neto does not connect to any bank and does not move real money. What the assistant records are entries in your own books inside Neto.

Can I let it read but not write?

Yes. Write access is a separate permission that you accept on the permissions screen. If you do not grant it, the assistant can only look things up.

What if the AI makes a mistake and deletes something?

You can undo any change made from the assistant for 30 days, and see the log of what it did for 90.

Does Neto use my data to train AI models?

No. Neto does not train any model on your data. What the assistant you connect does with them depends on its company and on your settings with it.
