# Monk — AI Connector Monk publishes 9 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/monk/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Finance](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/) # Monk Balance checks and collections queries against a Monk instance Listed in Claude · 9 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://docs.monk.com/) [monk.com](https://monk.com/) Overview ## What Monk does Monk is a finance platform, and this server connects an assistant to a specific Monk instance rather than to a shared dataset. The examples the publisher gives are checking balances and verifying collections, with querying and interaction bounded by the security roles already configured in that instance. Nine tools are published. The publisher describes authentication, authorization and risk mitigation as part of the server rather than layered on afterwards, which matters for a connector reaching a single tenant's ledger. The listing is filed under data and analytics as well as financial services. ### Who it is for Finance and collections staff working inside an organisation's Monk deployment. ### Tool surface Nine tools are listed and the endpoint requires credentials first, consistent with a server bound to one Monk deployment and leaving the surface undescribed here. Availability ## Where Monk is listed Monk is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Monk has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Monk publishes 9 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 41.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Finance publishes 12, so this one sits 3 tools below its bucket's median, 95th of 159. It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory. Monk publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Monk Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Financial Services Endpoint `https://app.monk.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://docs.monk.com/) Published tools 9 · 7-10 tools band Depth rank in Finance 95 of 159 Snapshot August 2026 Monk is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Monk describes it > The Monk MCP server enables AI assistants to connect directly to your Monk instance to get work done with natural language – checking balances, verifying collections, and more. It provides tools for querying and interacting with your data, with configurability and permissions enforced by security roles. The server maintains control through authenticate, authorization, and risk mitigation features. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026.
