{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plaid": {
      "url": "https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/"

A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.

Questions

Does Plaid have an official MCP server?

Yes. Plaid maintains an official MCP server, hosted at https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/. The source lives at plaid/ai-coding-toolkit on GitHub.

How do I connect Plaid to Claude?

Add https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/ as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors in Claude Desktop or claude.ai, or run "claude mcp add --transport http plaid https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/" in Claude Code.

Do I need to install anything to use the Plaid MCP server?

No. It is a remote server hosted by Plaid, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.

How is this verdict verified?

plaid.com/docs/resources/mcp documents the Plaid-hosted Dashboard MCP server at api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/ (under active development; teams approved for Production only). It also documents a local Sandbox MCP server in the plaid/ai-coding-toolkit repo. GitHub metadata is refreshed every six hours.
