How Atomic Agent connects to Money Forward

Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.

What is the Money Forward MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Money Forward MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Money Forward account. It provides structured and secure access to your tenant details, accounting offices, journals, transactions, master data, vouchers, and financial reports, so your agent can review accounting information, create and update records, manage trade partners and vouchers, and generate financial reports on your behalf.

  • Accounting office and setup details: Have your agent identify your Money Forward tenant, list accessible accounting offices, review accounting periods, and check connected financial accounts.
  • Journal and transaction management: Let the agent list, create, update, journalize, and delete accounting journals, while also creating and reviewing manual transactions.
  • Accounting master data: Direct your agent to find accounts, sub-accounts, departments, tax categories, trade partners, and accounting-year settings for accurate record keeping.
  • Vouchers and trade partners: Instruct your agent to create voucher files, attach them to journals, detach them when needed, and create or list trade partners.
  • Financial reporting: Have your agent retrieve trial balances and monthly account balance trends for balance-sheet or profit-and-loss review.

Use Money Forward from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Money Forward in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

Troubleshooting

Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See Composio pricing for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Money Forward MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Money Forward tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Money Forward and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Money Forward tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Money Forward scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Money Forward data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
