Connect Grok Bot to your bank account.

Grok Bot becomes genuinely useful with money the moment it can see yours. Candor gives Grok Bot bank-grade, read-only sight of your real accounts plus the memory and finance skills to act like someone paid to watch them. Setup takes minutes, Grok Bot does the work, and Candor gives it no way to move a dollar.

How it works with your agent

  1. 01Create your Candor workspace at candor.money and connect accounts through the bank-grade, read-only flow. You see the price before anything private.
  2. 02Tell Grok Bot to set up Candor. It fetches the candor-finance skill into its own cloud computer and adds Candor's remote MCP server itself.
  3. 03Approve Grok Bot's access in your browser through Candor's OAuth page. Your bank credentials are never part of this step.
  4. 04Ask Grok Bot for a first review. It opens the workspace, reads your records, and shows you what it caught. Tell it the cadence you want and it keeps watching.

Can Grok Bot see my bank account?

Yes. Connect Grok Bot to Candor and it can read your accounts, balances, transactions, debts, and holdings across institutions. The access is read-only by architecture: through Candor, Grok Bot can see everything and move nothing.

On its own, Grok Bot can only talk about money in general. Connected to Candor, it works from your actual records: every account in one organized workspace, refreshed and queryable, with the freshness, coverage, and history behind every number. That is the difference between advice from a smart stranger and advice from something that can check.

Candor is the financial workspace built for this. It holds the bank-grade connections, normalizes the records, and hands Grok Bot deterministic datasets, durable memory for budgets and goals, and finance skills that teach it how disciplined money work is actually done.

How to connect Grok Bot to your bank account

Three moves: create your Candor workspace on the web, have Grok Bot install the candor-finance skill and Candor's remote MCP server, and approve its access in your browser. Most people are done inside ten minutes.

Start at candor.money. The web flow owns signup and the secure, read-only account connection, and it shows the price before you connect anything private. When your workspace is ready, it hands you one line to paste to Grok Bot.

From there, Grok Bot handles its own setup. It reads Candor's start materials, fetches the candor-finance skill into its own cloud computer and adds Candor's remote MCP server itself, and tells you what it is installing as it goes, under your agent's own permission prompts. The approval only you can give comes last: Grok Bot's access to your workspace, on Candor's OAuth page in your browser. Bank passwords, codes, and account numbers never pass through the chat.

What can Grok Bot do once it sees your money?

The work you would pay an advisor for: catch duplicate charges and price jumps, flag avoidable fees and idle cash, keep budgets and goals current, and remember every decision with the records behind it.

Connected, Grok Bot runs real investigations instead of generic tips: the subscription that quietly went up, the trial about to convert, the refund that never landed, the cash earning almost nothing while debt costs more. Each finding comes with the transactions that prove it, so you check the work instead of trusting it.

And it compounds. Grok Bot records budgets you approve, goals you set, decisions you make, and the follow-through, in a workspace that outlives any single conversation. Next month it is not starting over; it is picking up where it left off.

Grok Bot sets itself up

Grok Bot runs on its own cloud computer, so it can read Candor's start page, fetch the finance skill, add the MCP server, and ask you only for the browser approval.

Paste the setup message and the Bot does the rest: it pulls the skill from Candor's public package, adds https://api.candor.money/mcp as a remote MCP server, and opens Candor's approval page for you. Nothing is installed on your own machine. Ongoing checks on a schedule are a separate choice you make with the Bot afterward.

Is it safe to connect Grok Bot to your bank account?

Yes. No Candor tool can move money, pay, trade, or change anything at your bank; the connections are read-only, every read is logged with a reason, and you can revoke Grok Bot's access at any time.

The safe pattern is sight without hands. Candor connects to your institutions through bank-grade, read-only infrastructure, and the tool surface it hands Grok Bot contains nothing that transfers, pays, trades, or closes. That boundary is architecture, not policy. Whatever else Grok Bot can do with its own tools stays under the authority you give it; Candor adds sight, never new powers.

You stay in control of the connection itself: approve it in your browser, watch what it reads in the audit history, and cut it off from your Candor account whenever you want. Every workspace read carries a recorded reason, so there is always an answer to what your agent looked at and why.

Common questions

Does Grok Bot connect directly to my bank?
No, and that is the point. Candor holds the bank-grade, read-only connection to your institutions. Grok Bot gets OAuth-scoped access to the organized workspace, so your bank credentials never touch the agent or the chat.
Can Grok Bot move my money through Candor?
No. Candor has no tool that moves money, makes a payment, trades, or changes anything at your bank or broker. Grok Bot reads your records, does the math, and shows its work; anything that touches your accounts happens through you.
Which accounts can Grok Bot see once connected?
Checking, savings, credit cards, loans, and investment accounts across your institutions. You choose what to connect in Candor's secure flow, and you can disconnect an institution at any time without touching the others.
What does this cost?
Candor is a flat subscription, and you see the price in the web flow before anything private is connected. Grok Bot's own subscription is separate and stays whatever you already pay for it.
How do I disconnect Grok Bot later?
Revoke Grok Bot's access from your Candor account controls and it loses the workspace immediately. You can also disconnect a connected institution, export your organized data, or delete your Candor data; some records may remain where security or legal retention requires it.
Do I need to install anything on my computer?
No. Grok Bot's computer is in the cloud. The skill and the MCP connection live there, and the only step on your side is approving Candor access in your browser.
