Money Forward, Inc. announced today that it has begun providing its 'Remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server'—a system that executes accounting tasks through AI agents—to all users of its cloud-based 'Money Forward Cloud Accounting' software. Simultaneously, the company has opened its external system integration APIs, previously restricted to a limited user base, to all plan levels.
By opening the MCP Server and APIs to all users, Money Forward aims to support back-office efficiency through seamless data integration and autonomous business processing powered by AI.
### About the MCP Server
The MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI agents (MCP clients) and 'Money Forward Cloud Accounting.' Through this server, AI agents can autonomously perform operations on the platform on behalf of the user. Without traditional manual interface operations, users can complete accounting tasks such as journal entries, ledger searches, data verification, and report generation simply by instructing their preferred AI agent. The service is compatible with major AI tools including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.
The system supports both Local MCP Servers (running on the user's PC) and Remote MCP Servers (running in the cloud). While local servers require users to build and maintain their own environments, Money Forward offers Remote MCP Servers to meet the demand for fast and easy AI integration. Because these are hosted on Money Forward's cloud infrastructure, users can securely begin automating tasks with minimal setup and no complex environment configuration.
Moving forward, the company plans to further improve convenience by extending authentication sessions and automating re-authentication via the MCP Server.
### About the API
By providing the 'Money Forward Cloud Accounting' API to all plans, the company enables integration with external systems, enhancing flexibility for data entry and reference. Initial features include 'Journal Data Reference/Registration' and 'Trial Balance Reference.' Future updates will include transaction detail management and expanded report access, such as departmental summary tables.
### Background
Money Forward is pursuing a new user experience (UX) that merges SaaS and AI under the vision of 'From Cloud to AI.' To this end, the company has been developing APIs and building MCP Server infrastructure. Previously, these tools were limited to specific professional firms (such as Platinum-ranked certified members). However, given the growing expectations for environments where AI agents autonomously perform tasks, the company decided to open the MCP Server and API to all plans to provide the value of high-flexibility data utilization and AI-driven automation to a wider audience.
