  • Free to start without a card

Watch for

No published rate limits of Apideck's own, only connector limits mirrored in headers

rotki MCP server E

Best for A Premium user who wants an assistant to answer questions about their own history, balances and cost basis on their own machine.

Also in its favour

  • Open source

Watch for

The desktop endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:4445/mcp takes no token, because the session key is forced empty outside Docker, so any local process can call it while the server runs

Verdicts

Apideck Accounting API + MCP

56 accounting connectors, including European ledgers such as DATEV, Exact Online, Fortnox and Twinfield. No published rate limits of Apideck's own, only connector limits mirrored in headers.

rotki MCP server

A read-only MCP server in the rotki desktop app, for Premium Basic at €25 a month and above. Privacy modes mask addresses and account names, but amounts, dates, assets and counterparties reach the connected assistant in every mode. The desktop endpoint takes no token, and the feature shipped in v1.44.0 on 21 August 2026.

Before you call either

Apideck Accounting API + MCP

  1. Stay in dynamic mode and search for tools. Static mode loads all 362 schemas
  2. Start the MCP with --lock-identity (or ?lock_identity=true) when one agent serves one customer
  3. Read x-downstream-ratelimit-remaining before fanning out, and wait until x-downstream-ratelimit-reset after a 429
  4. List before you retry a create that timed out. Writes aren't idempotent and there's no idempotency key
  5. Pass fields= on list calls to cut the response to the columns you need

rotki MCP server

  1. Ask the person to start the server under Settings > MCP in the desktop app, since it stays down until started, then connect to http://127.0.0.1:4445/mcp
  2. Call info first. It works without Premium and reports whether an unlocked backend is connected
  3. Call get_event_taxonomy before any aggregate over event_type, and sum on direction or event_group, since informational rows double count MEV and block rewards
  4. Call refresh_analytics_data before query_sql, and check source.completeness and unpriced_rows before reporting any total
  5. Check the privacy mode before answering from the data. Strict keeps amounts and dates, and raw sends addresses, hashes and notes verbatim
