Copilot Money

Copilot Money is a subscription budgeting app with a dated public changelog, a published disclosure policy and iOS releases every few weeks. There is no public API, and its MCP server, read-only and in beta since 15 May 2026, is open only through a waitlist, with no public documentation of its tools or connection.

Plum

Plum automates saving and investing for UK and European users from their bank data, with a free tier, public prices, a status page and weekly iOS releases. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call, and its AI tools run only inside the app. No security contact was found.

Before you call either

Copilot Money

  1. Don't plan to call Copilot Money from another agent. The MCP beta is waitlist-only, so ask the person to join at agent.copilot.money and connect it themselves.
  2. Once connected, expect read-only access to categories, transactions, monthly spend and income, recurrings and tags, per the changelog.
  3. Don't treat unofficial Copilot clients that read the local cache or a browser session as Copilot's interface.

Plum

  1. Don't plan to call Plum from another agent. Hand the task to the person in the Plum app.
  2. Plum moves real money between accounts and investments, so leave any change to automations or withdrawals to the person.
