Connect Postbank to Claude Code

This guide gives Claude Code read-only access to your Postbank account. You sign in to Postbank once in its own web form, add BankingMCP to Claude Code, and ask about balances and transactions. No app, no code.

BankingMCP€5 a month

Short answer

Yes, Postbank works. It is in the bank directory BankingMCP connects through, via XS2A (PSD2). Your assistant gets your balance and transactions, read-only, for €5 a month after a 7-day free trial. Nothing to install. Claude Code reads your Postbank accounts through BankingMCP: list accounts, read balances, search transactions. It cannot move money.

Guide: connecting Postbank to Claude Code

Two parts, about five minutes: first you share your Postbank accounts with BankingMCP, then you add BankingMCP to Claude Code.

Share Postbank with BankingMCP

  1. Create a BankingMCP account and start the 7-day free trial. You add payment details at Stripe, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial.
  2. In BankingMCP, search for “Postbank” and sign in to Postbank in its own web form with Postbank ID / FKN. Your banking credentials never reach us.

Add BankingMCP to Claude Code

  1. Run the command shown here in your terminal.
  2. Start claude, run /mcp and authenticate: signing in happens in your browser.
  3. Ask Claude Code your first question, for example: “What's the balance on my Postbank account right now?”
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user \
  bankingmcp https://banking-mcp.com/api/mcp

This address is the same for everyone, so it isn't a secret. Claude Code asks you to sign in and you approve the connection here.

Good to know about Postbank

  • Postbank asks for your Postbank ID and password. You approve with BestSign, as in online banking.
  • Search for “Postbank” in the connection form. Postbank operates under 73 bank codes; if its name doesn't find it, your account's bank code will.
  • If you share several accounts at Postbank, your assistant sees all of them. You can add more accounts later with one click.
  • Banks ask you to confirm access again after a set period. BankingMCP shows you when the Postbank consent expires; after that you log in once more.

Good to know about Claude Code

  • The user scope keeps the entry in your home folder. Avoid the project scope, which writes it to .mcp.json in your repository.

Postbank runs on Deutsche Bank's platform

Since July 2023 Postbank accounts run on Deutsche Bank's systems – about twelve million customers moved in that project. That's why login and approval work as at Deutsche Bank: Postbank ID, password and BestSign.

For your assistant nothing changes: it reads balances and transactions of the accounts you share, read-only.

As of November 2026, from Postbank's online banking form and press reports on the Unity migration. Banks change their products; check with the bank for the current state.

  • “Which subscriptions are still charging my Postbank account?”
  • “Did both tenants pay their rent this month?”

Connecting Postbank through regulated bank access

  • Read-only. Over MCP your assistant only gets read tools: it can list accounts, read balances and search transactions. There is no payment tool in this connection.
  • You log in at Postbank itself. Access runs through finAPI, a PSD2-licensed account information service, and your banking credentials never reach BankingMCP.
  • BankingMCP doesn't keep your balances and transactions; it fetches them for each question your assistant asks. Only account details and an access log, kept for 90 days, are stored.
  • Every assistant gets its own address. Deactivate one and its access to your Postbank account stops immediately.

Questions about Postbank

What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT use outside tools. BankingMCP makes your Postbank account available as an MCP server, so your assistant looks up balances and transactions directly instead of you uploading bank statements.
Does BankingMCP support Postbank?
Yes. Postbank is listed in the bank directory with a XS2A (PSD2) interface, which is how BankingMCP connects. The live check on this page confirms your exact institution.
Do I need to install an app to use Postbank with Claude Code?
No. BankingMCP runs in the browser on any computer or phone. You connect Postbank once, then add one address to Claude Code.
Does my assistant see my Postbank balance?
Yes, along with your transactions. Your assistant reads the balance when it asks, together with the time Postbank last delivered it.
How up to date are my Postbank transactions?
Your assistant fetches your balance and transactions with every question and gets them as Postbank last delivered them, with a timestamp. If the Postbank consent expires, it only sees the last state until you log in again – and tells you so.
Can I use Postbank together with other banks?
Yes. Connect up to 50 accounts across several banks, personal and business. Your assistant answers across all of them, and the price stays at €5 a month.
What do I need to log in to Postbank?
Postbank's own login form asks for: Postbank ID / FKN. You enter them at Postbank, not at BankingMCP and not in the chat.
Does my assistant see my Postbank login?
No. You log in at Postbank in its own web form. Neither BankingMCP nor your assistant ever receives your PIN, password or TAN.
Do I need programming skills to use Postbank with Claude Code?
No. You connect Postbank in the browser and add one address to Claude Code. Every assistant has a step-by-step guide.
Can my assistant transfer money from my Postbank account?
No. The connection is read-only and has no payment tool. Payments are planned as a separate feature, where you approve every transfer in your own banking app.
What happens if I want to cut off access?
Each assistant has its own address. Deactivate or remove the one you gave Claude Code and it stops working immediately, without touching your other assistants.
