Not the same
BankingMCP is not BankMCP: two products, two makers
The names are three letters apart, so people mix them up, and so do search engines. BankingMCP at banking-mcp.com is a hosted service by Escher Consulting GmbH in Dortmund, Germany. BankMCP™ at bankmcp.dk is an open-source project you run yourself on your own server. Both connect bank accounts to AI assistants over MCP. Beyond that they share nothing: different maker, different code, different bank access. There is no partnership and no common origin.

Address: banking-mcp.com or bankmcp.dk

Ready-made service or your own server
With BankingMCP you sign up, connect your bank and paste an address into your assistant. BankMCP says it has no hosted version: you install it yourself, for example on Railway, Fly, Render, with Docker or locally with npx.
finAPI or Enable Banking
BankingMCP fetches your account data through finAPI, an account information service supervised by BaFin. BankMCP uses Enable Banking, where you register your own app with your own key.
Subscription or MIT licence
BankingMCP costs €5 a month including VAT after a 7-day trial. BankMCP is free under the MIT licence; you pay only for the server it runs on.
