For Auto Repair Shops

Your AI can run your auto shop's books. Really.

Add the FinStat connector to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, or Claude Desktop with Cowork. Then drop in your repair invoices, parts bills, counter receipts, and bank and Visa statements, and it hands you a review-ready P&L, every transaction tied to its source.

Pick your setup. Books in minutes.

FinStat needs an AI that can open files or folders on your computer — not just a connector in Settings. Seeing FinStat’s tools is not the same as FinStat being able to access the files you want it to.

Your computer

Setups that can reach your files

Claude Code

verified on Windows

Reads the folder you launch it in

Run thisclaude mcp add --transport http finstat https://mcp.finstat.ai/mcp

Open Claude Code in the folder that holds your documents.
Run the command above — it installs FinStat directly, no prompting needed.
Sign in when the browser opens — your free 1M tokens load automatically.
Ask it to run your books on the files in that folder.

You don’t need real statements or documents to learn FinStat. Say “Run FinStat Tutorial” or “Get Started” — your AI can make sample documents and walk you through all of it.

Working in a browser tab?

To run books, use a desktop AI that can reach your files. Browser chat alone isn’t enough for FinStat — even if FinStat appears under your connectors.

It really is that easy.

What is MCP?

The parts that eat your evening. FinStat catches every one.

PAIN_01

Arizona TPT applies to parts at 8.05% but labor is exempt, so every invoice has to keep taxable parts and non-taxable labor on separate lines

PAIN_02

Weekly batch deposits roll up many jobs at once — a single 2,590.32 engine overhaul just gets absorbed into the week's lump deposit

PAIN_03

Parts go out two ways — a monthly account with Mesa Auto Parts and one-off counter buys on the Visa — and both have to be reconciled

The catch other tools miss

It ties the $4,281.50 Mesa Auto Parts account bill to its ACH payment and the $148.22 Ratchet Parts receipt to the Visa, then flags a $260.00 City of Mesa business-license bill that's actually from January — old paperwork with no matching April or May payment — and a $139.20 Visa charge whose May statement isn't in the folder.

Three steps. Every one secure.

Connect once.

Paste the FinStat connector into your AI host (Claude, Cursor, etc.). Sign in — your free tokens load. No card. Then say: help me get started.

Scoped sign-inYou authenticate with FinStat — your AI never handles your password, and the connector is scoped to the accounting task.

Hand over the documents.

Give your AI your statements, payouts, receipts, and bills — attach them, or on a setup that reads folders, point it at one: run my books on the files in this folder.

Task-scoped dataYour statements are used only to do the job you asked for — not sold, not shared.

Ask for any report.

“Give me a P&L.” “Reconcile May.” “Show every uncategorized transaction.” Review-ready accounting output, in chat.

Nothing off-screenEvery transaction, entry, and assumption shows up in the conversation — your session is the working record, so you can question any number and correct it on the spot.
