Pick Plaid from the marketplace. WorkAist handles OAuth 2.0 and stores the credentials encrypted — no JSON keys to paste.
- 2Tools auto-generated
Plaid exposes 6 MCP tools to every agent in your workspace: list_accounts, get_balance, list_transactions, create_transfer, and more. Each tool is a typed function, not a brittle script.
- 3Data flows to your graph
Historical banking records sync to your private knowledge graph. Agents query relationships across all connected sources, not just Plaid in isolation.
- 4Your agents take action
AI Bookkeeper picks the right tool, runs it under your access policies, and answers in plain language — with a full audit trail of every Plaid call.
Plaid is banking software you can connect to WorkAist in minutes. Through the open MCP standard, your AI agents categorise transactions, reconcile accounts and prepare reports — autonomously, under explicit permissions, with no manual hand-offs. Plaid authenticates via OAuth, and because WorkAist is self-hosted under AGPL-3.0, your data never leaves your own infrastructure.

FAQ
Can a WorkAist AI agent really automate Plaid end-to-end?▼
Yes. The connector exposes read and write tools through Model Context Protocol. AI agents call them through plain-language instructions in a CLAUDE.md file — no glue code.
How does this differ from using the Plaid API directly?▼
The connector adds permission isolation, audit logging, cost tracking per agent, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary. It also presents Plaid as part of a unified Knowledge Graph alongside your other tools.
What does it cost?▼
WorkAist is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted, so the connector itself is free. You pay only for Plaid's own API costs (if any) and the LLM tokens your agent consumes.
Is my Plaid data sent to a third party?▼
No. WorkAist runs in your own infrastructure. Data flows from Plaid → your WorkAist instance → the LLM you choose. Sensitive fields can be tokenized before reaching the LLM.
What if Plaid changes its API?▼
The connector is versioned and published openly. When Plaid ships breaking changes, we bump the connector version and the marketplace UI surfaces the upgrade as a one-click apply.
