Questions about AI assistants

What is the Diagonalise AI connector?

It is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://www.diagonalise.com/mcp. AI apps that support MCP can use it to read and update your Diagonalise account when you ask them to: invoices, expenses, customers, products and your UK tax year reports.

Which AI apps work with Diagonalise?

Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop and mobile apps, as a custom connector), ChatGPT (as a connector in developer mode), GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Claude Code, and other apps that can connect to a remote MCP server using OAuth sign-in or an API token.

How do I connect it?

Add https://www.diagonalise.com/mcp as a connector in your AI app. When it asks, sign in to Diagonalise, choose the business, choose read only or read and write, and approve. Step-by-step instructions for each app are on the AI & API page inside your account.

Can the AI see or change everything in my account?

No. It works as you, so it can never do more than your own role allows, and you choose read-only or read-and-write access when you connect. It cannot change your settings, billing, payment methods or team, and it cannot send anything to HMRC.

Can it send invoices to my clients or file my tax return?

No. It can create and update invoices, mark them paid and give you a link to the PDF, but sending invoices and filing your Self Assessment stay with you.

Can I disconnect it?

Yes, at any time from the AI & API page in your account. Access stops immediately, and so do any invoice PDF links it created. Those links expire after 15 minutes anyway.

Will my financial data be used to train AI models?

Diagonalise only sends data to the AI app you connect, and only when it asks. How that app stores and uses your conversations is set by its own terms and privacy settings, so check those with your AI provider.

Which plans include AI assistants?

AI assistants are included at no extra cost from Diagonalise: read only on Free. Read and write on Professional. Personal access tokens for the API are on the Professional plan. You also need an account with the AI app you use.
