Overview

What changes when Claude can work in your DualEntry ledger

DualEntry is an accounting platform. With the connector, a controller or an accountant asks for a record, a vendor or a schedule in plain words, and Claude looks it up in the ledger under that person's DualEntry role. It can also post a few kinds of records, which is where care matters most.

Find any record fast. You ask for journal entry JE-123 and its lines; Claude uses get_record_by_number, then get_record_history for the audit trail and get_related_records for payments against an invoice.

Post at month end. save_record creates an accounting record in the ledger, and save_entity creates an entity, such as a vendor or a customer that does not exist yet.

Check a schedule before committing it. preview_contract_schedule and preview_fixed_asset_schedule compute a revenue recognition or depreciation schedule without creating anything; create_contract and create_fixed_asset then commit it.

What Claude does not do: DualEntry says the write tools commit as soon as Claude calls them, with no draft stage and no confirmation prompt on DualEntry's side. Fourteen tools on the directory sheet are described nowhere, and this page does not guess what they do. Nothing runs on its own either: a nightly sync between systems is the job of an automation tool, a different trade introduced on the Integrations hub.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

The Claude vocabulary used on this page, defined once.

Connector
A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already hold, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
Tool
One named action the connector opens to Claude. Claude decides which to call as it answers, and the directory lists each one by name.
Authorization
The sign-in screen of the service, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Given once per person, and it can be taken back.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before changing something in an account, shown in the conversation at the right moment.
MCP
The common standard connectors are built on, which is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service like DualEntry.
Connect

Connect DualEntry to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find DualEntry in Claude

    Open Claude's settings, go to Customize, then Connectors, and look for DualEntry. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables it first; each member then signs in for themselves.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on DualEntry's row and sign in with your DualEntry credentials in the window DualEntry opens. If the link stops working later, Disconnect and connect again.

  3. 03

    Read the access screen

    Check DualEntry's authorization screen before you approve it. That screen, not Claude, sets what the access covers. You can withdraw it later from the DualEntry side.

Tools

The 29 tools, by what they do

DualEntry gives Claude 29 tools: 11 that read your account, 4 that change something in it, and 14 no official source describes.

DualEntry's catalogue describes 15 tools; the directory sheet now lists 29. Here is each one, in three groups. Names stay as Claude shows them.

  • 11 read
  • 4 write
  • 14 not documented

What Claude reads (11)

11 tools

Eleven tools that look up, list or compute without changing your books.

get_contract_detail

Opens a revenue recognition contract in full, with its schedule and the invoices tied to it, so Claude can walk you through where revenue lands month by month.

When it helps
an auditor asks how a three-year software deal is being recognised.
Watch out
DualEntry says revenue recognition also requires the matching subscription to be enabled for your organization.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_record_by_number

Finds a record from its number, such as JE-123, BI-456 or IN-789, which is how people usually refer to entries in emails and tickets.

When it helps
a colleague mentions invoice IN-789 in a message and you want its details without opening the app.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_record_detail

Returns the full content of a record from its transaction ID, so Claude can go from a record it has found to its full content.

When it helps
a search turned up five bills and you want the line items of the third one.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_record_history

Shows the audit trail of a record, meaning who changed what along the way. Claude can summarise that trail in a few sentences for you.

When it helps
during a review, someone asks who edited a journal entry after the period closed.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

list_bank_match_suggestions

Retrieves the suggested matches for bank statement lines, so Claude can show which transactions DualEntry thinks belong together during reconciliation.

When it helps
month-end reconciliation and you want the open suggestions reviewed in one pass.
Watch out
the documented tool only reads suggestions; it does not accept them.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

list_companies

Lists the companies of the organization that you are allowed to access, a useful first step when one DualEntry login spans several legal entities.

When it helps
a group finance lead checks which subsidiaries Claude can see before asking for any figures.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

preview_contract_schedule

Computes the recognition schedule a contract would produce, without creating it. It takes the same input as the creation tool, so you see the outcome first.

When it helps
sales closed a deal with an unusual billing cadence and finance wants to check the schedule before booking it.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

preview_fixed_asset_schedule

Works out the depreciation schedule an asset would get, again without creating anything. It works from a fixed asset payload, so you see the outcome before anything is committed.

When it helps
you are about to capitalise new servers and want to check the useful life before committing.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

search_entities

Searches vendors, customers, accounts, companies, items, classifications, terms and ownership records by name, with fuzzy matching. DualEntry's directory description puts that matching forward for customers, vendors and accounts in particular.

When it helps
you remember a vendor as Acme but not its exact legal name on file.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

search_records

Runs a filtered search over accounting records by type, vendor or customer, date range and amount range. It narrows a long ledger to the entries you are after.

When it helps
the CFO wants every bill from one supplier over the last quarter.

What Claude writes (4)

4 tools

Four tools that create something in DualEntry. No source describes Claude's confirmation for them, so the general rule below applies.

create_contract

Approval: see the rule

Creates a revenue recognition contract, which then drives recognition for its whole term. Running the preview first is the step DualEntry recommends.

What Claude asks for
no source describes Claude's own confirmation for this tool, so the general approval rule below applies.
When it helps
a new annual subscription deal needs its contract set up the day it is signed.
Watch out
DualEntry says it commits the moment it runs, with no draft stage.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

create_fixed_asset

Approval: see the rule

Registers a fixed asset with its full depreciation schedule. The preview tool computes that schedule first, without creating anything.

What Claude asks for
nothing specific is documented for this tool; the general approval rule below is the reference.
When it helps
new office fit-out has been invoiced and needs capitalising before the close.
Watch out
like the other documented write tools, it commits as soon as Claude calls it.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

save_entity

Approval: see the rule

Adds a new entity, such as a vendor or a customer, to DualEntry, within the entity types your role is allowed to create.

What Claude asks for
no source spells out a prompt for this tool, so the default approvals rule covers it.
When it helps
a bill arrives from a supplier nobody has set up yet.
Watch out
without Create rights on that entity type, it writes nothing and returns a missing permission message.

Sourcedocs.dualentry.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

save_record

Approval: see the rule

Creates an accounting record in your DualEntry ledger, within the record types your role allows. DualEntry says it commits as soon as Claude calls it, with no draft stage.

What Claude asks for
Claude's confirmation behaviour for it is not documented; see the general rule below.
When it helps
booking the month's accrued consulting fees from figures you have just checked with Claude.

Undocumented (14)

14 tools

These names appeared on the directory sheet without any description. DualEntry's tool catalogue does not cover them, so this page does not say what they do.

create_bank_match

This name is on the directory sheet and in no other source. DualEntry's catalogue of 15 tools does not include it, and no Claude page covers it, so nothing official says what it does or what it touches.

Watch out
whatever it does, the general approval rule below applies.

delete_fixed_asset

Listed on the sheet with no official sentence attached. Since DualEntry has not described it in its guides, this page does not infer anything from how the name reads.

Watch out
the general approval rule below is the only reference for it.

get_bank_match_status_counts

One of the fourteen names added to the sheet that no source explains. DualEntry's tool reference does not mention it, and Anthropic has no page on this connector at all.

Watch out
the default approval rule is the only documented framework for it.

get_bank_transaction

No official text describes this tool. It is absent from DualEntry's list of 15 and from Anthropic's pages, so its scope remains unknown here, and this card will not fill the gap with a guess.

Watch out
treat it under the general approvals rule like any other tool.

get_depreciation_book

The directory publishes this name and stops there. With no publisher description and no Claude documentation, the page leaves it unexplained rather than reading meaning into a few words.

Watch out
your DualEntry role still bounds whatever access it has, as for every tool.

get_fixed_asset_schedule

Undescribed in every source read on 1 October 2026: the directory sheet names it, DualEntry's documentation does not, and no Claude article exists. Nothing more can be said about it honestly.

Watch out
the general approval rule is the reference for it.

list_bank_transactions

Another name that appeared on the sheet without documentation. DualEntry's reference of 15 tools leaves it out, as do Anthropic's pages, so nothing official describes it.

Watch out
no approval detail is published for it; the approvals section below is the reference.

list_depreciation_books

No source says what this tool does or whether it changes anything. It sits on the directory sheet only, outside DualEntry's published catalogue and outside any example the publisher gives.

Watch out
Claude's default approvals rule applies to it, as to every tool.

patch_fixed_asset

The publisher has not documented this name anywhere we could read. Guessing its effect from the wording would be exactly that, a guess, so this card sticks to what is known: a name on a list.

Watch out
the default approval rule is all that applies to it on record.

trigger_bank_match

Absent from DualEntry's catalogue of 15 tools and from every Anthropic page. The sheet carries the name; no published text carries an explanation of what it is for.

Watch out
the general approval rule covers it until a source says more.

unmatch_bank_match

Here too, only the directory shows the name. Without a description from DualEntry or from Anthropic, this page cannot say whether it reads the ledger or writes to it.

Watch out
the approvals rule below covers it like any other tool.

update_entity

No published text covers this tool, neither DualEntry's reference nor its connector guide for Claude. Its behaviour remains undocumented, and the page does not borrow a description from any other tool to fill in.

Watch out
the general approval rule below is what applies.

update_fixed_asset

This one was added to the directory listing after DualEntry's reference of 15 tools and has had no description since, in any source checked for this page, from the directory sheet to DualEntry's own guides.

Watch out
the general approval rule below is the reference for it.

update_record

Last of the fourteen undescribed names. DualEntry's pages stop at 15 documented tools, and this one is not among them; the directory adds nothing beyond the name itself.

Watch out
Claude's default rule of asking before acting on an account is the reference here.
Approvals

What Claude checks with you first

By default, Claude stops and asks before each action it carries out on an account for someone, with the prompt shown in the conversation.

No source describes Claude's own confirmation for any DualEntry tool, so the default rule is the reference. DualEntry adds a warning on its side: save_record, save_entity, create_contract and create_fixed_asset commit as soon as they run, with no draft stage. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may let actions through without a prompt, and can close writing for the whole organization. Claude works under your DualEntry role: what you cannot reach in DualEntry, Claude cannot reach either.

Plans

Which plans include it

Not one of the 819 sheets in the official directory states plan availability, and Anthropic publishes no per-connector list.

Anthropic's general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile; on Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members can connect. DualEntry's own documentation states something narrower, which the limits section below sets side by side with that rule. For the live state on your account, check DualEntry's sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls DualEntry's tools while it answers, so nothing posts on its own when a bank feed lands or a period closes.

Everything here comes from DualEntry's documentation and the directory sheet; no Claude help center or developer page covers this connector. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, because an administrator can open actions that no public sheet shows. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it neither picks a publisher's tools nor guarantees their behaviour.

Two official sources disagree

Which Claude plans can use the DualEntry connector?

What this page followsNeither side is outdated. Anthropic's rule covers every connector; DualEntry's sentence is the publisher speaking, not Anthropic, and it excludes the free plan. Neither settles it for your account: check DualEntry's sheet in the directory on your own account.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude DualEntry connector

01What can Claude do with the DualEntry connector?
Claude can search and read your DualEntry ledger and create a few kinds of records in it. The eleven documented reading tools find records by filter, number or ID, show their audit trail and related payments, search vendors, customers and accounts, list your companies, read contracts and bank match suggestions, and preview revenue or depreciation schedules. Four writing tools create records, entities, contracts and fixed assets. Fourteen more tools on the directory sheet have no description anywhere.
02Can Claude post, change or delete entries in DualEntry?
Claude can post: four documented tools create an accounting record, an entity, a revenue recognition contract or a fixed asset. DualEntry warns that they commit immediately, with no draft stage. No source documents Claude editing or deleting anything. The fourteen undocumented names are described by no text, so this page makes no claim about what they do. Each create tool also checks your DualEntry role and writes nothing without the matching permission.
03Does Claude ask before it posts to DualEntry?
By default, Claude asks for confirmation before acting on an account for someone. No source describes a confirmation specific to any DualEntry tool, so that rule is what applies. DualEntry's own guide adds that its four documented write tools commit the moment they are called, with no draft stage and no confirmation prompt; that describes DualEntry's side, not Claude's approval setting. On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may skip prompts, and they can block writing for everyone.
04Which Claude plans is the DualEntry connector available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. Anthropic's general rule opens remote connectors to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner or Primary Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. DualEntry's documentation states a narrower requirement, quoted in the limits section of this page with its date. The directory sheet on your own account is the place to check the current state.
05Does Claude see the whole ledger?
No, Claude works under your DualEntry role and nothing more. DualEntry checks permissions per record type and per entity type, and returns a missing permission message when a right is lacking; a create tool that fails that check writes nothing. If you cannot see a record type in DualEntry, Claude cannot either. Adding the connector for the organization does not grant anyone ledger access: each member signs in individually with their own DualEntry account.
06Why does Claude lose access after we go live on DualEntry?
Because some go-lives create a new DualEntry organization instead of promoting the sandbox in place, and a new organization needs its own connection. The fix is the usual one for a broken link: open the connectors list in Claude, use Disconnect on DualEntry, then connect it again and sign in to the organization you now work in. Organization-level approval alone does not give anyone access, so each member who used the sandbox connection reconnects for themselves.
07Claude or an automation tool for DualEntry?
They cover different needs, so it depends on the job. Claude with DualEntry suits an accountant who wants to look things up, check a schedule and post an entry in one conversation, reviewing the figures as they go. An automation tool suits work that must run unattended, such as importing bank lines every night or posting a recurring entry on a fixed date. The DualEntry connector never acts by itself: every lookup and every posting starts with a request to Claude.
