Overview

What changes once Claude can work in your Kick books

Instead of filtering transaction lists, exporting reports and copying figures into a chat, a bookkeeper asks Claude in plain words and Claude works in Kick itself. It reads transactions, rules, ledgers and reports across the workspaces you allowed, and when a change is needed it prepares it, shows you a preview, and only applies it once you confirm.

Clean up uncategorized spending. An accountant asks for every unreviewed Stripe transaction from last quarter: Claude finds them with transactions_query, proposes a category, and applies it through transactions_act after you approve the preview.

Stop doing the same fix twice. When the same vendor keeps landing in the wrong place, rules_act creates a categorization rule, and rules_query first shows which transactions it would match.

Answer a client question with numbers. reports_query runs a profit and loss, a balance sheet, a cash flow statement or six other reports, so Claude can explain a quarter in the conversation.

What it does not do: Kick says permanent deletion is not available, only marking transactions for deletion, and account merges are not offered either. Some tools depend on the capabilities of your Kick subscription. Nothing runs on its own: no rule fires because Claude is connected, and no report is sent at month end; Claude acts only while it answers you. For scheduled jobs, the Integrations hub lists automation platforms.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

The vocabulary around this connector, in one minute.

Connector
A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
Tool
One named capability a connector gives Claude. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own, and the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The sign-in screen of the service, where you grant the access Claude will use. Given once per person, and it can be withdrawn.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before an action that changes your account, shown in the conversation when it matters.
MCP
The common standard connectors are built on: it lets an assistant such as Claude talk to an outside service like Kick.
Connect

Connect Kick to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find Kick in Claude

    Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and look the connector up in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables it for the organization before members can each connect with their own login.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Kick

    Click Connect on its row and log in to Kick in the window it opens. If the connection breaks later, Disconnect it and connect again from the same row; access can also be withdrawn from the Kick side.

  3. 03

    Choose what you authorize

    Read the authorization screen before you accept: it belongs to Kick, not to Claude, and it sets what the access covers. Kick's guide says this is where you pick all your workspaces or only selected ones.

Approvals

What Claude checks with you first

By default, Claude stops and asks before each action it takes on an account for someone. Kick adds its own layer: every change starts as a preview.

Kick's documentation says all its write tools are preview-first: the first call returns a description of the change with a one-time token, and the change only happens when the same request comes back with that token. Kick also states that the connector is read-only by default and asks for explicit confirmation before any change. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may skip repeated prompts and can limit a connector for the whole organization; nobody overrides that from a personal account.

Plans

Which plans include it

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory states its plan availability. That answer is published nowhere by Anthropic, connector by connector.

Anthropic's general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members can each connect. Kick's own guide names Claude plans for this connector; the limits section sets it against Anthropic's rule. The directory sheet on your account shows the current state.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, so nothing happens when a bank feed imports new transactions or a period closes.

Only Kick documents this connector; neither the Claude help center nor Anthropic's developer docs has a page about it. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic says on every sheet that it neither chooses a publisher's tools nor guarantees their behaviour. Kick also warns that instructions hidden in outside documents, emails or transaction memos can try to steer an assistant. It also asks you to enable the connector in each conversation where you want to use it.

Two official sources disagree

Which Claude plans can use the Kick connector?

What this page followsThe two point the same way, but they are not the same voice: Anthropic's rule covers every connector, while Kick's line speaks for this one and comes from the publisher, not Anthropic. Neither is outdated. Check the directory sheet on your own account before relying on either.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude Kick connector

01What can Claude do with the Kick connector?
Claude can read and update your Kick bookkeeping from the conversation. The directory sheet lists thirty-nine tools. Nineteen read: workspaces, financial accounts, transactions, categories, classes, counterparties, rules, chart of accounts, opening balances, journals, documents, entities, activity, tasks, nine financial reports and Kick's skill guides. Twenty write: they recategorize or split transactions, match transfers, manage rules, accounts, journals and documents, create bills and invoices, undo activity and set up client workspaces.
02Can Claude change or delete entries in my Kick books?
Yes, twenty tools change data, each after a preview you confirm. They edit, split and create transactions, mark them for deletion, match transfers, manage categories, classes, counterparties, rules, accounts, opening balances, journals, entities, tasks and documents, and create or update bills and invoices. Kick sets boundaries: no permanent deletion, no account merge, and bill or invoice updates only for records created through the connector. Undoing an earlier change is also possible.
03Does Claude ask before it changes anything in Kick?
Yes. Kick documents that every write tool is preview-first: Claude receives a description of the change and a one-time token, shows you the preview, and the change only goes through when it is confirmed with that token. On top of that, Claude's own rule is to ask before acting on an account. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may skip repeated prompts and can block writing for the whole organization.
04Which plans is it available on?
Anthropic does not publish plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. Its general rule is that remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner or Primary Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. The publisher's guide names its own list of plans, quoted in the limits section of this page. Neither source is outdated, so check the directory sheet on your own account.
05Can Claude see every client in our Kick account?
No. During authorization you choose all your workspaces or only selected ones, and Kick says Claude can only reach the workspaces the connecting person can already view. If you picked selected workspaces, the others stay out of Claude's reach. On Team and Enterprise, each member authenticates individually. Each person keeps their own Kick rights, so what one colleague reaches says nothing about another. Owners can narrow what the connector does for everyone in the organization.
06Why does a class or invoice tool return an error in Kick?
Because some tools depend on features of your Kick subscription. Kick's reference says class tools need the Classes capability, while bill and invoice tools need the Accrual Ledger one. These tools still appear in the list Claude sees, but they return a capability error when called on a workspace without the feature. Kick adds that the tool list can vary with your subscription and permissions. Category changes are also blocked in workspaces set up GL-first.
07Should I use Claude or an automation tool with Kick?
They suit different needs, so it depends on the job. Claude fits work you steer: investigating a balance, cleaning a batch of transactions, or explaining a report, with a preview to confirm each change. An automation tool fits tasks that must run without you, such as exporting a report every month, because a connector never starts on its own. Neither is ranked above the other; they simply do different jobs.
