# MCP Quickstart

####

{% hint style="warning" %}
Kick MCP with Claude is set as a read-only by default, with explicit confirmation required before any changes. Read more about [Permissions and Safety](/developers/permissions-and-safety.md) before you start.
{% endhint %}

#### Where to start: First prompts with MCP

Once connected, you can ask Claude to:

* Find and analyze transactions: "Show me all transactions over $5,000 from last quarter"
* Generate financial reports: "Create a profit and loss report for January 2026"
* Review client data: "What are the top 5 expenses for \[client name] this year?"
* Work with accounts: "List all asset accounts and their current balances"
* Create accounting rules: "Create a rule to categorize all Amazon transactions as Office Supplies"
* Analyze trends: "Compare Q1 and Q2 revenue across all entities"

Most tools are read-only by default. If Claude needs to make changes (like creating a rule or updating a transaction), it will ask for your explicit confirmation first.

#### Data Privacy and Security

* **Your data stays in Kick**: Claude requests data through the MCP connection but doesn't store your Kick data permanently
* **Workspace permissions apply**: Claude can only access workspaces you already have permission to view in Kick
* **You control access**: You can disconnect Kick at any time from the Connectors page
* **Confirmation required for changes**: Write operations require your explicit approval before execution
