how much did I spend on food last month?

Plan tiers

Developer Mode MCP requires ChatGPT Plusor higher (Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu). Free tier can’t add custom MCPs yet. Mobile app doesn’t support Developer Mode — conversations you start on web will have BankBridge, mobile-only chats won’t.

For enterprise admins

If you’re deploying BankBridge org-wide, see ChatGPT Enterprise Connectors — admin-installed connectors appear for every member automatically.

Troubleshooting

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

Fix: Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with `Bearer ` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

Fix: Paste a fresh key from Settings.

403 Forbidden.

Your BankBridge subscription is inactive (canceled or past-due), or your account has no connected banks.

Fix: Visit Settings to confirm your subscription is active.

Tools return a NO_CONNECTIONS warning.

You haven't linked a bank yet.

Fix: Visit Connect a bank — the bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
