For a first report and API setup, start with the developer quickstart and authentication reference.
Which agent do you use?
Economico offers two connection paths: an MCP server at https://economi.co/mcp, and the @economico/cli npm package for agents that run shell commands. Both sign in through the same flow and reach the same commands and reports on the same books.
| Agent | Who makes it | Connection | Fastest setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Anthropic | MCP or CLI | claude mcp add --transport http economico https://economi.co/mcp |
| Claude | Anthropic | MCP | Add https://economi.co/mcp as a custom connector |
| Codex | OpenAI | MCP or CLI | codex mcp add economico --url https://economi.co/mcp |
| Grok | xAI | MCP or CLI | Add https://economi.co/mcp as a custom connector, or grok mcp add --transport http economico https://economi.co/mcp in Grok Build |
| Hermes | Nous Research | MCP or CLI | npm install -g @economico/cli |
| OpenClaw | Open source | MCP or CLI | npm install -g @economico/cli |
| Pi | Earendil | CLI | npm install -g @economico/cli |
Host support changes; if your agent offers both, either path works. The CLI needs Node 24 or newer.
Connect the agent you already use
If your agent isn't listed, or you'd rather not choose, paste this and let the agent read /skill.md and set itself up:
Set up Economico per https://economi.co/skill.md
The agent follows the setup guide, opens the sign-in for you to approve, and checks its access. Financial answers depend on the agreements, activity, payments and costs you record; a new ledger has no burn history yet.
Why your own agent, not ours
Economico will never ship its own chat UI or copilot. The agent you already use for code, research and email is the one that reaches your inbox, CRM and files, so it, not an accounting vendor, connects them to your books. Economico never asks for access to any of those systems. How access works.
