Accountable runs an MCP server at accountable.im/mcp. Connect your AI app to it and the app can read your books and, on paid plans, change them within the limits you set.

The guardrails that always apply

  • On Free, agents can read but not change anything. Writes need Pro or Holding.
  • Every change an agent makes is logged as the app via your connection, and can be undone.
  • Agents never approve changes, including their own.
  • Nothing in a closed month changes until an owner reopens it.
