Searching for “Claude The Standard”? You’re in the right place. Your The Standard account holds your financial life: checking balances, investment positions, retirement savings. Until now, getting “AI for The Standard” meant exporting CSVs, copying numbers, and hoping nothing was stale by the time you asked a question.

By Scott Blandford, Founder & CEO of Truthifi | Reviewed by Mike Young

Truthifi changes that. With a Claude The Standard connection using Truthifi, Claude can see your live The Standard portfolio data, balances, and transaction history. Truthifi rebuilds your historical data on connection: it fills gaps, corrects cost basis errors, and resolves ticker mismatches, so Claude works with clean, normalized data from day one. All of this happens through a read-only MCP connector that never touches your credentials and cannot move money.

This guide walks you through setup (about 5 minutes), explains exactly what Truthifi allows and blocks with your The Standard data, and shows you how to turn raw financial data into actionable The Standard AI insights with Claude.

Before you begin, you'll need:

• A paid individual Claude subscription (Pro or Max). Custom connectors are only available on paid individual plans. Free accounts and some team plans cannot add custom connectors.

• A Truthifi Connect account with at least one linked financial institution. Truthifi Connect is free to try, with paid plans from $5.99/month.

How to Connect Claude to Your The Standard Account

Ready to connect Claude to financial accounts? Here's how to link your The Standard data.

1. Open Claude's Connectors panel. Go to claude.ai. Click Customize → Connectors (or navigate directly to claude.ai/settings/connectors).

2. Add the Truthifi connector. Find Truthifi in the directory or click Add custom connector. Enter Name: Truthifi, URL: https://api.truthifi.com/mcp. Click Add.

3. Authorize your accounts. Claude redirects you to Truthifi’s OAuth screen. Sign in to your Truthifi account, select which The Standard accounts to share with Claude, confirm the read-only scope, and click Authorize.

4. Enable Truthifi when needed. In any new chat, click + → Connectors → toggle Truthifi on. You may need to re-enable Truthifi in some new conversations if it isn't active by default.

5. Verify the connection. Send: “What is my current asset allocation across all my connected accounts?” If Claude responds with your actual The Standard holdings, the connection is live.

Perfect, your The Standard account is now linked to Claude and ready for Claude personal finance analysis.

Example Prompts for Claude

Portfolio Deep Dive

Pull my complete asset allocation across all my The Standard accounts and break it down by asset class, sector, and geography. Format the results as a table with dollar amounts and percentages for each category.

Fee Audit

Calculate the total expense ratios, advisory fees, and any other costs I'm paying across every fund and account in my The Standard portfolio. Show me the dollar amount per year for each fee layer and the cumulative impact over 10 years assuming 7% annual growth.

Retirement Readiness

Run a retirement readiness analysis using my current The Standard balances, contribution rate, and historical savings trajectory. Model three scenarios — conservative, moderate, and optimistic — and tell me at what age each scenario runs out of money. Present the results as a comparison table.

Stress Test

Stress-test my entire The Standard portfolio against a 2008-style market crash, a 2020-style rapid drawdown, and a sustained stagflation environment. Show projected drawdown percentages and estimated recovery timelines for each scenario.

Tax-Loss Harvesting

Identify every tax-loss harvesting opportunity in my The Standard taxable accounts. For each position with an unrealized loss, estimate the tax savings at a 24% federal bracket and suggest a replacement holding that maintains similar sector exposure.

Cash Flow Analysis

Analyze my spending and cash flow from my The Standard transaction history over the past 6 months. Categorize expenses into fixed, variable, and discretionary. Calculate my savings rate and flag any months where I spent more than I earned.

Rebalancing Plan

Compare my current The Standard portfolio to a standard 60/40 target allocation and to a three-fund lazy portfolio. For each comparison, show me where I'm overweight and underweight, and recommend specific rebalancing moves with dollar amounts.

Holdings Review

Review my top 10 holdings by portfolio weight and run a fundamental analysis on each — P/E ratio, dividend yield, 52-week performance, and analyst consensus. Flag any positions where concentration exceeds 10% of my total portfolio.

Account Overlap Check

Analyze the overlap between my The Standard brokerage account and my retirement accounts. Identify any duplicate holdings, correlated positions, or sectors where I have unintentional concentration risk across accounts.

Financial Dashboard

Summarize my complete financial picture across all connected The Standard accounts — total net worth, investment performance over the past 1, 3, and 5 years, total fees paid last year, and my current savings rate. Format this as an executive financial dashboard.

Why Truthifi?

Security

Your The Standard username and password never touch Truthifi's servers. Authentication occurs directly on your provider's domain, creating a read-only, protocol-enforced connection secured with AES-256 encryption. Claude receives only scoped data tokens, never your actual credentials. You maintain complete control and can revoke access anytime at The Standard's connected apps settings or through your Truthifi dashboard.

Privacy

Your financial data stays under your complete control when using Truthifi. We never store login credentials from The Standard or any financial institution. You decide which specific accounts Claude can access, creating selective permissions rather than blanket access. Data never gets sold to third parties, and connecting one AI tool doesn't automatically grant access to others.

Audit Trail

Every MCP data request is logged with complete session details for Claude financial planning transparency. When Claude accesses your The Standard account data, the timestamp and specific information retrieved gets recorded automatically. You maintain full visibility into which financial details were accessed during each interaction. This tracking means you always know exactly what happened with your sensitive financial information.

Data Quality

When The Standard delivers raw transaction data with Up to 12 months of premium and account history, Truthifi rebuilds historical information from multiple aggregation sources to correct these inconsistencies. Our normalization process fills data gaps and resolves ticker mismatches that could mislead Claude financial planning algorithms. This process delivers up to 10 years of clean, accurate transaction history for reliable analysis.

About Claude

Developed by the same company that originated the Model Context Protocol in November 2024, Claude offers built-in first-party support for connecting to financial accounts without third-party integration layers. This deep protocol integration means fewer connection errors and more consistent data retrieval during extended analysis sessions. This native architecture enables direct analysis of investment portfolios, spending patterns, and account balances from The Standard and other institutions.

With financial analysis with Claude capabilities extending across multiple data sources simultaneously, users can identify portfolio concentration risks and retirement contribution gaps through cross-account analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to connect my The Standard account using Truthifi?

Connecting through The Standard's Username/password (Standard.com customer portal) ensures your login credentials stay exactly where they belong: on The Standard's own secure servers. When you connect, you're redirected to The Standard's domain to log in directly, then grant specific read-only permissions before returning to Truthifi. Your username and password never pass through our systems. Claude receives only a scoped data token with read-only access, meaning it cannot move money, execute trades, or modify account settings. Every data request is logged for transparency, and you maintain full control through The Standard's connected apps settings or our dashboard. Complete security details at https://truthifi.com/security.

What does Truthifi allow with my The Standard data — and what does it block?

When you connect Claude to financial accounts, the AI cannot move money, place trades, or change account settings due to architectural limitations. The read-only access token from Username/password (Standard.com customer portal) prevents Claude from executing any transactions on your The Standard account. Instead, Claude personal finance capabilities focus on surfacing your fee burden across funds, flagging allocation drift from your target, and modeling retirement scenarios using your actual contribution rate.

Financial advisors provide guidance based on your full financial picture, while AI analysis supplements your understanding between professional meetings.

What about my financial advisor?

The relationship between The Standard advisors and Claude creates a support system for your financial planning needs. Your advisor sets strategy and provides personalized recommendations, while Claude helps you stay informed between meetings by reviewing holdings, tracking allocation drift, and running what-if scenarios on your actual data. AI analysis supplements — but does not replace — professional guidance.

What The Standard account types does Truthifi support?

Truthifi supports connecting your The Standard group life, disability, dental, and vision insurance plus 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and individual annuity products accounts through its read-only MCP connector. Each account type is linked with the same security architecture — no trading, no transfers, no changes to your The Standard settings. You can connect multiple account types simultaneously for a complete financial picture.

How does Truthifi compare to other options?

How do I disconnect Claude from Truthifi?

Disconnecting Claude from Truthifi requires navigating to Customize > Connectors → find Truthifi → click Remove. You can also revoke access directly from The Standard's connected apps settings. This action won't affect your other The Standard connections or any additional AI financial planning integrations you've established.

Your Claude The Standard connection through Truthifi represents a new way to interact with your own financial data. No exports, no stale spreadsheets, no guesswork. Just your live Claude The Standard portfolio view, analyzed whenever you have a question. Check your investment performance, run AI stock analysis, review fees across accounts, model retirement scenarios, or simply ask Claude to explain what changed since last month.

Because the data refreshes automatically using Truthifi's read-only connector, every answer reflects your current balances, holdings, and transaction history — not a snapshot from days or weeks ago. Whether you manage a single brokerage account or coordinate across multiple financial institutions, the combination of Claude and Truthifi puts real portfolio intelligence when you need it.

As Claude evolves, the financial insight it can extract from your The Standard data will only deepen. This connection puts you closer to your own financial data. Privacy is central to the design: Truthifi never stores your credentials, and the read-only protocol means no AI assistant can execute transactions on your behalf. You stay in full control of what data is shared and can revoke access at any time through your account settings.

The result is financial transparency without financial risk — your data, your questions, on your schedule.

Congratulations! With your The Standard account now connected through Truthifi, Claude can analyze your real portfolio data in real time. Track your investments, review your fees, and ask questions about your actual financial accounts. Your data flows using Truthifi's read-only MCP connector — Claude can see your data but cannot make trades, move funds, or alter your account settings in any way.

Start with a simple question like 'What is my current asset allocation?' or 'How have my investments performed this year?' to see the connection in action. From there, you can explore deeper analyses specific to your financial goals. As you continue using Claude with your The Standard data, you may discover patterns in your spending, identify underperforming holdings, or find opportunities to reduce fees across your portfolio.

Each conversation builds on the last, giving you progressively richer financial awareness. The more questions you ask, the more value this connection delivers.

Is connecting my The Standard account using Truthifi safe?

What can Truthifi actually do with my The Standard data?

With Claude, you can analyze your The Standard portfolio allocations to identify concentration risks across multiple investment accounts.

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

Yes, you'll need a Pro subscription at $20 monthly to use Truthifi. Since it's a custom MCP connector rather than an official library tool, Claude requires the paid tier. The Pro subscription also gives you extended context windows for using Claude for finance analysis of your The Standard portfolio data.

Where is my data stored?

No financial information stays stored between your conversations. When you connect Claude to The Standard through our secure connection, all portfolio data gets retrieved fresh each session and disappears completely when you close the chat, ensuring your Claude financial planning discussions remain private.

To enable Claude portfolio analysis features again, you need to reactivate the connection in each new chat session. Click the + button, go to Connectors, then toggle Truthifi on to reconnect The Standard. This security measure protects your Claude sessions while maintaining your existing account link.

Does this replace my financial advisor?

No, connecting The Standard through Truthifi does not replace your financial advisor. The platform offers data analysis, not advisory services, while Claude supplements advisors between meetings with account insights.

What is Truthifi?

Truthifi serves as an independent financial data platform that enables you to connect Claude to financial accounts from over 18,000 US institutions. The service operates on a subscription model and does not sell data, earn commissions, or sell financial products. Through secure MCP integration, Claude can access your The Standard accounts and other holdings for AI financial planning purposes.

Who can see my data?

No external parties can access your The Standard account information when using Claude for finance. Only Claude receives your data during active conversations, and we maintain a subscription model that never involves selling your financial information to third-party companies.

Informational only. Not financial advice. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions. Truthifi is an independent platform. This guide reflects current product functionality as of June 2026.
