Example Prompts for Claude

Portfolio Deep Dive

Pull my complete asset allocation across all my Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo’s third-party access settings or through your Truthifi dashboard.

Privacy

Your financial data stays under your complete control when using Truthifi. We never store login credentials from Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 comprehensive tracking ensures you always know exactly what happened with your sensitive financial information.

Data Quality

When Wells Fargo delivers raw transaction data with consolidated WellsTrade and Advisors positions in a single normalized feed, 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 comprehensive approach ensures up to 10 years of clean, accurate transaction history for reliable analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to connect my Wells Fargo account through Truthifi?

Connecting through Wells Fargo's OAuth 2.0 flow ensures your login credentials stay exactly where they belong: on Wells Fargo's own secure servers. When you connect, you're redirected to Wells Fargo'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 Wells Fargo’s third-party access settings or our dashboard. Complete security details at https://truthifi.com/security.

What does Truthifi allow with my Wells Fargo 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 OAuth 2.0 flow prevents Claude from executing any transactions on your Wells Fargo account. Instead, Claude personal finance capabilities focus on surface your fee burden across funds, flag allocation drift from your target, and model retirement scenarios using your actual contribution rate.

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

What about my financial advisor?

The relationship between Wells Fargo advisors and Claude creates a comprehensive support system for your financial planning needs.
