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 Neuberger Berman data, and shows you how to turn raw financial data into actionable Neuberger Berman AI insights with OpenClaw — the free, open-source AI agent.

How to Connect OpenClaw to Your Neuberger Berman Account

Ready to connect OpenClaw to financial accounts? Here's how to connect OpenClaw to your Neuberger Berman account.

1. Open OpenClaw config — Launch OpenClaw locally or in your self-hosted environment. Open the connectors configuration file (typically ~/.openclaw/connectors.yaml) or the connector panel in the UI.

2. Add the Truthifi connector — Add a new MCP connector entry. Name: Truthifi. URL: https://api.truthifi.com/mcp. Save the config and restart the OpenClaw process if needed.

3. Authorize your accounts — OpenClaw will open a browser window pointing to Truthifi's OAuth screen. Sign in to your Truthifi account, select which Neuberger Berman accounts to share with OpenClaw, confirm the read-only scope, and click Authorize. The OAuth token is stored locally on your machine.

4. Enable Truthifi per session — In any new OpenClaw session, ensure the Truthifi connector is active in your session config or pass --connector truthifi at startup.

5. Verify the connection — Send: "What is my current asset allocation across all my connected Neuberger Berman accounts?" If OpenClaw responds with your actual Neuberger Berman holdings, the connection is live.

Perfect! You've successfully linked your Neuberger Berman account to OpenClaw for comprehensive OpenClaw financial planning assistance.

Why Truthifi?

5.1. Security

Your Neuberger Berman 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. OpenClaw receives only scoped data tokens, never your actual credentials, and tokens are stored on your local machine. You maintain complete control and can revoke access anytime.

5.2. Privacy

Your financial data stays under your complete control when using Truthifi. We never store login credentials from Neuberger Berman or any financial institution. Because OpenClaw is open source and runs locally, your prompts and responses stay on your machine — there is no third-party AI vendor in the data path beyond Truthifi's read-only retrieval. Data is never sold to third parties.

5.3. Audit Trail

Every MCP data request is logged with complete session details for OpenClaw financial planning transparency. When OpenClaw accesses your Neuberger Berman account data, the timestamp and specific information retrieved is recorded automatically. With OpenClaw, you can also enable local request logging for a fully auditable client-side trail.

5.4. Data Quality

When Neuberger Berman delivers raw transaction data with limited lookback, Truthifi rebuilds historical information from multiple aggregation sources — BAA (4 endpoints), Plaid (3), and Yodlee (3) — for deep 10-row coverage. Our normalization process fills data gaps and resolves ticker mismatches that could mislead OpenClaw financial planning analyses.

What does Truthifi allow with my Neuberger Berman data — and what does it block?

When you connect OpenClaw 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 + MFA authentication prevents OpenClaw from executing any transactions on your Neuberger Berman account. Instead, OpenClaw personal finance capabilities focus on surfacing your fee burden, flagging allocation drift, and supporting scripted local analysis.

Is OpenClaw really free?

Yes. OpenClaw is open source and the core distribution is Free. You may incur costs for the underlying language model if you point OpenClaw at a paid inference provider, but the OpenClaw agent itself, including the MCP connector framework that connects to Truthifi, has no subscription fee.

What about my financial advisor?

The relationship between Neuberger Berman advisors and OpenClaw creates a comprehensive support system. Your advisor brings deep knowledge of your goals; OpenClaw supplements with scriptable, locally controlled data analysis between meetings.

What Neuberger Berman account types does Truthifi support?

Truthifi supports connecting your Neuberger Berman Mutual Funds, NB Private Wealth, Institutional Asset Management, and Private Asset Management (PAM) accounts through its read-only MCP connector.

How does Truthifi compare to other options?

How do I disconnect OpenClaw from Truthifi?

To disconnect OpenClaw from Truthifi, remove the connector entry from your OpenClaw config and delete the local OAuth token. You can also revoke access directly from Neuberger Berman or from your Truthifi dashboard.

Do I need a paid OpenClaw plan?

No. OpenClaw is free and open source. The Truthifi MCP connector is included at no additional charge. You only pay for whichever language model you point OpenClaw at, if any.

Note: MCP connections work with the OpenClaw Open Source build (Free).

Where is my data stored?

OpenClaw stores conversation context locally. When you connect to Neuberger Berman through Truthifi's MCP system, data flows directly to your local OpenClaw session. Nothing is sent to a third-party AI vendor unless you explicitly configure one.

Can I connect both OpenClaw and ChatGPT to my Neuberger Berman account?

Yes. Each AI connection through Truthifi is independent. Connecting OpenClaw does not expose your data to ChatGPT, and vice versa.

Does Neuberger Berman's employee ownership affect how I should think about my account?

Neuberger Berman's 100% employee ownership — restored in 2009 after the Lehman Brothers buyout — is unusual among large asset managers. OpenClaw can help you script ongoing analyses that contextualize that structure against publicly traded asset manager peers.

Truthifi connects OpenClaw to your Neuberger Berman accounts through a layered MCP architecture with 10 total data provider rows for deep, redundant coverage:

• BAA (Bank Account Aggregation, 4 endpoints) — Primary path for NB Private Wealth Client Account Access and direct institutional reporting feeds. Highest fidelity for cost basis and tax lots.

• Plaid (3 endpoints) — Secondary path covering Mutual Fund Access and consumer-facing balance retrieval. Fastest reconnect when MFA refreshes.
