Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Gnucash MCP ninetails-io Finance & Fintech	Myfinance MCP Finance & Fintech
Summary	Full double-entry accounting on local GnuCash books: transactions (single and batch), invoices and bills, budgets, investment lots, scheduled transactions, reconciliation, and reports. Modular tool loading — role presets (bookkeeper, investor, freelancer, business) expose just the surface you need, from a 29-tool core up to 87 in all. Multi-currency and multi-book aware, with a plain-text audit trail of every write. Data never leaves your machine. Try it before installing: the browser sandbox opens three populated sample books (USD, CNY, EUR) with nothing to set up; when it clicks, clone and run with uv.	Personal finance by conversation: expenses, receipts, statement import, budgets, net worth.
